Antheridia - ANSWER ✔✔ Male gametangia that produce sperm
Apical meristems - ANSWER ✔✔ Localized regions of cell division at the tips of roots and shoots where
growth is sustained throughout the plant's life
Archegonia - ANSWER ✔✔ Female gametangia, each of which produce a single egg
Bryophytes - ANSWER ✔✔ Nonvascular plants that do not have an extensive transport system
Cuticle - ANSWER ✔✔ Covering on the epidermis in many species of land plants that acts as
waterproofing anf protection
