True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
____ 1. The fruit is the structure that separates Coniferophyta from the Anthophyta.
____ 2. In club mosses and ferns, unlike mosses, the sporophyte is the dominant generation.
____ 3. Plants in Division Bryophyta have remained very small over time. This is because they lack a
vascular system.
____ 4. The rate of photosynthesis increases when a plant’s stomata close.
____ 5. The individual cells that make up the stomata are known as guard cells.
____ 6. Phloem transports sugars from the leaves where it is made to places it is needed.
____ 7. Water is required for fertilization to occur in all vascular plants.
