Give two characteristics and one example for each of the following:

1. Algae
2. Fungi
3. Monocot
4. Dicot
5. Bryophyta
6. Pteridophyta
7. Gymnosperms

1. Two characteristics of Algae are:
   1. They are aquatic in habitat.
   2. They have chlorophyll and hence they are autotrophs.
      Example — Spirogyra
2. Two characteristics of Fungi are:
   1. Body is composed of thread like structure called hyphae.
   2. Chlorophyll is absent and they show heterotrophic nutrition.
      Example — Agaricus (Mushroom)
3. Two characteristics of Monocot are:
   1. Seeds have a single cotyledon.
   2. Leaves have parallel venation and roots are fibrous.
      Example — Maize
4. Two characteristics of Dicot are:
   1. Seeds have two cotyledons.
   2. Leaves with reticulate venation and roots show tap root system.
      Example — Pea
5. Two characteristics of Bryophyta are:
   1. They have leaves and stems but no roots.
   2. They have root like structure known as rhizoids.
      Example — Moss
6. Two characteristics of Pteridophyta are:
   1. They have well formed leaves, stems and roots.
   2. They do not produce flowers and seeds.
      Example — Fern
7. Two characteristics of Gymnosperm are:
   1. Flowers and fruits are absent.
   2. Bear naked seeds which are not enclosed in a fruit.
      Example — Pine
