Q

how are secondary plastids made

A

Q

zygote

A

what the gametes are after fusion. they can either perform meiosis and produce spores (become multicellular) or start mitosis to make progeny

85
Q

how do zygotes become embryos?

A

by being retained by “mom” and going through a series of mitotic divisions

86
Q

gametic (diploid dominant) life cycle

A

“meiosis, then fertilization”
in most animals, some SAR, some fungi, some amoeba
- diploid phase
- meiosis to make haploid phase (gametes)
- fertilization to make diploid zygote
- plasmogamy
- karyogamy
-mitosis to make progeny diploid phase

87
Q

zygotic (haploid dominant) life cycle

A

“fertilization, then meiosis”
in most amoeba, most multicellular SAR, some fungi, most green algae

- plasmogamy
- karyogamy
- meiosis to make progeny haploid phase from meiospores

c-fern and other land plants life style

A

alternation of generations
- haploid phase

Q

dikaryotic life cycle

A

” delay of karyogamy”
- haploid phase
- start of fertilization makes dikaryon
- plasmogamy
- mitosis makes dikaryotic phase
- dikaryotic phase
- end of fertilization makes diploid
- karyogamy
- meiosis to make haploid spores
- mitosis to make progeny haploid phase

  1. move around the cells through the large pores in the wall (apoplastic movement)
  2. move through the cells by using cytoplasmic connections called plasmodesmata (symplastic movement)
203
Q

A

a consequence of adhesion, cohesion, and properties of tubes. decreases the amount of pull needed to move water upwards.

207
Q

how does water get to the tops of trees

A

evaporation of water from leaves leads to increased solute concentration in the mesophyll cells of the leaves. the concentration of ions in the leaves in increased, water from xylem moves into mesophyll cells. this reduces pressure in the xylem, which draws water up.

208
