Q

Leptosporangia divides how

A

by a precise pattern the outer cell divides and creates an elaborate stalked sporangium with a capsule having a wall that is one cell thick

Q

Leptosporangia as it dries out the annulus

A

contracts splitting the capsule along the lip cells exploting (dehiscence) the spores out to the world.

17
Q

Psilotopsida and Marattiopsida both are

A

eusporangiates

18
Q

Psilotopsida consists of

A

homosporous ferns:

  1. ophioglossales
  2. psilotales
19
Q

Psilotopsida - Ophioglossales

A

two segments:
vegetative (sterile)
fertile - bears eusporangia

20
Q

Psilotopsida - Psilotum

A
  1. tropical, subtropical
  2. whisk fern
  3. simple, no roots no leaves
  4. has rhizomes
21
Q

Psilotum dichotomous branching

A

one stem gives rise to 2 branches

22
Q

Psilotum synangia

A

spores are housed in these 3 lobed structures

23
Q

Psilotum enations

A

outgrowth below the synangia

24
Q

Psilotum gametophyte

A

is bisexual - subteranian
has both archegonia and antheridia
sperm multiflagged (require water)

25
Polypodiopsida
only letosporangiate fern (synapomorphy) | homosporous
26
Polypodiopsida fronds
can be one-pinnate or twice pinnate
27
Polypodiopsida sporangia
occur in the margins or lower surfaces of leaves | sori and indusium
28
Polypodiopsida gametophyte
Prothallus, heart shaped membrane structures antheridia and archegonia develop on lower surface of prothallus. multiflagellate sperm
29
Polypodiopsida water ferns
(salvinales) heterosporous have sporocarps - germinate when places in water
30
Marattipsida
tropical circinate vegetation homosporous bisexual gametophytes
31
Equisetopsida
``` horsetails, represented by equisetum strobili fertile shoot node internode rhizome ```
32
All seed plants are
heterosporous, they produce megaspores and microspores
33
seed ovule
integument nucellus (megasporangium) megaspore (mother cell) microphyle
34
seed plants
include angiosperms(flowers) and gymnosperms(no flowers)
35
gymnosperms
naked. | seed not enclosed in an ovary (fruit)
36
extinct gymnosperms
pteridosperms, cycadeois, cordaites
