Chapter 29-30 Flashcards
________________ multicellular autotrophic terrestrial eukaryotes
plants
plants move to land occurred
488 mya years ago
benefits of plant movement to terrestrials
- unfiltered sunlight
- more CO2
- lack of support
challenges of plant movement to land
- scarcity of water
- lack of support
______________ are above ground structures that obtain light and CO2 from atmosphere
shoots
shoots consist of ______________
leaves and stems
leaves contain lignin and cell walls to keep shoot supported
leaves are photosynthetic organs elevated by stems
leaves possess ___________ to take in CO2
stomata
leaves are cover by a _________________ to prevent dehydration
waxy cuticle
_____________ below ground structures obtain water and inorganic nutrients from soil
roots
roots are symbiotically associated with _______________________________
fungi, mycorrhizae
roots anchor plants to their
substrate
_____________ located at the tips of shoots and roots
-regions of cell division that enables the plant to continually grow upward into the air or downward into the soil
apical meristems
___________ conducting tubes that run throughout the shoots and roots connecting them internally
vascular tissue
__________ transports water and minerals up from roots
Xylem
___________ transports photosynthates or sugars from the leaves to the rest of plant
phloem
all plants possess ____________________ sexual life cycle
alternations of generations
plants alternated between two multicellular generations
sporophyte and gametophyte
________________ diploid generations
sporophytes
____________________ haploid generations
gametophyte
sporocytes and spores are produced and protected with the ______________
sporangia
spore cells are surrounded by a wall of _________________ to prevent desiccation
sporopollenin
there are separate _____________________
male and female gametangia and gametes
female gametangia are called ____________ they produce female gametes, _____________
archegonia
egg
male gametangia are called _________________ they produce male gametes _______
antheridia
sperm
gametes are produce within _________
gamatangia
sperm are released from the antheridia and dispersed by ___________
water. Sperm swims to egg which never leaves the archegonia
__________ occurs in the archegonia. The zygote and embryonic sporophyte develope in the archegonia also.
fertilization
later plant group evolved additional reproductive striations like:
- flowers
- seeds
- pollen
- fruits
the gametophyte generation is _______________
- dominant
- photosynthetic
- larger
the sporophyte generation is _________________
- less prominent
- smaller
- not photosynthetic and therefore dependent on gametophyte
all nonvascular plants possess a _______________________ however none posses vascular tissue, shots, roots, login, seeds, roots, or flowers
cuticle
nonvascular plants are found in ___________________
moist habitats because male gametes travel through water, and growth is near ground
- liverworts
- no stomata instead pores
hepaticophyta
- hornwarts
- first plants to possess stomata
anthocerophyta
- mossess
- the largest group of non vascular plants
bryophyta
in seedless vascular plants
the sporophyte generation is now dominant
-larger and photosynthetic
in seedless vascular plants
the gametophyte generation is less prominent
-smaller and photosynthetic free living
_________________ all possess vascular tissue shoots roots, apical meristems and lignin they grow larger than nonvascular plants
seedless vascular plants
seedless vascular plants still lack _____________________ constrained to water for reproduction
seeds pollen and flowers
during the _________ seedless vascular plants formed first forests
carboniferous period
fossil fuels ____________ are all fossilized remains of these ancient plants
coil oil and gas
- club moss
- located in stroboli
lycophyta
