plants Flashcards
what are bryophytes included
mosses, hornworts, liveworts
desribe the bryophyte gametangia
- gametangia are structures that pack gametes.
- antherida produces and stores male games
- archegonium produces and stores female gametes.
- allow fertilization
what are tracheophytes
the first ever vascular plants
what are homosporous plants
ferns are homosporous plants in that they produce a single spore that gives rise to a bisexual gametophytes.
heterosporous plants what are they
heterosporous plants produce two types of spores, some yield male gametophytes(microspores) and females (megaspores)
- what is the first major seed plant to emerge
- are they homosporous
- how do they transport sperm
- what is pollen
- what is major division
*
the first major seed plant to emerge was gymnosperm
plants are heterosporous
and transport sperm through pollen, the male gametophyte
conifers
what is the interesting eveolutionary change fro gymnosperm to angiosperm
tha adaptation of the xylem
In gymnosperm, the xylem cells are the tracheid cells
where in the angiosperms, they are the vessel elements.
anther what is the job
Carpel: what is ovary style and stigma
Petals
anther produces pollen
stigma recieves pollen and style is the pathway leading to the ovary
structures that serve to attract pollinators
chlorophytes what are they
the green algae and they hace enough evidence to show that they are common ancestors of modern plants
