Botany Flashcards
1
Q
who was lamark
A
botainst who started to think about relationships between organisms; created breaching diagrams with dichotmous branches
2
Q
homology
A
same trait in different animals under variety of forms and functiosn from a shared ancestor
3
Q
analogy
A
different organs with the same functions of different animals; through convergent and parallele evolution

Q
what do unique homologies do?
A
they defined groups; homologous structure are derived from a sructure in a shared common ancestor

25
where does photosynthesis occur
in organelles (chloroplats) derived from symbiotic cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)
26
what is endosymbiosis
one organism inside another that tells us about shared lineae (red algae, green algae and land plants)
27
primary endosymbiosis?
(a prokaryote [cyanobacteria] and a heterotrophic eukaryote);
LARGE scale gene transfer
occured only once
28
secondary endosymbiosis?
product of the first endosymbiosis was enguled by another free living eukaryote
(eukaryote + eukaryote)
it occurred several times and resulted in diverse species
29

alternative syscles between diploid and haploid phase
52
diploid phase
sporophyte
53
haploid phase
haploid spores
54
bryophtes and gametes
are paraphyletic
spend most of the time as gametophytes
a. halpiod (gameotphyte)
b. reproduce by spores that germinate into arctegonia (female) and antheridia (male)
55
vascular plants and gametes
spend most of the time as sporophytes
56
bryophtes
'constructures of terrestial ecosystems'
the first land plants
consist of mosses, liver worts and horworts
dont have vascular tissue such as lignin or roots
structures are thalloid )flate plates) or foliose (leafy)
57
liverworts
rhizoid (root like structure)
membrane bound oil bodies with isoprenoids
sperms with two flagallea
water needed for fertilization
2 main groups are thannoild or leafy
smell nice as they secret aromatic oils
58
mosses
leaves are one cell thick and attached to substrate with rhizoids
sphorophyte (diploid) usually on stalk and capsule is filled with spores
spores can be projected at great distances up to 20 cm
peat is ecologically regulating and often includes mosses
59
hornworts
horn-shaped sporophyte
gametophyte is thalloid
the most ancient bryophte lineare
have a symbiotic relationship with cyanobacteria and hycorhizal fungi
60
VASCULAR PLANTS PROPERTIES
- possess microphylis
spore reproduction and sporophyte is main plant body
vascular tissue
61
microphylis
small leaves analogous to megaphylis of other vascular plants
62
vascular tissue
phloem (conducts sugars produce from photosynthesis from leaves to rest of plant; is a two way flow with pored walls)
xylem (conducts water from soil and roots to leaves where photosynthesis takes place and trasnrpiration occurs; trecheids and vessen elements are lignified dand strong)
63
lycophyes
posses microphyliis and reproduce by spores
sporophyte is main body
```
endosymbiotic relationships with fungi
used to be mroe diverse but today mostly exitinct
3 groups;
lyycopods (flammable spores)
quill worts
sealinnelles
```
64
ferns and horsetails
- not thought relatve before dna sequencing!
- gametophyte is haploid
- sporophyte id iploid
- most of life cycle is sporopohyte, unlike bryiphyte
reoroduce by spores, not seeds
mostly sporophyte but gametophytes are free living and photosynthestic
two kinds of gern;
a, eusporangiate; spored fused into syangia
b. leptosporoangiate; spores are under indusia [flaps] or in individual sporangis
65
gymnosperms

HUGE vines
69
angiosperms
flowering seed plants that have relationships with insects and othe rpollinators
have flowers and hidden seeds
are vascular plants with xylem
flowers and fruit facilitiate pollination and dispersion for further development
have ovules that hold the 'seeds' and a carpel (which developts into fruit)
they appeared super fast and in large quantaities; diversified 135 mya
have a million species
origianted in early creatacous
3 main groups are ana grade, monocots and educiots tha
70
monocots
```
monophyletic;
once cotyledon from germinating seeds
flower parts are in threes
parallel veins in elaves
scattered vascular
fivrous roots
```
eg. lillies, palm trees and ocrhids, and grasses (rice, wehat and maize); economic and ecologically diverse
71
dicots
```
not monophyletic; are part of ana grade and eudicots
two cotyledons
flower parts in fours or fives
net like veings
ringed bascular
```
have tap roots
72
ana grade
'basal angiosperms'; evolve from common ancestor to angio sperms on different lineage than eudicots and monocots
Amborella, Nymphaeales and Austrobaileyales
Amborella (a single species of shrub from New Caledonia), Nymphaeales (water lilies, together with some other aquatic plants) and Austrobaileyales (woody aromatic plants including star anise).[1]
73
eudicots
most angiosperms!
| two monphyletic lineages; the rosids and aseterids
74
water lillies and sacred lotus case
waterlillies (nympircae) are actually ANA grade and the sacred lotus (nelumbo) is actually a eudicot!
both have floating leaves and many petals but gene sequencing shows they are genetically different, while morpholoically similar
classic analogous features case!
75
gingko
ginko are living fossis of the gymnosperm; only living member of its order; sued to be mroe diverse and thought extinct untill its disvoer in china in the 19th century; are motile sperm and smelly fruit full of butyrid acid
