Plantae Flashcards
Which organisms are primary produces cyanobacteria, corals, and redwood tree?
All
corals are bc of symbiotic relationship
primary producers are
carbon fixers to build more complex compounds
endemism
only occurs in one place on earth ex: redwood
key feature of the plantae lineage
chloroplasts resulting from primary endosymbiosis
t/f the mitochondrion and chloroplasts arose only one time in the evolution of eukaryotes
T bc its synapomorphy
chloroplasts in eukaryotes are from secondary or more endosymbiosis
____plants are descendants of ____ ancestors
land plants are descendants of aquatic ancestors
challenges to life for early was NOT CO2 availability bc
more CO2 in land in compared to sea
what are the advantages of being on land vs water
- more sunlight
2. increased CO2
Algae refers to early diverging plant lineage all of which are ____ aquatic
aquatic
Gluacophtes
- retain a layer of peptidoglycan = good evidence for endosymbiosis of chloroplasts
- use same pigment of cyanobacteria : chlorphyll a
Chloroplast genomes are diploid is not evidence supporting the endosymbiotic origin of the chloroplasts because?
bacteria are haploid
chloroplasts dicide by
binary fission
why is red algae red
they use phycoerythrin which has a red tint
sushi nori is red algae
t/f chlorophyll type a is an ancestral feature of plantae
T
green plants include green algae and land plants
what to they use to store energy as starch
chlorophyll b
Streptophytes
share a unique form of cell division
some spindle fibers are left and cell plates form around and creates holes when spindle goes away
holes = plasmodesmata
Embryophyte synamorphies are directly tied to the transition from life in water to life in land
4 synamorphies
1) protected embryos
2) sporopollenin : coating around spores
3) multicellular sporophyte
4) waxy cuticle
a shared feature in sexual reproduction of all eukaryotes
fusion of haploid gametes into a zygote
embryophyte = ____ plants
land plants
waxy cuticle helps with ______
desiccation
prevents water loss
t/f gametes is only and always produced by meiosis
F meiosis and mitosis
meiosis vs mitosis
meiosis has reduction in policy 2n—>n
mitosis policy stays the same n—>n
Diplontic life cycles
Draw
why is zygote not multicellular
it is one cell and multicellular is the result of the zygote dividing through mitosis
diplontic vs haplontic
if mature organism is 2n then diplontic
is mature organism is n then haplontic
all land plants share _____ life cycles
alternating life cycles
zoospores vs. spores
spores can fly through air. and have sporpollenin that reduces water loss
non-vascular plants
name the 3
bryophytes paraphyletic groups -liverworts -Moses -hornworts
whats the defining feature of bryophyte
pokilohydry = water content matches environment
bryophyte have a ______ can dry down to0% water and still survive
desiccation tolerance
bryophytes ____ true leaves. many sections are only ___ cell thick
bryophytes lack true leaves and many sections are only one cell thick
Bryophytes_____ vascular tissues : they ____ roots
lack; dont
rhizoids
“roots” in bryophytes
Mychorrizhae
bryophytes form symbiosis so that their SA expands
which bryophyte does not have a guard cell?
liverworts… they can’t regulate water loss
how does stomata work
guard cell open = photosynthesis (CO2 comes in) for guard cell to open it needs water
bryophyte is dominant gametophyte or sporophyte?
whats dependent to what?
gametophyte dominant…. sporophyte is neutron dependent to gametphyte
Archegonia
produces egg
antheridia
produces sperm
why does it have to be rainy for fertilization to happen?
sperm has to swim to the eggs then after fertilization occurs sporophyte is made
homosporous alternation of generation life cycle
only one size of spore is produced
hornworn sprophyts vs. liverworts and moss sporophyte
liverwort and moss sporophyte is only green for a few then turns brown. when brown it can’t photosynthesis
hornworts’ sporophyte is always green and has indeterminate growth
indeterminate growth
continues to grow as long as plant is alive
why are hornworts Bluegreen
bc they symbiont with cyanobacteria
sphagnum mosses
- have amazing preservative properties bc of low oxygenated high acidity
- absorption
why are algae bad “parents”
they kick out the zygote s o no embryo is made
function of sperm and egg vs. spores
sperm and egg to make spores
spores is for dispersal
roots vs shoots
root is underground shoot is above
meristems
two places
can differentiate into other cells
root and shoot
petiole
connects leaf to plant
four organs of plant body
leaves, stem, roots, flowers
nodes
stem division
auxiliary buds/meristem
when cut plant grows our
Dermal tissue
form epidermis and secrete waxy compounds
where the stomata are
vascular tissue
xylem and phloem (transport water minerals and sugar)
Ground tissue
fill in the inner space of the plant and perform metabolic storage functions
Tracheophytes
monophyletic
vascular plants
Synamorphies of vascular plants
3
-tracheids: conducts water
-true roots: anchor plants
independent
-independent sporophyte:: large dominant part that can do photosynthesis
bryophytes vs vascular plants (sporophyte)
bryophyte : gametophyte dominant
vascular plants: sporophyte dominant
sporophyte dominant adv.
more spores and more offspring
big sporophyte = increased reproduction
Rhyniophytes (vascular plants)
- extinct lineage of plants with a dichotomously bunched sporophyte and simple sporangia
- lack roots and true leaves
xylem
conducts water
connected by pits
phloem
conducts photosynthate
