2. Plants follow a reproduction pattern called alternate generations. Explain the two processes in alternate generations.

Alternation of generations is a type of life cycle by which species alternate haploid (n) and diploid (2n) individuals.

Explanation:

Alternation of generations refers to the life cycle observed in terrestrial plants by which species alternate between haploid (i.e., organisms having a single set of chromosomes) and diploid (2n, i.e., organisms having a single set of chromosomes) generations. Plants alternate between a sporophytic stage and a haploid gametophytic stage. This alternation of generations is accompanied by the alternation between sexual reproduction, where the fusion of male and female gametes from the gametophyte generation produces a diploid zygote that develops into the sporophyte, and asexual reproduction, where spores (generated in the sporangium of the diploid sporophyte) are released and germinate into new individuals.

explanation:

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
