Lab 3 Flashcards
Kingdom Plantae
SporicMeiosis•Sterile Jacket•Embryos –sporophyte inside female
Bryophyta
Moss, liverworts horworts
–Simple, relatively small–Lack a vascular system•Moist areas•Usually close to the ground–Use water for reproduction•Sperm swim to eggs
upper division lack vascular system
Alternation of Generation in Bryophytes
Mature sporophyte (diploid) releases numerous spores (haploid)
•Spores germinate into a protonema(branching structure)–Grows upright with “leaves”, a “stem” and rhizoids
•Gametophyte (haploid) produces gametangia–Archegoniumcontains egg–Antheridium contains antherozoid(sperm)
•Sperm swim to egg and after fertilization sporophyte starts to develop
Bryophyta Predominant Phase:
Gametophyte
Bryophyta Sporophyte
Obtains nutrients from Gametophyte through foot
Looks like stem with flower
Monilophyta
Ferns Xylem Phloem Not water restricted Needs water to reproduce
Xylem
Carry water and minerals from soil (flows up)
Ploem
Distribute organic compounds to roots (flows down)
Alternation of Generations in Monilophyta
Sporophyte: Diploid
Gametophyte Haploid, spore to gametophyte, Gametophyte is heart shaped
After fertilization, zygote to sporophyte
Monilophyta predominant phaseL
Sporophyte
Arechegonium
Contains egg
Antheridium
Contains sperm (antherozoid)
Gametophyte
Haploid, produces gametes
Sporophyte
diploid, produces spores
Sexual reproduction of plants
Sporic
