| An ecological relationship between organisms of two different species that live together in direct and intimate contact. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is a relationship in which one organism-the host- is the source of food and/or shelter for another organism the parasite. In this relationship benifits go to the parasite; the host is harmed by the relationship. |

|
Term
|
Definition
| The informal name for nonvascular plants. Bryon means "moss" and phyton means "plant". They are not monophyletic and form a clade. They share some derived traits with vascular plants, such as multicellular embryos and apical meristems, while lacking many innovations of vascular plants, such as roots and true leaves. Consist of all nonvascular plants-liverworts, hornworts, and mosses (most common). |

| Has a protective covering enclosing the embryo and its stored food. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Almost all seeds have some type of stored food for the embryo to use as it emerges from the seed during germination. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| All seed plants produce pollen grains. Pollen Grains serve as carriers for sperm. As a benefit of pollen production, the sperm of seed plants do not need free water to swim to the egg. Thus Seed plants can produce in harsh climates where non-seed plants are much less successful. |
