ch 14 Plants Flashcards
kingdom plants that can photosynthesize are part of
Kingdom Plantae
what are the cell walls of plant cells made of and what does it do?
Cellulose and exhibit Indeterminate Growth - NO FINAL FORM
general Challenges plants faced moving onto land
Desiccation - drying out without water
Overcoming Gravity - needs to somehow maintain structure
Deliver Sperm in different ways - cannot rely on water anymore
Protect its Gametes from drying out
What are the advantages for land plants?
Sunlight - photosyn
-CO2 - photosyn
- not many herbivores existed back then so survived longer
How did plants overcome land challenges
- lived in MOIST environments
- grew more tolerant to drought - like sphagnum moss
- colonized high humid area
name the FOUR major Terrestrial Adaptations plants did
- Alternation of Generations
- Sporangia in Seedless Plants
- Gametangia in Seedless Plants
- Apical Meristems
alternation of generations in plants
has both a HAPLOID and DIPLOID stage
multicellular organism
- Hap Stage = Gametophyte, produces gametes thru mitosis
Dip Stage = Sporophyte, produces spores thru meisis
sporangia in seedless plants
when the Sporophyte produces sporgania and hold it in a sac to then disperse into environment
- land plants r Homospory cuz it has one type of spore
Sporopollnin
tough polymer thick, cell wall which is resistant to degradtion to sruvive and fertilzize
Gametangia in seedless plants
the gametes on the seedless plants
Antheridiium = male w sperm
Archegonium = fem w egg
apical meristems
shoots and roots increase in length thru lotta cell division
what did Vascular Tissue allow when plants adapted more
-taller plants evolved this
-gave structural support
- moved water,minerals and nutrients
- waterproof cuticles prevented water loss
- Stomata allowed for passing oc Co2 and O2
Are Bryophytes Vascular?
No
name Bryophytes and do they live in moist environments?
liverworts
hornworts
mosses
NEED TO LIVE IN MOIST OR WET ENVIRONS
are Tracheophytes Vascular?
Yes
