Q

Definition of protist

A
  1. any organism that is not a fungi, animal or plant.
  2. most unicellular with exceptions, like algae, which are very complex.
  3. they are NOT taxomic. ( one animal where all others evolved from)

16
Q

dominant primary producers

A
  1. are in the bottom of the food chain.

2. if primary producers are eliminated, the effect goes to all other animals, and may die.

17
Q

Wind erosion

A

Because we cut trees and plants down, the soil weakens and thus creates water & wind erosion. (roots of plants stiffen the soil.)

18
Q

Green algae

A
  1. found in aquatic environments
  2. get nutrients from water around thus totally submerge.
  3. cell density is the same as water and bulb in plant help it’s bouyancy. does not need vascular support.
19
Q

Plants; process of primitive to advance properties.

A
  1. non-vascular plants (bryophytes) need water
  2. seedless vascular plants. need water
  3. seed plants no water needed.
20
Q

Plants; primitive to advance names

A
  1. liverworts 3-2-2
  2. hornworts
  3. mosses
  4. lycophytes,
  5. pterophytes ex. whisk, ferns
  6. gymnosperm (conifers)
  7. angiosperm (flowers)
21
Q

three major steps from water to land

A
  1. prevent water loss
  2. transport water and nutrients
  3. support plant body
22
Q

how did plants overcome waterloss

A
  1. by adaption of the Cuticle, a waxy layer that prevents water loss
  2. Stomata, pores that allow gas exchange in photosynthesis.
23
Q

how did overcome the transport of water & nutrients

A
  1. adapting a vasuclar system,
  2. adapting tubes that evolve from , simple,tracheids, to vessels.tubes died, which increased water transport.(cytoplasm died too)
  3. vessels silmulaneously solved the 3rd problem. (support plant body)
24
Q

lignin

A

a polymer which provides tubes with strenght.

25
Q

what difines difference between water & land plants.

A

Alternation of Generations

26
Q

Alternation of Generations

A

Both diploid and haploid stages are multicellular.

27
Q

Green algae reproduction system

A
  1. opposite from us.

2. the zygote is the only diploid cell that is NOT mulitcellular.

28
Q

Non- vascular plants

A
  1. no vascular tissue
  2. require water for fertilization
  3. no true roots stems or leaves.
29
Q

seedless vascular plants

A
  1. vascular tissue
  2. tracheids supported with lignin
  3. true roots stems and leaves present.
  4. water required for fertilization
30
Q

ferns

A
  1. is a seedless vascular plant.
  2. pteridophyta
  3. grows as epiphytes, not rooted in soil.
  4. tip of plant grows as fiddleheads
31
Q

products from seed plants

A
  1. provides most of our foods.
  2. provide wood
  3. provide medicine.
32
Q

Monoecious

A

having both male and female reproductive systems.

33
Q

gymnosperm

A

cones shape, high elevations, most evergreen. keep leaves to undergo photosynthesis all year.

34
Q

angiosperm

A

flowering plants, trees with flowers

35
Q

conifers

A

mostly wind despersal, cone like shape. tallest is the redwood. biggest is the Giant sequoia. oldest is the bristlecone pine, 4900 years

36
Q

Angiosperm

A
  1. most diverse in land plants.
  2. flowers to attract pollinators.
  3. food for seed despersal
  4. has an ovary (fruit)
37
Q

wind & animal dispersal

A

wind helps fertilize, and animals like bees also help take pollen to female in other plants. (animal dispersal is most succesful.

38
Q

flower properties

A
  1. sepal-encloses flower
  2. pedals- brightly color and attracts pollinators.
  3. stamens-produce pollen on their terminal anthers (male)
  4. carpels-produce ovules.(female)
39
Q

two stradegies for flowers to attract pollinators.

A
  1. give something back(bees get honey)

2. completely fool or trick pollinator.
