Question
ve Obtain a Mnium mature sporophyte 1.s. prepared slide. Observe the capsule, or sporangium, of the sporophyte. The capsule is anchored to the gametophyte by a stalk, or seta, and a foot, both of which are also part of the sporophyte. The capsule is covered by a papery hood called a calyptra. Inside of the calyptra is an operculum, the capsule apex. The mouth of the capsule has a ring of toothlike structures called the peristome. During periods of high humidity, the peristome teeth bend inward and close the peristome. During dry periods, they bend out. This bending in and out aids in spore dispersal. (See text Figure 16-26, page 385.) 20. Label the spores on Figure 8 below. Where does n Figure 8. Moss capsule l.s. Photo by Carolyn Alling tophyte?

Now examine an archegonial head and find an archegonium. The moss archegonium has a very long stalk and neck, so it will be difficult to find an entire archegonium in any one section. Look for a long 2-4 cell wide, pink stained structure with a round egg cell amongst the paraphysis. 17. Label the archegonia with the egg cell in Figure 7 below. Figure 7. Mnium archegonial head l.s.
