Midterm 2 (Part 2) Flashcards
fungi are not…
plants
features of protists?
most unicellular, can be photo/auto/mixotrophs, asexual and sexual repro.
key innovation of seed plant 1
reduced gametophyte protected from enviromental stresses, dessication, uv
diplontic?
multicellular cell is in the diploid stage, formation of haploid gametes (animals)
cuticle and stomata
c- protects against desiccation
s- pore that allows for gas exchange and water regulation
golgi appartus?
protein modifications and trafficking
3 kinds of life cycles?
diplontic, haplodiplontic, haplontic
eukaryotes are a…
monophyletic group (common ancestor all descendants)
perioxisome
enzymes to tranfer H to O2 and remove H2O2
2 types of spore production
homosporus- bisexual gamete (seedless vascular)
heterosporus- male or female gametophyte (seed plants)
what do photosynthetic eukaryotes have?
mitochondria and plastids (chloro,chromo,amylplasts
ER?
rough- protein systhesis
smooth- lipid syn, metabolsim, steroids, carbs
Features of eukaryotes?
plasma membrane, cytoplasm (cytosol, organelles, inclusions), nucleus, cytoskeleton, mitochondria, flaggelum
how does Marchantia polymorpha reproduce
cups have cell buds that propogate and form new indivual
plant embryos do what?
retained in the maternal gametophyte tissues for protection and nutrition
what are gymnosperms?
non flowering seed plants
protists and malaria?
sickle cell causes advantage, inhibits parasite infection of the host, heterozygote advantage, higher frequency
2 types of seed dispersal in flowers/fruit
amnemochory- wind
zoochory- animals
haplontic?
multicellular cell is in the haploid stage, the diploid stage is a single cell (fungi protists)
what are tracheophytes?
monophyletic group of vascular plants, dominated by sporophyte, gametophyte reduced in size
what is pseudopodia?
cellular extension for moving an feeding
Features of sexual reproduction
diploid produce haploid through meiosis, differ in size (anisogamy), fertilization
what is the apical meristem
region of stem cell diviosn at the tip of roots and shoots, allow for indeterminate growth
haplodiplontic
multicellular cell is in the diploid and haploid stages (plants)
