Chapter 7: Plants Flashcards
2 algal groups
chlorophytes & charophytes
land plants
bryophytes, tracheophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, angiosperms
chlorophytes
green algae
charophytes
ancestor of all land plants; evolutionary link between water and land plants
bryophytes
seedless, non-vascular
tracheophytes
vascular; ferns, gymnosperms, angiosperms
ferns
seedless (spores)
gymnosperms
seeds (pine trees and relatives)
angiosperms
seeds and flowers (flowering plants)
Tissue Types
dermal, ground, vascular
dermal includes…
cuticle, epidermis, guard cells & stomata, trichomes, root hairs
dermal
skin; one cell layer thick
cuticle
thin layer of wax
stomata
open (CO2 comes in and water is lost outside); closed (nothing goes on with CO2 and water stays in plant)
Ground Tissue
parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma
vascular tissue
xylem & phloem
xylem
brings water and nutrients up from roots
phloem
brings things down and around
shoot apical meristems
top of plant
