BIOL 191 - c25 Flashcards
What distinguish related algae from land plants?
terrestrial adaptations
Streptophytes
plants & closest green algal relatives
Distinctive features of land plants (6)
TAS AGE
- Tissues
- Apical Meristems
- Alternation of life cycle
- Spores
- Gametangia & sporangia
- Embryos
Feature #1 of land plant: TISSUE
lower ___ ratio which ___ water loss to air
lower SA/V ratio which decreases water loss to air
Feature #2 of land plant: Apical Meristems
produce ___ to withstand ___
produce bodies to withstand drought and mechanical stress
Feature #3 of land plant: Alternation of Generation
Gametophyte & Sporophyte
Gametophyte are ___ (ploidy?) that produce ___ by ___
Haploid produces egg/sperm by MITOSIS
SPOROPHYTE are ___ produce ___ by ___
Diploid produce spores by MEIOSIS
What is the difference between GAMETOPHYTE & SPOROPHYTE?
The gametophyte produces haploid spores by mitosis. Whereas, sporophyte produces diploid spores by meiosis
Describe the steps of Life Cycle
Diploid sporophyte –[meiosis]–> haploid spores –[mitosis–> haploid gametophyte —> EGG + SPERM —[fertilization]–> ZYGOTE —[mitosis]–> Diploid sporophyte
Plant fitness is measured by: ___ +____
Spores production & dispersion. Larger diploid generation, more spores are produced
What are Embryophytes?
Land plants
what are foundational feature of embryophytes?
EMBRYOS
What is the function of tough-walled spores?
Allow plants to disperse offspring through DRY AIR
What is the function of Gametangia?
- Specialized structure
- generate, protect, & disperse land plant GAMETES
What is the function of SPORANGIA?
Produce, protect, and disperse land plants SPORES
what is the difference between Gametangia & Sporangia?
Gametangia related to gametes. Whereas Sporangia related to spores.
What 3 phyla belonged to the “Simplest Land Plant” group?
Liverworts, Mosses, Hornworts
Nonvascular plants are ___
Bryophytes
What are Bryophytes called?
nonvascular plants
Characteristics of Bryophytes (6)
- NO clade
- FORM monophyletic phylum (shared common structural, reproductive, and ecological features)
- Small, moist habitats (for sexual reproduction
- CANNOT grow tall (bc of weak conducting tissue)
- Dominant-gametophyte generation
- Sporophyte : small & short-lived
Life cycle of peat moss
Onenote
Seedless vascular plants contain phyla___ +____
Lycophytes & pteridophytes
What do vascular plants possess that provide structural support?
Conduction system
The conduction system contains tissue ___ +___
Xylem & Phloem
4 Characteristics of Seedless Vascular Plants
Roots, stems, leaves, and vascular systems (xylem & phloem)
What is the function of XYLEM?
- has ___ support function
- contain conducting cell called ___
- TISSUE THAT conduct water & minerals throughout plant body
- support function: from LIGNIN
- contain TRACHEIDS: conducting cell
Tracheophytes are ___, ___ and seed-___ vascular plants
Lycophytes, Pteridophytes, & seed-producing vascular plants
What is the function of PHLOEM?
conducts watery sap contain organic materials (sugar)
In DRY habitat, why VASCULAR PLANTS are larger in size and are metabolically active longer than BRYOPHYTES?
Because vascular plants maintain stable internal water content better. [DRY HABITAT]
What features allow vascular plants to maintain internal water content? (3)
- Vascular system
- Waxy Cuticle
- Stomata
what is the function of the Vascular System?
- allow ___, ____, ____ to move to right location
allow H2O, minerals, and sugar
What is the function of CUTICLE? (2)
- PREVENT DRYING
2. DETER PATHOGENS
What is the function of STOMATA?
___ in
___ out
___ in moist condition
CO2 in
O2 out
open when moist
What is the dominant generation in the Lycophytes & pteridophytes (tracheophytes) life cycle?
Diploid sporophyte
The difference in life cycle of Bryophytes & tracheophytes
- which is vascular and which is nonvascular plants?
Bryophytes: gametophyte dominant
Tracheophytes: sporophyte dominant
