Q

Developments for reproduction

A

Production of SEED- due to lack of embryonic structure

16
Q

Developments for UV exposure

A

Flavonoids

17
Q

Developments for access to nutrients

A

Soil and mycorrhiza

18
Q

Cuticle

A

Waxy layer around the plant- lipid material-hydrophobic polymer

19
Q

Stomata (3)

A

Formed by two cells, seals up with release of h2o, opens/puckers with water to allow gas exchange

20
Q

Two challenges of taller plants

A

Getting water to elevated tissues and to stabilize and not fall down

21
Q

Tracheids (4)

A

All vascular plants, long/tall, die at maturity, pits lined with lignin

22
Q

Vessel Elements (3)

A

More efficient, barrel like, xylem (h2o transport, dies) + phloem (nutrient transport, alive)

Angiosperms and ghenophyte

23
Q

homosporus plant meaning (1) and examples (2)

A

Only one type of spore

Mosses and ferns

24
Q

Heterosporus meaning and plant type classification

A

Two types of sporangia/spores (archegonia and antheridia)

Angiosperms and gymnosperms

25
Q

Flavonoids

A

Act as sunscreen to protect plant

26
Q

Mycorrhiza

A

Facilitate soil nutrient uptake in plants

27
Q

Evolution of plants (recorded by fossils-4)

A

Green algae
Mosses and liverworts
