19
Q

annulus

A

outer covering of the sporangia containing a special ring of cells

20
Q

fern leafd

A

spots are sori, contain clustesr of sporangia, contain haploid spores from which the gametophyte will develop and produce male and female gametes

21
Q

microspore

A

develops into the pollen grain

22
Q

pollen grain

A

immature male gametophyte which repelaces the internal swimming sperm

23
Q

pollination

A

transfer of male gametophyte to the vicinity of the female gametophyte

24
Q

megaspore

A

megasporangium, located within an ovule , produce a megaspore

25
Q

gymnosperms

A

naked seeds, with no fruits

26
Q

angiosperms

A

enclosed seeds with a fruit

27
Q

gymnosperm

A

have seeds instead of spores, gametophyte has beenr educed to a very small strucutre, which remains entirely on the sporophyte

  • needle like leaves
  • sporophyte is dominant , w/ microsporangia and megasporangia located on scales on two types of cones
28
Q

adaption of gymnosperm

A
  • transfer of pollen by wind and growth fo the pollen tube
  • enclosed female gametophyte is protected
  • embryo is protected by the seed and provided w/ nutrients to support
29
Q

importance gymnosperms

A

supply wood for building and paper manufacturing

30
Q

angiosperms

A

flowering plants, dominant land flora, about 350 000 species, they bear seeds and have fruits

31
Q

angiosperms split into two main classes

A

eudicdotyledons and monocotyledons

32
Q

eudicotyledons

A

woody or herbaceous flowers with flowers in 4,5s , net leaf veins, circular vascular bundles in the stem and 2 cotyledons

33
Q

monocotyledons

A

, always herbaceous, w/flower parts in 3s , parallel leaf veins, scattered vascular bndles in the stem and one cotyledon

34
Q

non-vascualr plants

A

byrophytes, mosses

35
Q

vascular plants

A

seedless vascular: club mosses, ferns
seed-bearing vascular:gymnosperms (confers)
angiosperms(flowering plants

36
Q

algae

A
  • early forms of life found in water
  • many were green and had flagella
  • haploid cells fuse together to produce a resting zygote, after dormancy teh zygote undergoes meiosis and produces 4 new haploid cells
37
Q

examples of algae

A

chlamydomonas- attached to substrate on teh seashore
ulva-sea lettuce, has a flat thallus with a holdfast and often the size of a lettuce leaf
polytrichium- widely distributed moss spores produce in a capsule

38
Q

nonvascular plants (byrophytes)

A

byrophytes
- evolved from ancient group green algae
- lack vascular tissue,, lack true roots, stems, and leaves
instead they have rhizoids, stem like structures and leaf likes structures
-haploid gametophyte generation is dominant
- male gametophyte has antheridia that produce swimming sperm
the female gametophyte has archegonia that produce eggs, two which the sperm siwm through rain
- after fertilization, the female retians teh egg in the archegonium
-the sporophyte develops upon the female gametophyte
-sporophyte has a foot, stalk, a sporangium or capsule

39
Q

adaption of byrophytes

A

non vascular plants generally adapted to live where there is some moisture, since there is no tissue for water support

40
Q

importance byrophytes

A

they colonize rocks, producing soil from them that other organisms can use for growth
sphagnum is peat moss that can absorb water into its nonliving cells and hold it

41
Q

evolutionary trends among vascular plants

A

better conducting system- xylem evolved allowing for rapid water movement and phloem evolved to move sucrose and photosynthetic products from leaves to non-green cells
waxy layer- cut down on water loss by development of a waxy layer on epidermis
gametophyte- lower plants the sporophyte develops on the gametophyte, in higher plants reduction in importance of the gametophyte stage

42
Q

seedless vascular plants (fern allies)

A

club mosses are among the most primitive vascular plants

  • possess conductive tissues but are still simple
  • gametophyte during which sexual reproduction occurs and teh sporophyte in which spore production occurs
  • strobilus or cone is the reproductive organ, where spores are produced
43
Q

ferns

A

most have horizontal stem, (rhizome) from which hairlike roots and large leaves project

  • sporophyte is the dominant generation in a fern plant
  • sporangia develop in groups called sori
  • tiny gametophyte is a heart-shaped prothallus with antheridia and archegonia on the underside
