22.2 Assessment

Review Key Concepts

    1. Review In what kind of environments are green algae found?

    2. Compare and Contrast How are green algae similar to and different from other plants?

    1. Review Why are bryophytes small?

    2. Apply Concepts How is water essential to the life cycle of a bryophyte?

    1. Review What function do vascular tissues allow?

    2. Infer The size of plants increased dramatically with the evolution of vascular tissue. How might these two events be related?

BUILD VOCABULARY

  1. Find all the word roots for the terms in this lesson that end in -phyte. (Recall that the suffix -phyte means “plant.”) Now, look up the meaning of each word root paired with -phyte. Write down the root-suffix translation of each of these words. Which translations help you remember what each word means? Explain.
