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
