BRYOPHYES DIVER Flashcards
WHAT ARE BRYOPHYTES
bryophytes are the simplest and most primitive non vascular land plants
The name bryophyte is derived from 2 words BRYON meaning MOSS and PHYTON meaning plant
Characteristics of plants
members of plant kingdom are more complex and varied in form than those of other kingdoms.
WHAT ARE PLANT TISSUES SPECIALIZE IN
Plant tissues are specialized in photosynthensis conduction support anchorage protection
DO PLANTS AND ALGAE HAVE SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS
yes plants share a number of common characteristics with green algae which suggest that plants descended either from a remote common ancestor of the green algae that sucessfully invaded terrestrial habitat
WHAT ARE PLANTS PRIMARY PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENT
plants primary photosynthetic pigment is called chlorophyll a
WHAT ARE PLANTS ACCESORY PIGMENTS
plants accesory pigment are called ‘‘chlorophyll b and carotenoids’’
DO BRYOPHYTES HAVE A WELL DEVELOPED ALTERNATION OF HETEROMORPHIC GENERATIONS??
yES bryophytes have a well develop alternation of heteromorphic generation
WHAT CONSTITUTE THE HETEROMORPHIC ALTERNATION OF GENERATION
. sporophyte/gametophyte). This type of life cycle
is common among the living members of the Plant Kingdom.
* The sporophyte is the generation which produces spores which
germinate into the gametophyte. The gametophyte is the
generation which produces male and female sex cells (gametes)
which, during sexual reproduction, fuse into a zygote. The latter
develops into a sporophyte
what is sporophyte generation
The sporophyte is the generation which produces spores which
germinate into the gametophyte
what is gametophyte
The gametophyte is the
generation which produces male and female sex cells (gametes)
WHAT DOES GAMETES PRODUCE IN GAMETOPHYTE GENERATION produces
The gametophyte is the
generation which produces male and female sex cells (gametes)
which, during sexual reproduction, fuse into a zygote. The zygote
develops into a sporophyte
WHAT DOES GAMETES PRODUCE IN GAMETOPHYTE GENERATION produces
The gametophyte is the
generation which produces male and female sex cells (gametes)
which, during sexual reproduction, fuse into a zygote. The zygote
develops into a sporophyte
WHAT DOES GAMETES PRODUCE IN GAMETOPHYTE GENERATION produces
The gametophyte is the
generation which produces male and female sex cells (gametes)
which, during sexual reproduction, fuse into a zygote. The zygote
develops into a sporophyte
WHAT DOES GAMETES PRODUCE IN GAMETOPHYTE GENERATION produces
The gametophyte is the
generation which produces male and female sex cells (gametes)
which, during sexual reproduction, fuse into a zygote. The zygote
develops into a sporophyte
WHAT DOES GAMETES PRODUCE IN GAMETOPHYTE GENERATION produces
The gametophyte is the
generation which produces male and female sex cells (gametes)
which, during sexual reproduction, fuse into a zygote. The zygote
develops into a sporophyte
