What are the factors that contributed to the success of pteridophyte as land plant

Two factors contributed to the success of the pteridophytes: the extreme miniaturization of the gametophytic generation and an important development of the sporophytic generation (development of the tree forms).

Pteridophytes are a group of plants that peaked in the Carboniferous (-300 million years). It is the first great terrestrial plant civilization. These plants would have appeared in the Devonian -400 million years ago, perhaps from certain primitive terrestrial plants which, unlike bryophytes, would have favored the diploid generation on the haploid generation.

Particularly well adapted to terrestrial life, they have created, thanks to the development of tree forms, immense forests whose fossilization is at the origin of coal deposits.

Pteridophytes are at the origin of an evolutionary lineage based on the extreme miniaturization of gametophytic generation and an important development of sporophytic generation, leading to all tracheophytes including current flowering plants. Pteridophytes are well adapted to terrestrial life, however fertilization still requires the presence of water since male gametes are swimmers.

polet [3.4K]
During exercise there is an increase in physical activity and muscle cells respire more than they do when the body is at rest. The heart rate increases during exercise. The rate and depth of breathing increases - this makes sure that more oxygen is absorbed into the blood, and more carbon dioxide is removed from it.

Community ecologists study the factors that determine the abundance of different species. The Abundance of three algae species (
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The abundance of three algal species in Lake A is now represented by the vectors:

[97, 84, 43] and [100, 80, 50]

Now if we look at Lake A, the change occurring in the vector of algae species can be determined as:

a = [100 -97, 80 - 84. 50 - 43]

a = [3, -4, 7]

Thus, the magnitude of that change is:

|a| = \sqrt{(3)^2 +(-4)^2+(7)^2}

|a| = \sqrt{9+16+49}

|a| = \sqrt{74}

|a| =8.6 \ mg/mL

The abundance of three algal species in Lake B is now represented by the vectors:

[25, 59, 22] and [20, 63, 15]

At Lake B, the change occurring in the vector of algae species can be determined as:

b = [20 -23, 63 - 59. 15 - 22]

b = [-3, -4, -7]

Thus, the magnitude of that change is:

|b| = \sqrt{(-3)^2 +(4)^2+(-7)^2}

|b| = \sqrt{9+16+49}

|b| = \sqrt{74}

|b| =8.6 \ mg/mL

Hence, for both Lake A and B, the magnitude of change is the same.
