Question 3

glaucophytes

Answer 3

single celled, marine, no evidence of sexual selection

Question 4

Red Algae

Answer 4

multicellular, marine, lack peptidoglycan in chloroplast, multicellular gametophyte and sporophyte, sperm unflagellated- move through water

ex. noori sheets, agar

Question 5

Green Algae/ Chlorophytes

Answer 5

synapomorphy: chlorophyll b
can be uni . or multi cellular
multicellular gametophyte and sporophyte, sperm/ spore flagellated and move through water

- liverworts, mosses, horsetails, ferns, ginko, conifers, angiosperms

Question 7

Liverworts

Answer 7

no stomata, low to the ground and in moist areas, flagellated sperm, sporophyte dependent on gametophyte, internally protected embryo + waxy cuticle

Question 8

mosses

Answer 8

have stomata, simple water transport, flagellated sperm, require water, sporophyte nutritionally dependent on gametophyte
