BIO210 Tutorial

This document contains 50 tutorial questions about cryptogams, which are non-seed plants including fungi, mosses, liverworts, hornworts and ferns. The questions cover topics such as defining cryptogams, describing the characteristics and structures of fungi like mycelium and zoospores, explaining the life cycles of yeasts and lichens, comparing classes of cryptogams, and diagramming the life cycles of plants like mosses and ferns. The goal is to test students' understanding of cryptogams, which are an important group of organisms to study.
