Phylum Lycopodiophtya And Phylum Monilophyta Flashcards
Phylum Lycopodiophyta includes which plants
Club misses
Spike misses
Quillworts
Phylum Lycopodiophyta characteristics
-microphylls leaves With singular vascular traces
-true roots
-sporangia have a close association with fertile leaves known as Sporophylls
Lycopodiophyta
The Sporophylls are often aggregated into ____ or ____ shaped _______
Club
Spike
Strobili (strobilus)
Lycopodiophyta
Stems vary according to genus and species….. however what types aid steles are common
Protostels
Siphonostele
Polyesters
Lycopodiophyta
The sporangia are ______ walled which means they are
Thick
Eusporangiate
Homosporous
Heterosporous
Producing one type of spore
Producing two types of spores (micro spores and megaspores)
In phylum Lycopodiophyta, the sperm are known as _____ and they are _____ or _______
Antherozoids
Biflagellate
Multiflagellate
Phylum Lycopodiophyta have only 3 living orders which are
Lycopodiales
Selaginellales
Isoetales
Order Lycopodiales consists of only _____forms. The plants usually have _____ arranged leaves that are not associated with _____
Homosporous
Spirally
Ligules
Genus Lycopodium (Clubmosses)
-habitat
-leaves
-stomata
-rhizomes
-roots
-woodland throughout the forested area of MB
-small, sessile, and spiral in arrangement
-may be adaxial or abaxial or both
-all species have these and is where aerial branches develop.
-roots are delicate and dichotomously branched and are scattered along the underground portions of the stems.
Gametophytes of Lycopodium may be ______ or found on the ______
Subterranean
Surface of the ground
Gametophytes of Lycopodium
-size and shape
-8-25mm, vary (disc/carrot)
Antheridia and archegonia size in Lycopodium
Antheridia are massive and produce large numbers of biflagellate sperms
Archegonia vary in size
Order Selaginellales (spike mosses)
-size
-stems and leaves
-strobili
-spore types
-roots
-small and delicate
-trailing stems, dense spirally arranged leaves (microphylls), contains tongue like ligules
-strobili composed of Sporophylls bearing single sporangia on the adaxial Sporophyll surface.
-two kinds of spores (Heterospory)
-adventitious and grow directly from the prostrate stems
Spore production in class glossopsida which contains the order Selaginellales is associated with a profound change in the morphology of the gametophytes generation ……
Endosporic
Gametes develop within the spore with only the sex organs, antheridia and archegonia protruding.
Heterospory
Sporophyte plant produced two distinct types of sporangia.
-the male sporangia are called Microsporangia which produce microspores. These spores germinate and develop into male gametophytes, which will prince only antheridia.
-the female sporangia are called megasporangia and produce megaspores. The spores will germinate and develop into female gametophytes and produce only archegonia.
Mega and micro sporangia are borne on _____, which are aggregates into compact or loose____
Sporophylls
Strobili
Selaginella sp. (Spike moss) 3 Manitoba species and there habitats
-selaginella densa-dry sandy grasslands)
-Selaginella rulestris-rocky shield
-Selaginella Selaginelloides-acid bogs
Order Isoetales (Quill-worts)
-stems
-sporangia location
-how many spore types
-ligule?
-greatly shortened, upright with tufts of linear leaves giving the appearance of grass
-imbedded in the leaf base like
-2=heyerosporous
-yes
Manitoba Isoetale
Isoetes echinospora var. braunii
Margins or ponds and lakes in south eastern corner of province
The phylum Monilophyta includes the _____
Ferns
Leaves of ferns are known as
Fronds
The sporangia of Monilophyta are of which two distinct kinds
Eusporangia- relatively large, sessile or with massive stalks and contain a large number of spores enclosed by a several layered sporangia wall.
(Classes Psilotpsida and Equisetopsida)
Letosproangia-sporangia are much more delicate, are protuberant on thin sporangia stalk, sporangia walls are thin, numbers of spores per sporangium are in multiples of twos.
(Classe Polypodiopsida)
In the phylum Monilophyta, both ___ and ____ferns are known
Heterosporous
Homosporous
The sporangia or phylum Monilophyta are usually Borne where
On the abaxial (lower) surface or margin of the lead, or occasionally on special fronds.
