Q

What do mosses and ferns sperm cells have in common?

A

They are flagellated that are dependent on external water for fertilization, also require the gameotophyte to remaind small in order for the sperm to swim from antherium to archegonium

Q

2 types of seed plants

A

Gymnosperms and angiosperms

24
Q

4 groups of gymnosperms

A

Cycads, Ginkgos, Conifers, Gnetophytes

25
Gymnosperms are ____ seed plants
naked
26
Vegetative Organs in angiosperms
1. roots 2. stems 3. leaves
27
Reproductive organs in angiosperms
1. flowers 2. seeds 3. fruits
28
Cotyledons
embryonic seed leaves
29
Leaf venation
vascular tissue (veins) form patterns in leaves
30
Vascular bundle and what they include
groups of food and water conducting cells that run lengthwise throughout the stem (phloem, xylem and fiber)
31
Xylem, Phloem, Pith
internal tissue of roots, stems, and leaves
32
xylem
water conducting cells
33
phloem
food conducting cells
34
Pith
nondescript, tissue that fills in internal spaces of some roots and stems
35
tracheid
xylem that conducts water and minerals through the pits
36
Vessel Elements
xylem that conducts water and minerals through pits and end walls
37
Sieve tube elements
phloem that conducts dissolved sucrose and other organic compounds through sieve plates
38
Companion cells
phloem that transfers materials into and out of sieve elements
39
Vascular cylinder
single group of vascular tissue extending lenghtwise in roots
40
Secondary growth
woody tissues in plants
41
Herbaceous
plants that never develop woody tissue
42
Flower parts
Petal, sepal, carpel, stamen
43
Male reproductive parts include the:
stamen (anther and filament)
44
Female reproductive parts include:
Carpel (stigma, style, ovule and ovary)
45
2/3 of angiosperms are
dicots
46
8 monocot characteristics
-one cotyledon -linear leaves -parallel leaf venation -vascular bundles scattered -fibrous roots -flower parts 3's -herbaceous -pith center vascular cylinder
47
8 Dicot (eudicot) characteristics
-two cotyledons -broad leaves -branched or netted venation -vascular bundles in ring -tap roots -flower parts 4's or 5's -woody or herbaceous -star-shaped vascular cylinder
48
What is unique to angiosperms?
Double-fertilization
49
How does double-fertilization work?
the pollen-tube releases two sperm nuclei, one fertilized the egg which forms a zygote (2n), the other fertilizes two haploid polar nuclei, forming a triploid endosperm
50
Where does the fruit develop from in angiosperms?
The ovary
51
How many acres of land are being cleared in the tropics per year?
55000 km2
