Question

Starting with spore dispersal, and identify adaptations in the life cycle of the bryophyte for living in a terrestrial environment (ie, in air, without water surrounding the plant body). What are new stresses associated with living on land, and what morphological or physiological features did the first land plants have to evolve to cope with these stresses

Answer 1

Stresses such as lack of nutrients, space, competition and water availability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lack of nutrients, space, competition and water availability are the stresses that the bryophyte can experience by living on land. The morphological or physiological features such as lowering transpiration rate by stomata, attain specialized structures to collect sunlight and fulfill water requirement by absorbing water from the air if no water is available in the soil etc are the features that the plant has to attain to cope with these stresses.
