Q

Reproduction in Class Bacillariophyceae

A

-binary fission

-during mitosis, the two valves of the frustule separate, the protoplasm divides longitudinally and the innermost or hypothecal valve is replaced in each new daughter cell

-to compensate for this reduction, the cells periodically shed both of the valves, increase in sauce and synthesize two new valves.

27

Brown algae
28

Class phaeophyceae Phylum Rhodophyta Vast majority of seaweeds Enormous geological range-tropical to arctic waters, few are freshwater
29
Members of Class Phyaeophyceae are primarily living where?
Marine macro-algae Few freshwater
30
Basic unit of organization of Class Phyaeophyceae
Filament
31
Brown colour of Class Phyaeophyceae is due to what
Making effects of chlorophyll’s by carotenoids and xanthophyll pigments (mainly fucoxanthin)
32
Class Phyaeophyceae, contains orders that can be organized according to their life cycles:
Isogenerate: exhibit isomorphic alternation of generations Heterogenerate: exhibit heteromorphic alternation of generations Cyclosporae: do not exhibit alternation of generations
33
Order Ectocarpales -life cycle -appearance -anchorage
-isogenerate life cycle -branched filamentous (thalli) forming bushy organisms from a few to 15cm in length. -horizontal rhizoid-like structure penetrate the substrate for anchorage
34
Life cycle of Ectocarpus
-haploid and diploid phases are both filamentous -diploid individuals produce unilocular meiosporangia; these are sporangia which produce meiospores (zoospores). The diploid individuals also produce plurilocular sporangia (many chambers) in which each chamber produced one “swarmer” -The gametophyte produces only plurilocular structures. These could be zoosporangia, producing asexual zoospores, or gametangia, producing flagellated isogametes -nuclei of unilocular mother cells divide meiotically to produce haploid zoospores. These are about twice the size of the gametes produced by haploid plurilocular sporangia. These haploid zoospores germinate to produce haploid gametophytes. Since the diploid sporophytes and the haploid gametophytes look the same, we can say that is is an example of isomorphic alternation of generations Motile gametes are all the same size. Females settle down on the substrate and chemically attract male gametes, which fuse with them to form a zygote (2n). These zygotes develop in to the diploid plants
35
Asexual reproduction in Ectocarpus
-plurilocular sporangia of diploid generation produce diploid zoospores by Mitosis. These germinate into sporophytes, just like the parents. Haploid gametophytes also produce plurilocular structures. The plurilocular structures on the gametophyte are smaller than those of the sporophyte, they can produce either zoospores, or gametes (all by mitosis)
36
Order Laminariales -life cycle type -common name -anatomy of kelp
-heterogenerate life cycle -kelp -holdfast, stipe, and blade region
37
Laminariales have well-defined areas of cell division meristematic regions within their _____
Blade regions
38
Leo’s have strands of elongated __________ in the Center of the ______ that are similar to ______. These cells have _______ similar to those of vascular plants
Conducting cells Stipe Phloem Sieve plates
39
Marine algae do not need a mechanism for water transport and therefore there are no cells analogous to ______ or _____
Trachieds Vessel elements
40
Morphology of Laminaria sp.
-distinct alternation of generations -sporophytes are large and long-lived (blades up to 100m). Are parenchymous with growth from an intercalary meristem between the stipe and the blade, which adds tissue to both. -gametophytes are much smaller and filamentous
41
Sexual reproduction in Laminaria sp is ________
Oogamous
42
Holdfast
Site of firm attachment of the kelp to the substrate by the growth of rhizoidal cells from the outer meristematic cells. These rhizoidal cells fill every microscopic crevice of the substrate until an exact profile of the substrate is built.
43
3 tissue regions found in the sporophyte of Laminaria
Central medulla Cortex and epidermis
44
At the thallus surface are the ________, _______ cells of the meristoderm, which add to the girth of the organ in Laminaria so
Photosynthetic Meristematic
45
Life cycle of Laminaria sp.
Along length of the blade are found regions of epidermis called “sori”. These spring are composed of unilocular sporangia, intermingles with sterile “paraphrases” (filamentous strucures found packed between sporangia or gametangia). The unilocular meiosporangia produce 32 haploid meiospres. These meiospores settle to the substrate and produce the small filamentous gametophyte generation. The male gametophytes form mall colourless antheridia, that produce motile, biflagellate sperm. The females form elongated Oogonia. A single egg is released from the oogonium prior to fertilization. After fertilization, the zygote germinates to form a flat pro-embryo that subsequently differentiates into the mature sporophyte
46
Order Fulcales -life cycle -structure
Cyclosporae-haploid generation being reduced to eggs and sperm. The remainder of the lifecycle is diploid. -parenchymous with growth from an apical cell
47
Fucus sp. -taxonomy -appearance
Class Phaeophyceae Order Fucales -thallus is branches and supported by a short narrow stalk that is attached to a discoid holdfast. The branching is dichotomous and each branch has an apical cell that divides several times a year resulting in the formation of a dichotomy or fork.
48
Internal anatomy of Fucus
-mucilaginous cuticle covering the epidermal layer of cells -inner cortex, with the medulla in the Center.
49
In Fucus, when vegetative tissues are damaged, cells of the exposed tissue divide to form a _____________

50
In Fucus, gametangia are formed in specialized hollow chambers called…. These are found embedded in ……
Conceptacles Fertile areas called receptacles located at the tips of the branches of the sporophyte
51
Gametangia in Fucus
Oogonia and antheridia
52
Individuals of Fucus can be _______ or _______
Monoecious Dioecious
53
