(2) are used in alcoholic fermentation
(3) purify the atmosphere
(4) are used in curdling of milk

(1) completely sporophyte
(2) predominatly sporophyte with gametophyte

(2) do not need sunlight for photosynthesis
(3) depend for their nutrition on microorganisms which can survive only at low temperature
(4) cannot compete with sun-loving plants
