Q

characteristics of algae

A
  • always found in aquatic or moist environments
  • don’t have true leaves and stems called blades and stripes
  • life cycle follows alternation of generations

Q

what is the alternation of generations

A

found in all plants where for part of the life cycle the plant is haploid and other part is diploid

9
Q

explain alternation of generations

A

the gametophyle produces two gametes which fusion together into a zygote the zygote goes into mitosis into a sporephyte the sporophyte goes into meiosis and produces spores

16
Q

what are the 4 divisions of gymnosperms

A

conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, gnetophytes

17
Q

describe conifers

A
  • in cooler regions and in desert habitats
  • leaf curl to reduce water loss
  • cone bearing seed plant with needles like leaves
18
Q

example of conifers

A

spruce trees, pine trees, junipers

19
Q

describe cycads

A

seed plants have stout and woody trunks

20
Q

describe ginkgoes

A

-fan like leaves
yellow flowers
-Chinese plant

21
Q

describe gnetophytes

A

cones

angiosperms like leaves

22
Q

what are angiosperms

A

they have flowers and bear fruit

23
Q

what are the 2 classes of angiosperms

A

monocots and dicots

24
Q

describe monocots

A
  • single cotyledon
  • flower parts in multiples of 3
  • leaves with parallel lines
  • die off each year
  • vascular bundles scattered randomly in stems
25
example of monocots
lilies, corn, bananas
26
describe dicots
-two cotyledons -flowers parts in multiples of 4 or 5 - leaves with net like veins - stems grow thicker year to year vascular bundles in a ring in stems
27
what is the female part in flower called
pistil
28
what are the female parts
stingma, style, pollen tube, ovary, ovule, eggs
29
what is the male part in a flower called
stamen
30
what are the male parts
anther, filament
31
what is xylem and phloem
xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots
32
what is algae
aquatic plant that contain chlorophyll but lacks true stems,roots, leaves and vascular tissue
33
what is a bryophyte
small flower less green plant like mosses or liverworts
34
archegonium
female reproductive organ in ferns and mosses
35
what is the male reproductive organ in ferns and mosses
anteridium
