What problems do plants need to solve as they transition to life on land?
dessication (avoid drying), reproduction without water, transporting sugar/water, structural support
What is dessication?
avoid drying out - becoming resistant spores, wall of cells
What are sporopollenin?
a biological polymer found as a major component of the tough outer (exine) walls of plant spores and pollen grains
What is gametangie
organ with supportive cells produces/protect the gametes
What is archegonia?
egg gamete
What is antheridia?
sperm gamete
What are some other examples of dessication?
cuticle, bark, seeds
What kind of reproduction are bryophytes and seedless vascular plants?
flagellated sperm
What kind of reproduction are gymnosperms?
air-borne pollens
What kind of reproduction is angiosperms?
animal-dispersed pollen
What does a vascular system do?
transports food and water to plant body, also providing structure
Name an example of vascular system:
Lignin
