practical 2 Flashcards
common features to kingdom plantae: 5
- multicell
- eukaryotic
- autotrophic
- cellulose in cell walls
- alternation of generations
mode of nutrition for kingdom plantae
chemoautotrophic
photosynthesis using chloroform
______ plants have xylem and phloem for transport
vascular
________ plants LACK transport tissues, rely on diffusion
non-vascular
The presence of xylem and phloem for transporting water, minerals, and sugars
is what in plants?
vascularization
4 main plant groups
which one is nonvascular?
- bryophytes (NON-v)
- pteridophytes (v)
- gymnosperms (v)
- angiosperms (v)
this is the molecule that gives plant cell walls the support they need
cellulose
flower parts: 5
- sepal
- petal
- anther
- stigma
- ovary
sepal: purpose
protect the bud
petal: purpose
attract pollinators
anther: purpose
produces pollen
what are their -phytes and -sperms names
- mosses
- ferns
- conifers
- flowering plants
- bryophytes
- pteridophytes
- gymnosperms
- angiosperms
stigma: purpose
receives the pollen
ovary: purpose
contains ovule and becomes the fruit
seed parts: 3
- seed coat
- cotyledon
- embryo
seed coat: purpose
protect the seed
cotyledon: purpose
stores the nutrients and supports development of embryo
embryo: purpose
develops into new plant
seed dispersal: wind
dandelion (fluffly light)
maple seed (wings and spins)
seed dispersal: water
coconut and water lily seeds (float)
seed dispersal: animal
berries (eaten and secreted – Chinese Privett)
sweetgum seeds (hooks and cling to fur)
unrelated species evolve similar traits
(dolphin and shark fins)
this is called what?
convergent evolution
one species evolves into many diverse forms
(Darwin’s finches)
this is called what?
adaptive radiation
basic features of kingdom animalia
- multicell
- eukaryotic
- heterotrophic (ingest food except sponges)
- no cell walls
