The move to land had challenges that needed to be overcome, but the reward was great. Match each taxa (group) to the correct adaptation that taxa acquired to meet the challenges of life on land. Presence of a thing cuticle to resist drying out, produce spores, but no vascular system. Fungi Developed a chitin cell wall, produce spores, excrete digestive enzymes into their environment and absorb nutrients. Gymnosperms and Angiosperms Moss (Bryophytes) Have internal organs such as lungs rather than external organs such as gills. Developed weight-bearing limbs. Animals Presence of a vascular system, microscopic gametophyte, have substantial roots, and produce seeds. Ferns Presence of a vascular system, reduced gametophyte, produce spores.

Question
### Adaptations for Life on Land The transition to terrestrial life required various adaptations to overcome environmental challenges. Match each taxa (group) to the correct adaptation that they acquired to thrive in terrestrial habitats. 1. **Presence of a thin cuticle to resist drying out, produce spores, but no vascular system.** - **Answer: Moss (Bryophytes)** 2. **Developed a chitin cell wall, produce spores, excrete digestive enzymes into their environment and absorb nutrients.** - **Answer: Fungi** 3. **Have internal organs such as lungs rather than external organs such as gills. Developed weight-bearing limbs.** - **Answer: Animals** 4. **Presence of a vascular system, microscopic gametophyte, have substantial roots, and produce seeds.** - **Answer: Gymnosperms and Angiosperms** 5. **Presence of a vascular system, reduced gametophyte, produce spores.** - **Answer: Ferns**
