25
Q

Bryophytes lack vascular tissue but have certain adaptations that made a terrestrial existence such as?

A

Waxy cuticle

26
Q

What is the male and female gametangium of bryophytes.

A

Male - antheridium

Female - archegonium

27
Q

Why do mosses live in shady moist habitats?

A

lack vascular tissue to absorb water

28
Q

What class of nonvascular plant has lobbed shape bodies?

A

Heptophyta (liverworts)

29
Q

How do heptophyta reproduce?

A

gemmae which are dispersed with rain

30
Q

______ (______) resemble liverworts but have horn-shaped sporophyte stage.

A

Antherocerophyta (hornworts)

31
Q

What phylum has the most species for vascular seedless plants?

A

Pterophyta (ferns)

32
Q

In vascular seedless plants, the ______ stage is more dominant than the ______ stage.

A

sporophyte, gametophyte

33
Q

True or False: Psilophyta (whiskferns) lack true roots and leaves, have rhizomes which are underground stems covered with rhizoid hairs.

A

True

34
Q

True or False: In lycophyta (club mosses), sporangia of Lycopodium are borne on sporophylls, leaves specialized for reproduction.

A

True

35
Q

True or False: In lycophyta (club mosses), the gametophyte stage is conspicuous and develops above ground.

A

False, inconspicuous and develops underground.

36
Q

True or False: In lycophyta (club mosses), heterosporous, the megaspores develop into female gametophytes bearing archegonia and the microspores develop into male gametophytes bearing antheridia.

A

True

37
Q

What physical characteristic does Sphenophyta (horsetails) have?

A

Silia in the epidermal cells to give them a glassy texture

38
Q

Why were horsetails formerly called scouring rush?

A

glassy texture made them useful for scrubbing pots and pans

39
Q

True or False: Ferns do not have a large sporophyte stage.

A

False, sporophyte stage is large

40
Q

______ are the leaves of ferns

A

fronds

41
Q

______ is the underside of fern leaves and hold spores.

A

Sorus

42
Q

What phylum of gymnosperms (vascular seed plants) has the most species?

A

Coniferophyta

43
Q

What is the oldest conifer and he largest confer?

A 
older = bristlecone
largest = redwood
44
Q

Why do conifers produce cone shaped seeds?

A

Helps protect the seed.

45
Q

What’s the function of needles on conifers.

A

adapt them to dry habitats

46
Q

True or False: Conifers are monecious.

A

True

47
Q

Do conifers produce true seeds?

A

Yes, consist of developing embryo, nutrient supply, and protective seed coat.

48
Q

How many species on anthophyta (flowering plants) are there?

A

240 000

49
Q

True or False: Angiosperms are extremely important providing all of our fruits and vegetables, and providing medicines, fiber, perfumes, and decorations.

A

True

50
Q

Are angiosperms the most dominant form of plant life on earth?

A

Yes

51
Q

______ consisting of sepals that protect the flower

A

calyx

52
Q

______ consisting of petals to attract pollinators

A

corolla

53
Q

______ are male pollen production organs, filament and anther

A

stamen

54
Q

______ are female pollen production organs, stigma, style, ovary

A

carpel

55
Q

______ holds the megasporangium and female gametophyte which produces an egg; the ovule later becomes the seed.

A

Ovule

56
Q

______ is the enlarged base of the pistil, which forms the fruit.

A

Ovary

57
Q

______ is the transfer of pollen from microsporangium to female gametophyte

A

Pollination

58
Q

______ is the fusion of sperm nucleus with egg nucleus.

A

Fertilization

59
Q

What are the four trends of angiosperm evolution?

A
  1. Number of floral parts has been reduced
  2. Floral parts have become fused
  3. Symmetry has changed from radial to bilateral
  4. Ovary has dropped to a position below the petals and sepals (inferior) where the flowers are better protected
