What are distinctive features of plant cells?
Cell walls made of cellulose
Large central vacuole
Chloroplasts
Water and in organics
Xylem (vascular system)
transports sugars and other organics
Phloem (vascular system)
antheridia produce sperm (produced by mitosis)
male
archegonia produce eggs (produced by mitosis)
female
zygotes grow into adult what ?
sporophytes (diploid)
sporophytes produce
haploid spores
Spores germinate into
gametophytes
Waxy cuticle
prevents water loss
Roots anchor the plants and absorb water and minerals
Adaptations plants to life on land
Stomata- CO2 is absorbed through stomata
Adaptations plants to life on land
Embryo develops inside a protective layer of cells
Adaptations plants to life on land
Tolerate temperature extremes
Adaptations plants to life on land
Gametophyte is dominant
Forms a flattened lobed leaflike structure called a thallus (non vascular plant)
Phylum Hepatophyta
Sporophyte is very reduced and is found on the upper side of the archegoniophore
