Q

where is the plasmodesmata not located

A

no plasmodesmata between sporophyte and gametophyte

22
Q

why is there no plasmodesmata between the sporophyte and gametophyte

A

Placenta- several transfer cells

23
Q

what characteristics does a mature sporophyte have

A

foot in archegonium; seta (stalk); capsule (sporangium)

24
Q

what is an embryophyte

A

term for all plants; multicellular, matrotrophic embryo; produce many-celled diploid sporophyte

25
Q

what does sporopollenin do

A

most decay and chemical resistant biopolymer

26
Q

which organisms form Protonemata

A

Protonemata are formed in all mosses and some liverworts but not in hornworts.

27
Q

what are charophytes

A

class of green algae most closely related top plants

28
Q

what are the three phyla in bryophytes

A

Phylum Hepatophyta; Phylum Anthocerophyta; Phylum Bryophyta

29
Q

what phyla are liverworts in

A

hepatophyta

30
Q

what are some characteristics of liverworts

A

small; most gametophytes develop directly from spores; some have protonema first

31
Q

what are the two clades of liverworts

A

clades are either complex thalloid types or “leafy” simple types

32
Q

what type of liverwort is merchantia

A

complex thalloid

33
Q

what are some characteristics of merchantia

A

gametophytes unisexual; distinguished by gametophores; specialized spore dispersal mechanism; gemma cups (asexual reproduction) – produce gemmae

34
Q

where are leafy liverworts found

A

abundant in tropics & subtropics (high humidity or rainfall
grow on leaves, bark, other plant surfaces)

35
Q

what phyla are hornworts in

A

Anthocerophyta

36
Q

what are the characteristics of gametophytes in hornworms

A

somewhat similar to thallose liverworts; cells usually have one large chloroplast; usually 1-2 cm across; some unisexual

37
Q

what are the characteristics of sporophytes in hornworms

A

foot and capsule/sporangium; meristem between foot and sporangium (means that it can’t not branch); green with cuticle and stomata

38
Q

what are the three classes of bryophyta

A

Sphagnidae (peat mosses); Andreaeidae (granite mosses);

Bryideae (“true mosses”)

39
Q

what are some characteristics of peat moss

A

diverged early from main line of moss evolution; distributed worldwide; distinctive sporophytes; common asexual reproduction through fragmentation

40
Q

how are peat mosses different than other mosses

A

unusual protonema; morphology of gametophyte (“moplike” head, leaves one cell layer thick, dead leaf cells fill with water) explosive spore dispersal (operculum)

41
Q

what is the protonema

A

the first stage of development of the gametophyte

42
Q

what is the operculum

A

cap that bursts open and allows spores to escape

43
Q

what class does granite moss belong too

A

andreaeidae

44
Q

what are some characteristics of granite moss

A

small blackish-green or reddish-brown tufts; grow on rocks in mountainous or arctic regions; unique spore discharge mechanism

45
Q

what class does true moss belong to

A

Bryidae

46
Q

what are some characteristics of true moss

A

resemble filamentous green algae (protonema) but have slanted cross walls; multicellular rhizoids
leaves normally only one cell layer thick

47
Q

what are hydroids

A

water-conducting cells in stems of gametophytes and sporophytes; resemble tracheids but cell walls not lignified

48
Q

what are leptoids

A

food-conducting cells

49
Q

what is the sexual reproduction like in bryidae

A 
unbranched sporophyte (embedded in gametophyte, placenta; usually have stomata; as matures, turns brown)
specialized spore dispersal (operculum bursts off; peristome)
50
Q

The peristome is unique to which class

A

bryidae
