Exam 3 Flashcards
What are Similarities between plants and Charophytes
- share same ancestor
- multicell organisms
- photoautotrophic
What is a difference between plants and charophytes
plant cell walls contain cellulose (not in algae)
What opportunities did colonizing the land bring?
- unlimited sunlight
- abundant CO2
- initially, few pathogens/herbivores
What were some disadvantages for moving up to land?
Maintaining Moisture
Supporting their body
Obtaining resources
Adaptation: How do plants maintain moisture?
- land plants have a waxy cuticle and cells that open and close the stomata
- bring carbon in and letting waste and water out
Adaptation: How do plants support their body?
lignin helps plants support their body against the pull of gravity
Adaptation: How do plants obtain resources
- on land, plants obtain water and minerals from roots in the soil
- CO2 from the air and sunlight through leaves in the air
vascular system
a network that moves resources throughout the plant
xylem
- consists of dead cells
- conveys water and minerals
- from the root to the shute
- moving up
phloem
- consists of living cells
- conveys sugars
- from the shute to everything that’s not green
Nonvascular Plant Phyla (Bryophytes)
Bryophyta
Hepatophyta
Anthocerophyta
Seedless Vascular Plants
Lycophytes
Monilophytes
Gymnosperm Phyla
Cycadophyta
Gingkophyta
Gnetophyta
Coniferophyta
Mitosis
Cells make exact copies of themselves
Meiosis
ploidy will divide in half
Fertilization
cells make new cell with double
- Phyte
Plant/Plant-Like
Sporophyte is the only ____ lifestage
Diploid
Complete flowers
have male and female parts in the same flower
sepals
green bottom leaves that enclose the flower before it blooms
not gender specific
petals
bright colored leaves that attract animal pollinators
not gender specific
stamens consists of…
Filament & Anther (Male parts)
filament
holds up anther
anther
Where pollen is made
carpels consists of…
stigma, style, & ovary (female parts)
stigma
sticky for pollination
style
where sperm travels down
ovary
where fertilization occurs
Seed dispersal Mechanisms
- natural elements (water/wind)
- hitching ride on animals
- ingestion
Fruits
- ripened ovaries of flowers
- adaptations that protect and disperse seeds
Monocots (one cotyledon)
- single leaf
- 25% of angiosperms
- grass-like
- orchids, grasses, palm-trees
Angiosperm group
Dicots (two cotyledon)
two baby leaves
eudicot (true dicots)
- new dicots
- legume and rose family
How do monocot and edicot embryos differ?
Monocot has one cotyledon
eudicot embryos have two cotyledons
How do monocot and eudicot leaves differ?
Monocot leaf veins are parallel
Eudicot leaf veins are netlike
How do monocot and eudicot stems differ?
Monocot tissue is scattered
Eudicot tissue is arranged in a ring
How do monocot and eudicot roots differ?
Monocot roots are fibrous (no main root)
Eudicots have taproot (main root usually present)
How do monocot and eudicot pollen differ?
Monocot pollen grains have one opening
Eudicot pollen grains have three openings
How do monocot and eudicot flowers differ?
Monocot flower organs come in multiples of 3
Eudicot floral organs come in multiples of 4/5
