Lab 5, 6, 7 Flashcards
what are the two groups within seed plants
gymnosperms and angiosperms
gymnosperms
produce naked seeds (ex: conifers)
angiosperms
produce enclosed seeds (ex: flowering plants, fruit plants)
seed plants
- vascular
- alteration of generation
- dominant sporophyte generation
what are the two crucial reproductive adaptations to terrestrial life
pollen and seeds
pollen
thick walled, dessication resistant, male gametophyte of seed plants
carries sperm
occurs before fertilization
seed
ripened ovule
contains female gametophyte
egg is produced within gametophyte
what three things do all seeds have at maturity
1) a diploid sphorophyte embryo
2) food supply
3) protective seed coat
phylum coniferophyta
produce cones
ex : pines, spruces, cedars, and junipers
evergreen plants
harsh enviroments - northern forests
where are conifers found
boreal forest
where are junipers found
central regions
where are lodgepole pines found
cypress hills - southwestern province
which phylum is picea in and what is the common name
coniferophyta - spruce tree is common name
picea
vascular
long conical tree
boreal forest
needle like leaves with cuticle
tracheids
xylem cells transporting water in vascular tissie plants
cuticle
thick waxy material to prevent water loss
pollen cone
pollen containing male reproductive part of picea
what does pollen cone contain
microsporophylls
what is in microsporophylls
microsporangia
microsporangia
long yellow sacs - two in microsporophylls - create pollen
ovule cone
female cone of picea - contains ovuliferous scales
ovuliferous scales
contains two small whitish ovules
ovules in picea
two of them in each scale - riped into seeds - bears a flattened wing
purpose of wing in female cones
to help with air borne dispersion
friends of picea
sequoia, norfolk island pine, juniper, cycad, and ginkgo
phylum anthophyta
flowering plants
angiosperms
general flower structure parts
sepals, petals, stamens and carpels
sepal
green and enclose and protect the other flower parts
petals
colourful, and attract pollinators
stamen
male organ inside the petals
composed of a slender filament and an anther at the end of it
anther
pollen producing organ
contains four sporangia which produce pollegn grain and turn into non motile sperm
carpel
female organ
1 or more
3 parts - stigma, style, and ovary
pistil
more than 1 caprel fused together
stigma
part of carpel - tip of the carpel recieves pollen from anther
style
thin stalk-like poriton of carpel
ovary
swollen base of carpel contains ovule - inside each is a female gametophyte which produces egg
which phylum is lilium from and common name
anthophyta - prarie lily
habitat of lilium
grasslands, slough margins, undegrowth of northern forests
locules
chambers of the ovary - containing ovule
how to know how many locules a plant has
correspond to how many carpels have formed a pistil
funiculus
short wide stalk connecting ovule to placenta
friends of prarie lily
sunflower, wheat
fruits
ripened/mature ovaries of flowers
male reproduction process
microsporangium -> meiosis -> microspore -> pollen grain -> sperm
subkingdoms of kingdom animalia
parazoa and eumetazoa
kingdom animalia
- mm to 32 meteres long
- multicellular
- embryo
- no cell walls
- heterotrophic
what phylum is part of parazoa
porifera
phylum porifera (sponges)
- no true tissues or organs
- aquatic
- half a cm to 2 metre
- no obvious symmetry
- bodies made up of few types of cells
- few predators
- sessile
- internal cavity
- filter feeding
what makes up the bodies of sponges
spongin and spicules
spongin
fiberous protein making up a sponge’s body
spicules
hard fragments of calcium carbonate or silica making up the sponge’s body
why do sponges not have that many predators
- produce and store noxious substances
- spicules and spongin are relatively indigestible
spongocoel
internal cavity lined with flagellated cells to draw in water, particles, and organisms
osculum
large opening in sponge’s body
filter feeding
- spongocoel brings in water particles and organisms
- trapped in a mucilaginous material and transported to cells for digestioon
- water and waste leaves through the osculum
grantia phylum and kingdom
porifera, parazoa, animalia
where is grantia found
coast lines of north atlantic - hanging upside down beneath rock or attached to algae
