  2. Sporophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporophyte

    Most algae have dominant gametophyte generations, but in some species the gametophytes and sporophytes are morphologically similar . An independent sporophyte is the dominant form in all clubmosses , horsetails , ferns , gymnosperms, and angiosperms that have survived to the present day.

  3. Algae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae

    Algae can be used to capture fertilizers in runoff from farms. When subsequently harvested, the enriched algae can be used as fertilizer. Aquaria and ponds can be filtered using algae, which absorb nutrients from the water in a device called an algae scrubber, also known as an algae turf scrubber. [129] [130]

  4. Epiphyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyte

    Tillandsia bourgaei growing on an oak tree in Mexico. An epiphyte is a plant or plant-like organism that grows on the surface of another plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water (in marine environments) or from debris accumulating around it.

  5. Embryophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryophyte

    The sporophyte has two kinds of spore-forming organs or sporangia. One kind, the megasporangium, produces only a single large spore, a megaspore. This sporangium is surrounded by sheathing layers or integuments which form the seed coat. Within the seed coat, the megaspore develops into a tiny gametophyte, which in turn produces one or more egg ...

  6. Algal nutrient solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algal_nutrient_solution

    Algae Covered Pond. Algal nutrient solutions are made up of a mixture of chemical salts and seawater. [1] Sometimes referred to as "Growth Media", nutrient solutions (e.g., the Hoagland solution, along with carbon dioxide and light), provide the materials needed for algae to grow.

  7. Green algae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_algae

    Green algae are often classified with their embryophyte descendants in the green plant clade Viridiplantae (or Chlorobionta). Viridiplantae, together with red algae and glaucophyte algae, form the supergroup Primoplantae, also known as Archaeplastida or Plantae sensu lato. The ancestral green alga was a unicellular flagellate. [20]

    Garton said one the endemic algae species died, which required him and Van Kley to collect more. The two also had difficulty taking the mass of the chlorella algae, partly because it was so small.

  9. Parasitic plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_plant

    Plants and algae that grow on the host plant, using it as an attachment point are given the designation epiphytic (epilithic is the name given to plants/algae that use rocks or boulders for attachment), while not necessarily parasitic, some species occur in high correlation with a certain host species, suggesting that they rely on the host ...
