Question

5 differences between thallophyta and bryophyta

Answer 1

Thallophyta (Algae):

1. They are mostly aquatic.
2 The thallus consists of a single cell to well developed uniseriate or branched filaments.
3. There is no or ill defined tissue differenti­ation
4. In each cell one or few chloropasts are present. In other cases instead of chloroplasts, the chromatophores are present.
5. The stomata or pores are not present

Bryophyta:

1. Mostly terrestrial and prefer damp and shady places.
2. The thalles is not filamentous except in protonema stage. It is made up of parenchymatous cells.
3. There is well defined tissue differenti­ation.
4. In each chlorophyllous cell many well developed chloroplasts are present.
5. The pores or stomata are present.

Answer 2

Thallophyta
1.There is undifferentiated plant body of thallophyta.
2.It is not developed at all.
3.It is predominantly aquatic or found mostly in water.
4.It has thallus like structures.
5.The small pores present in leaf epidermis or stomata are present.
Examples:-Chara,cladophora,spirogyra etc.
Bryophyta
1.There is differentiated plant body of bryophyta.
2.It is not fully developed but developed more as compared to thallophyta.
3.It is found in land and water both.
4.It has stem like structures,root like structures,and leaf like structures.
5.The small pores present in leaf epidermis or stomata are present.
Ex-Marchantia,riccia,moss etc
