Q

The life cycle of plants is characterized by

A

Alternation of generations. - 1) Gametophyte generation : all the cells of the plant body are haploid (n).
2) Sporophyte generation : the cells of the plant body are diploid.

Q

Bryophytes

A
  • Lack transport vessels ( xylem and phloem) and absorb water by diffusion from the air.
  • Their flagellated sperm must swim through water to fertilize an egg.
  • Also lack any lignin-fortified tissue that supports a tall plant.
  • Restricted to moist habitats and are tiny.
  • Grow on rocks, soil and trees.
  • Sphagnum or peat moss is used as fuel in much of the world.

Q

Tracheophytes

A
  • With vascular tissue.
  • Xylem and phloem for transport
  • Lignified transport vessels to support the plant
  • Roots to absorb water while also anchoring and supporting the plant
  • Leaves that increase the photosynthetic surface
  • Life cycle with a dominant sporophyte generation.
    1) Gymnosperms
    2) Angiosperms

Q

Ferns - Seedless plants

A
  • Seedless tracheophytes. Primitive plants.
  • Reproduce by spores instead of by seeds.
  • Homosporous - they produce only one type of spore which then develops into a bisexual gametophyte.
  • restricted to moist habitats.
  • Their sperm are flagellated and must swim from the antheridium to the archegonium to fertilize the egg.

Q

Seed plants

A

Heterosporous. produce two kinds of spores.- Megaspores and microspores.
Megaspores- develop into female gametophytes.
Microspores - develop into male gametophytes.
Teh sperm of seed plants have no flagella and do not require a watery environment in order for fertilization to occur. Two types of seed plants, gymnosperms and angiosperms.

Q

Gymnosperms : Conifers

A

First seed plants to appear on Earth. The seed of gymnosperm - naked, because they are not enclosed inside a fruit as are seed in angiosperms.- form cones.

  • Dry environment.: needle- shaped leaves. have a thick, protective cuticle and a relatively small surface area.
  • Depend on wind for pollination.
  • Ex) gymnosperms are pines, firs, redwoods, junipers and sequoia.

Q

Vascular bundles in stem - Monocots and Dicots

A

Monocots: Scattered
Dicots: In a ring

17
Q

Leaf venation

A

Monocots: Parallel
Dicots: Netlike

18
Q

Floral parts

A

Monocots: Usually in 3s
Dicots: Usually in 4s or 5s

19
Q

Roots

A

Monocots: Fibrous roots
Dicots: Taproots

20
Q

Strategies that enabled plants to move to land

A

Cell Walls: made of cellulose lend support to the plant whose cells, unsupported by a watery environment, must maintain their own shape.

21
Q

Roots and root hairs (enabled plants to move to land)

A

absorb water and nutrients from the soil

22
Q

Somates (enabled plants to move to land)

A

open to exchange photosynthetic gases and close to minimize excessive water loss

23
Q

Cutin (enabled plants to move to land)

A

the waxy coating on the leaves. Helps prevents excess water loss from the leaves

24
Q

Gametangia (enabled plants to move to land)

A

In some plants, gametes and zygotes form within a protective jacket of cells called gametangia. prevents drying out.

25
Q

Sporopollenin

A

a tough polymer. is resistant to almost all kinds of environmental damage and protects plants in a harsh terrestrial environment. Found in the walls of spores and pollen.

26
Q

Seeds and pollen

A

Have a protective coat that prevents desiccation. (건조) a means of dispersing offspring.

27
Q

Primary and secondary growth

A

plants continue to grow as long as they live because they contain tissue called meristem that continually divides and generates new cells.

28
Q

Meristem

A

Continually divides and generates new cells.

29
Q

The enlongation of the plant down into the soil and up into the air

A

Primary growth.

30
Q

The source of primary growth

A

Apical meristem at the tips of the roots and in the buds of shoots.

31
Q

Lateral meristem

A

provides secondary growth. which is increase in girth. (둘레)

32
Q

Plants that have only primary growth

A

In herbaceous (nonwoody)

33
Q

Plants that secondary growth is responsible for the gradual thickening of the roots and shoots formed from earlier primary growth

A

In woody plants.

34
Q

Three types of Plant tissue

A

Dermal tissue, Vascular tissue, and ground tissue.

35
Q

Dermal tissue

A

covers and protects the plant. includes epidermis and modified cells like guard cells, root hairs and cells that produce a waxy cuticle.

36
Q

Vascular tissue

A

consists of xylem and phloem. Transport water and nutrients around the plant.

37

A
