Ch31 Plant Evolution Flashcards
Photosynthesis Achiotes
Cyanobacteria mats- 1st oxygen producing critters
Archean Eon
Formation of first oceans- shift from Chem to Bio evolution
Banded iron formations tell us
Amounts of oxidization
Primary Endosymbiosis
Joining of a prokaryote to another prokaryote
Secondary Endosymbiosis
One eukaryotic cell engulfs/eats another eukaryote
Brown Algae (Kelp) characteristics (4)
Large structures, hold fast root system, photosynthetic blades, and stipes- an organ of defense
Red algae (Rhodophyte)-(2)
Chemically defended, multicellular
Which algae is closest to terrestrial plants??
Green Algae
Pros (5) and cons (1) of aquatic plants
Water, motile sperm that swim, density (less gravity), and nutrients
Light
Con-predator exposure
Pros (2) and Cons (6) of terrestrial plants
Pros:Pollination, more space
Light and predation (in between)
Cons: nutrients, predator exposure, tissue support, more gravity pull, water loss, and reproduction
Charophytes, Stoneworts, Colueochacts (5)
Algae relative to terrestrial plants, produce cellulose, tough structure(calcium carbonate structure), multicellular, and photosynthetic
Struggles to overcome from aquatic to terrestrial (6)
Water loss, nutrient transport, tissue support, reproduction, UV exposure, access to nutrients
Evolutionary development as result of water loss (2)
Cuticle and stomata
Developments for nutrient transport (2)
Vascular tissues known as tracheids and vessel elements (xylem and phloem)
Developments for Tissue Support (2)
Tracheids and vessel elements
