This is because twenty-four latitude lines were chosen so that 24 hours represents a 360 revolution around the planet. As earth spins on its axis, different places receive sunlight at different times. Each day goes from morning to night as earth turns because the earth spins from west to east therefore the day moves from east to west. Lines of longitude help us keep track of time differences from place to place. Mapmakers divided earths 360 degrees of longitude by 24 hours which results to 15, the time changes by one hour every 15 degrees. It is one hour earlier every 15 degrees of longitude to the west and it is one hour later every 15 degrees of longitude to the east.

Which best describes the life cycles of moss and angiosperm?
jonny [76]

Ans. Option (IV).

Mosses can be defined as non-vascular, flowerless plants that are found in shady or damp regions and reproduce via haploid spores. During reproduction in moss, haploid male gametes or spores are released into surrounding environment that fuse with female spores to form zygote that develop into mature sporophyte.

Angiosperms are vascular, flowering plants that reproduce by seeds. During reproduction in angiosperms, haploid male gametes or pollen grains are released into surrounding environment that fuse with female gametes or eggs to form zygote that develop into seed.

Thus, the correct answer is option (IV).
