4. For the descriptions below, circle the organism(s) that match the description. Get all their nutri- ents from the water mosses that surrounds chlorophytes mosses ferns conifers angiosperms them. Have no vascular tissues. The sporophyte is the dominant phase of their life cycle. Are terrestrial plants. Vast forests of these organisms around chlorophytes mosses ferns conifers angiosperms chlorophytes chlorophytes mosses ferns conifers angiosperms ferns conifers angiosperms mosses 300 million years chlorophytes mosses ferns conifers angiosperms ago formed the fossil fuels we use today The evolutionary success of flowering plants can be partly attributed to the mutu- ally beneficial relationships between these species and other organisms. For example, flowers have markings that reflect ultraviolet light around the area where pollen is released and nectar (a high-energy fluid) is found. Honeybees can detect ultraviolet light. The evolutionary benefit of this relationship to the honeybees is obvious: hon- eybees get free meals when they visit the flower. What is the evolutionary benefit of this angiosperm-honeybee relationship to the plant? 5.

Explanation / Answer

[4. For the descriptions below, circle the organism(s) that match the description.

Get all their nutrients from the water that surrounds them.  chlorophytes

Have no vascular tissues. chlorophytes and mosses

The sporophyte is the dominant phase of their life cycle. conifers and angiosperms

Are terrestrial plants.ferns, conifers, and angiosperms

Vast forests of these organisms around 300 million years ago formed the fossil fuels we use today. conifers, and angiosperms

The evolutionary success of flowering plants can be partly attributed to the mutually beneficial relationships between these species and other organisms. For example, flowers have markings that reflect ultraviolet light around the area where pollen is released and nectar (a high-energy fluid) is found. Honeybees can detect ultraviolet light. The evolutionary benefit of this relationship to the honeybees is obvious: honeybees get free meals when they visit the flower. What is the evolutionary benefit of this angiosperm-honeybee relationship to the plant?

Yes, as honey-bee come for nectar they also take pollen from that flower and shed it on another flower. This process of outbreeding has helped a lot in evolution.
