Section 3 Diversity: Plants Flashcards
Which eukaryote super group are land plants a part of?
Archaeplastida group
Charophytes definition
it’s relation to plants and green algae
and it’s functions
Charophytes are Photosynthetic eukaryotes, many with complex multicellular bodies
Life in water:
Charophytes are a common ancestor that evolved between plants and green algae which are Charophytes
Still exists, present and is a good source of food:
1) Supportive for marine Life
2) Source of nutrients
Plants and green algae are thought to have a common ancestor called
Charophytes
What is the specific adaption of Charophytes
allowed for colonization of lands (475 million years for complete independence from water)
4 key features that allow plants to live on land (adaptations for land)
Cuticle
Vascular tissues
Lignified tissues
Sperm Dispersal
Cuticle
A key feature for Plants to adapt on land
A “door way” for water - water transport
- help with prevention water loss in plants (due to water evaporation)
What are Vascular tissues
A key feature for Plants to adapt on land
Vascular tissues are a network of thick walled cells joined into narrow tubes that spread out to through entire plant body
- They’re structure and used for nutrient transportation
- Need vascular tissue for the exchange of gases (CO2 and O2)
Lignified Tissues
A key feature for Plants to adapt on land
Example) the bark out side, or branches of tree
Sperm Disperal
A key feature for Plants to adapt on land
Starts off ass a flagellated sperm then overtime turns into a spore
Stomata are a
Structure in vascular tissue
Doorway for gas exchange (surface on leaves, a lot of them)
-> site for CO2 and O2 gas exchange (diffuse across surface)
What plants are in Non vascular plants
Liverworts, Mosses, and Hornworts
Liverworts, Mosses and hornworts are in what type of plant
Bryophytes (Non Vascular plants)
What plants are in Vascular plants
Seedless Vascular plants and Seed plants
Seedless Vascular plants: Lycophytes, Monilophytes
Seed vascular plants: Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
Haplodiplontic
A characterstic for general plant cycles alternation of generation
- Haploid, diploid alternation
- the diploid and haploid stages are distinct mutlicellular bodies
Explain the General plant cycles and the Haplodiplontic process
Haploid Gametes (Sperm and Egg)
- goes through fertilization to form…
Diploid Zygote (fertilized egg)
- goes through mitosis and development to form
Diploid Sporophyte (fertilized)
- Goes through meiosis to form..
Haploid Spores
- Goes through mitosis to form…
Haploid Gametophyte
- Goes through mitosis to form …
Haploid Gamete (Sperm and egg)
Chromsome set of Gametes and it goes through what process in the Plant life cycle
Haploid
Sperm and egg
goes through fertilization to form Zygote
Chromsome set of Zygote and it goes through what process in the Plant life cycle
Diploid
Goes through mitosis and development to form Sporophyte (2n)
Chromsome set of Sporophyte and it goes through what process in the Plant life cycle
Diploid
Made by zygote from mitosis and development
Goes through meiosis to form Spores (n)
Chromsome set of Spores and it goes through what process in the Plant life cycle
Haploid
Made by the sporophyte (2n) from meiosis
Mitosis and development to form gametophyte (n)
Chromsome set of Gametophyte plant and it goes through what process in the Plant life cycle
Haploid
Made by spores from mitosis and development
Goes through mitosis to form sperm and egg (both haploid
Chromsome set of Gamete and it goes through what process in the Plant life cycle
Haploid
Sperm and Egg
Made by gametophyte plant (n) by mitosis
Goes through fertilization to form Zygote (2n)
Chromsome set of Zygote and it goes through what process in the Plant life cycle
Diploid
Made by fertilization from gametes (egg and sperm)
Goes through mitosis and development to form sporophyte (2n)
What does the Sporophyte body contain?
contains Three organ systems (2 above ground, 1 below ground)
- Above ground: Stem (shoots) and leaves (spore producing structure)
- Below ground: roots
Sporophyte body contains vascular tissues (Diploid body)
waxy cuticle (hydrophobic characteristic - wat makes water droplets on leaves)
Genderless (No gender)
What is the characteristic of the waxy cuticle of the sporophyte body
Hydrophobic characteristic ex) water droplets on leaves of the plant
What are the 3 organ systems of the sporophyte body?
2 above ground and 1 below ground
Above ground: stem (shoots) and leaves (spore producing structure)
below ground: roots
Gamteophytes chromosome number, characteristics and gender names
Multicellular (diploid)
Haploid (if they have): spores and Gametes - recall plant life cycle
Gametangia
Female: Archegonia
Male: Antheridia
Male gametangia name
Antheridia
