Lab 5 - seedless plants Flashcards
traits shared by charophytes and land plants
- possession of chlorophylls a +b, carotenoids and xanthophylls
- cell wall of cellulose
- photosynthate stored as starch
derived traits of land plants
- apical meristems
- walled spores in sporangia
- multicellular gametangia
- dependent embryos
all land plants reproduce through
sporic meiosis (alternation of generation)
diploid stages in sporic meiosis
- sporophyte
- zyogte
haploid stages in sporic meiosis
- spores
- gametophyte
- gamtetes
gametes under ____ to produce zygote
syngamy
the zygote undergoes _____ to produce the sporophyte
mitosis
sporophyte undergoes _____ to produce spores
meiosis
spores undergo ____ to produce gametophyte
mitosis
gametophyte undergoes ____ to produce gametes
mitosis
two types of alternation of generations
- heteromorphic and isomorphic
heteromorphic alternation of generation
gametophyte and sporophyte stages are distinct from each other
isomorphic alternation of generations
gametophyte and sporophyte are identical
example of heteromorphic alternation of generation
ferns
example of isomorphic alternation of generation
Ulva
cell wall of plants is ____
rigid
two parts of the cell wall
- primary cell wall
- secondary cell wall
primary cell wall is made from
cellulose and somewhat flexible
the secondary cell wall is made from
cellulose and lignin = not flexible
what cell wall is always present
primary cell wall
what cell wall is sometimes present
secondary cell wall
protoplast reflects
all the living contents of cell
(plasma membrane, cytosol, nucelus and other organelles)
3 types of plant cells
- parenchyma cells
- collenchyma cells
- sclerenchyma cells
sclerenchyma cell characteristics
- secondary cell walls
- support in areas that are done growing
- no protoplast at maturity
collenchyma cells
- primary cell wall
- support/growth
- living
parenchyma cells
- primary cell walls
- unspecialized
- metabolically active
what plant type cells are primary cell walls
- parenchyma
- collenchyma
meiocytes are found in the
multicellular sporophyte
meiocytes function
to undergo meiosis and produce spores
what surrounds the protoplast
the rigid cell wall
where is the secondary cell wall found
inside the primary cell wall
what renders the secondary cell wall inflexible
lignin
function of collenchyma
give the plant mechanical support and elasticity
where would collenchyma cells be found
young stems, leaves
major function of cells with a secondary cell wall
provides strength and rigidity to the plant body
why are sclerenchyma cells dead at maturity
they have thickened walls with lignin that do not elongate during cell growth and the cell wall becomes hard/impermeable to water
two types of tissues
simple and complex
simple tissues
single cell type where the name reflects the cell type
complex tissue
more than one type of cell that are defined by function and location
three types of complex tissues
- xylem, phloem and epidermal
xylem
the principal water-conducting tissue in vascular plants
phloem
the conducting tissue for photosynthate (food)
xylem are made up of MOSTLY ______ and some _____
sclerenchyma and parenchyma
phloem are made up of MOSTLY ______ and some _____
parenchyma and sclerenchyma
in celery the phloem is more towards the ____ and the xylem is more towards the _____
outside and inside
what makes up the cap outside each vascular bundle in celery petiole
collenchyma tissue
phylum hepatophyta
liverworts
phylum Bryophyta
mosses
what phylum make up the seedless nonvascular plants
- phylum hepatophyta
- phylum bryophyta
what is the body called in seedless nonvascular plants
thallus
is the thallus of bryophytes differentiated into stems, leaves and roots
NO
seedless nonvascular plants have _____ alternation of generations
heteromorphic
what is the dominant stage in bryophytes
gametophyte
pores on the surface of Marchantia (liverwort) allow what
air chambers beneath the surface of the thallus
bryophytes depend on ___ to complete life cycle
water
seedless vascular plants phylum
- phylum Lycophyta
- phylum monilophyta
rhizoid function
to anchor the thallus to the substrate and a little bit of absorption of water and nutrients from soil
what is the asexual life cycle of Marchantia
gemmae cups form into the surface of the thallus and produce cells called gemmae that are dispersed by rain
what is the sexual life cycle of Marchantia
antheridia and archegonia with fertilization resulting in a sporophyte
_____ produce a protonema
moss
protonema
the first stage after spore germination
what will develop into the leafy gametophytes of protonema (moss)
buds
bryophte gametophyte is attached to substrate by thin filaments of ______ cells
rhizoids
a mature leafy gametophyte will produce ____ in bryophytes
gametangia
archegonia
female reproductive structure
antheridia
male reproductive structure
the egg is _____(haploid or diploid)
haploid
