Chapter 3 : Plant Kingdom Flashcards
What are the kingdoms in the five kingdom classification and who made this classification and when?
RH Whittaker 1969
monera , protista , fungi , plantae and animalia
What were the conditions of the earliest classification?
gross morphology
like habitat , colour and number and shape
What type of classification was Linneuas classification? What was one of its special charecteristics? Why is it not acceptable?
artificial classification
equal weitage to both vegetative and sexual charecters
because it have equal importance to vegetative charecters as it can change easily with environment
What are the charecters taken into account in natural classificaiton ?
their natural affinites
external and internal features like anatomy, structure, embryology and phytochemistry
What is the present phylogenetic classificaiton systme based on ?
evolutionary relationship between the various organism
What is the numerical taxonmy based on ?
each charecter is given a certain code and then they are porcessed in a computer
What is cehmotaxonomy and cytotaxonomy based on ?
chemotaxonomy : it is based on the chemical produced by the plants like resin
cytotaxonomy :based on the chemical constituents of hte plant
What is the habitat of algae?
chlorophyll thalloid organism , autotrophic and large aquatic organism
they occur in variety of habitat such as moist soilds , wood and sone in association with fungi , animals
Give an examples of colonial and filamentous algae?
volvox - colonial
filamentous spirogyra and ulthorix
How does vegetative , asexual and sexual reproduction take place in algae?
vegetative : fragmentaiton
asexual : commonly zoospores
sexual : isogamous, anisogamous , oogamous
In which organisms are called isogamous , anisogamous and oogamous?
isogamous: ulthorix (motile), spirogyra(non motile)
anisogamous : eudorina
oogamous : volvox and fucus

laminarin and mannitol
floridean starch
In which organism are the pyrenoids present and how ?
the pyrenoids are present in chlorphyceae
it is protein coated by starch and are located in the chloroplast
How is the cell wall arranged in case of green algae?
inner cellulose
and outer pectose
How deos vegetative , asexual and sexual reproduction take place in cholorophyceae?
vegetative : fragmentation
asexual : by zoopores from zoosporangia
sexual : isogamous , anisogamous , oogamous
What is the type of sexual organs in all types of algae?
unicellular non jacketed sex organs
except in chara (antheridium and oognium)
Where are the brown alge comonly present?
in marine habitat
