True. Saprobes; extracellular
53
How does Agaricus differ from the other fungus RO's?
It is visible to the naked eye while the other three require a microscope to be seen clearly.
54
Describe the structure of Allomyces.
Haploid, branching hyphae with round, ball-like sporangia
55
Describe the reproduction of Allomyces.
Asexual- diploid zoospore is released from thin-walled sporangium, produced by mitosis which grows into a young diploid hyphae–this is the easier, preferred process
Sexual reproduction- thick-walled, sexual sporangia produce haploid zoospores by meiosis. These produce haploid hyphae with male and female gametangium, which produce gametes. When fertilization occurs, a diploid zygote is formed and, thus, a young diploid hyphae
56
Describe the structure of Rhizopus.
Rhizoids (which are similar to roots) are connected horizontally by stolons (which are like runner stems). At each rhizoid cluster there are sporangiophores that give rise to round sporangia at the top. Within the sporangia the spores are produced and contained
57
Describe the structure of Sordaria
Round, bulbous ascocarp protects asci. The ascus (asci plural) is a long collection of ascospores. Inside each small, round ascospores are spores.
58
Describe the structure of Agaricus
The basidiocarp is made of the gills and protective cap. Below is the stem. The entire structure is composed of tightly packed hyphae.
Each gill is made of basidium that give rise to the basidiospore (resembled a elongate structure with circles on the top)
59
True or false? Green algae store sugars in the form of starch within their mitochondria.
False. Within their chloroplasts
60
What is oogamous reproduction mean?
Sexual reproduction where there is a large non-motile egg that is fertilized by small, usually motile, sperm.
The purpose of this adaptation is so that only one gamete has to navigate the harsh environment. Many, smaller male gametes make fertilization more likely, while a larger egg provides more nutrients for the embryo.
61
All members of the kingdom of Plantae are united by the following features, which are absent in their charophycean ancestors:
(1) an alternation of life cycle
(2) gametangia and sporangia with multicellular walls

62
The kingdom of Plantae evolved from _________ green algae
charophycean
63
Which phylum is among the first organisms to colonize newly exposed soils and are sensitive to atmospheric pollution?
Bryophyta (mosses; nonvascular plants)
64
Describe the structure of Polytrichum.
The sporophyte arises from the gametophyte as a long stalk with a single sporangium, called a capsule, at its apex. Within the capsule, cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores. If the sporangium is immature, it will be covered by a protective, hairy, cap called the calyptra. The apex of the sporangium has a lid or operculum which protects the entrance to the spore-producing region until the spores are mature. Lastly, rhizoids anchor the plant to the soil.
65
Describe reproduction of Polytrichum.
(1) When the gametophyte (the leafy bottom half) is mature antheridia (male gametangia) and archegonia (female gametangia) develop at the top
(2) Fertilization gives rise to the sporophyte on top of the gametophyte
(3) Within the sporangium/capsule haploid spores are produced by meiosis and mitosis
(4) These spores give rise to new haploid gametophytes and the cycle restarts
66
What obstacles did vascular plants face in the transition to land? How were these obstacles overcome?
(1) Prevention of desiccation– cuticle, stomata (stem because early plants lacked leaves)
(2) Absorption of water and inorganic nutrients– early plants lacked roots, rhizoids on horizontal stems (rhizomes); roots evolved later
(3) Transport of water and nutrients–xylem transports water + dissolved minerals, phloem transports sugars (conducting tissues)
(4) Support–cell walls made of cellulose, in some additional thick cell wall (secondary wall) composed of lignin
(5) Dispersal– spores/sporangia, covered in sporopollenin for protection from microbes, enables survival in air dispersal
67
What are two specialized vascular tissues part of xylem tissue and phloem tissue, respectively.
water-conducting tracheids and food-conducting sieve elements
68
Vascular plants can further be divided into two groups:
seedless and seed plants
Note: seedless vascular plants are better adapted to terrestrial conditions than bryophytes, however require water for fertilization, thus developed asexual reproduction
69
Compare homosporous and heterosporous plants.
Homosporous plants produce one size of spore
| Heterosporous plants produce megaspores and microspores
70
Pteridophyta has leaves called ________
megaphylls
71
How does Polytrichum differ from Polypodium and Lycopodium?
Polytrichum does not have vascular tissues
Lycopodium and Polypodium do, allowing them to grow larger
(notice the endings of the names are the same)
72
Describe the reproduction of Lycopodium.
(1) the strobilus of the sporophyte houses sporangium that undergo meiosis to release haploid spores
(2) these spores give rise to haploid gametophyte
(3) The mature gametophyte has antheridia (male) and archegonia (female) that release sperm and house an egg
(4) Once fertilization occurs a diploid zygote is formed that growas into an embryo
(5) this embryo will give rise to another sporophyte
73
Describe the structure of Lycopodium.
Sporophyte: Roots grow from horizontal stem called rhizoid; aerial stems grow verically with microphylls (these small skinny leaves); at the top is the strobilus which houses sporophylls and sporangium (where spores are produced)
74
Describe the reproductive cycle of Polypodium.
(1) On the underside of the megaphylls (leaves) of the diploid sporophyte are the sorus that contain sporangium, which produce haploid spores
(2) These spores germinate to create a gametophyte with archegonium (female) and antheridium (male) that produce an egg and sperm
(3) once fertilization occurs, a diploid sporophyte emerges from the haploid gametophyte
(4) once matured, the sporophyte is no longer connected to the gametophyte but the rhizoid, and the cycle comes full circle
75
Describe the structure of Polypodium.
Horizontal stem called rhizome with roots; stems grow from rhizome with megaphylls (like leaves). On the underside of each megaphyll are sorri (sorrus singular) that house sporangium that produce spores.
76
What are two major groups of seed plants?

flowering, angiosperms
81
The sepals and petals of wind-polinated species are dull in colour, reduced in size, or absent. Why would this be?
The colours of flowers are an adaptation to attract pollinators . Wind-pollinated species do not need to attract insects or animals because they use the wind to pollinate.
82
Describe the structure of the Caragana fruit.
Pod developed from an ovary; single carpels that retains the flower stalk and dried sepals; the pod is the ripened ovary wall; each seed is attached to the placenta (a tiny ridge of tissue running the length of the pod) by a short stalk called funiculus; the cavity within the pod is called the locule
83
Describe the pericarp, placenta, and seeds in a common fruit.
The pericarp is the tissue that is first inside the skin of the fruit, this would be the white part of the orange. The placenta is the white tissue in the centre or along the top of a pod. The seeds are self explanatory
