and it’s functions

A

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:

A

Bryophytes (nonvascular plants)

35
Q

Non vascular plants characteristics

A

Gameteophyte dominants
- photosynthetic
- depend on sporophyte
Most habitats (sperm)

36
Q

Bryophytes life cycle

A

Aka no vascular plants

Male gametangium sperm (haploid) goes into female gametangium egg (haploid) fertilization (meiosis) happens then forms

Zygote (2n)
Develops forming gametophyte body and sporophyte body
Then goes into meiosis to form…

Spores (n)
Goes under mitosis and development into gametophyte plants (male and female) then

Gametophyte plants (n)
go under mitosis to form Male gametangium (haploid) and female gametangium (haploid)

37
Q

Which stages are meiosis in the Bryophytes cycle

A

Fertilization occurs b/w Male and female gametangium to form:
Zygote (2n):
Which Develops forming gametophyte body and sporophyte body

38
Q

Which stages are mitosis in the Bryophytes cycle

A

1) Spores (n)
Goes under mitosis and development into gametophyte plants (n) then…

2) Gametophyte plants (n)
go under mitosis to form Male gametangium (haploid) and female gametangium (haploid) which then the sperm and egg go under fertilization

39
Q

Seedless vascular plants include what groups of vascular plants?

A

Lycophytes (haploid) and Monilophytes

40
Q

Club mosses and fern are examples of

A

lycophytes (haploid) - Vascular plants

41
Q

Examples of lycophytes

A

examples of lycophytes are Club mosses (small and grow close to ground, small predecessors of leaves microphyls) and ferns

42
Q

Seed less vascular plants characteristics

A

They are sporophyte dominant
- lignified (branches) vascular tissue
- independent gametophyte

Apical meristem - primary growth

Moist habitats - sperm

43
Q

Apical meristem is

A

primary growth-producing regions of cell division of seedless vascular plants (lycophtes and monilophytes)

44
Q

Club mosses and fern are examples of

A

lycophytes

45
Q

Mosses and worts (liverworts and hornworts) are examples of

A

Bryophytes (nonvascular plants)

46
Q

Explain Monilophytes life cycle stages

A

Zygote goes under mitosis and development into a
Mature sporophyte (clusters or sporangia) and mature sporophyte release spores
spores go under mitosis and development into gametophyte plant and gametophtye plant goes under mitosis where the sperm of the
male gametangium go into the female gametangium
fertilization occurs and turns into zygote

47
Q

The haploid generation of a plant that produces gametes is called

A

gametophyte

48
Q

The diploid generation of a plant that produces spores is called

A

Sporophyte

49
Q

What is the major difference between the moss and fern life cycle (Bryophytes and Moniophytes cycle)

A

In mosses the dominant body is the gametophyte dependant on sporophyte
- they are photosynthetic

in ferns the sporophyte is dominant and independant of the gamteophyte (don’t grow as tall or sturdy as vascular tissue because they dont have vascular tissue that supports
- they have lignified vascular tissue

50
Q

Plants are

A

Plants are a part of the Eukaryote super group, archaeplastida

51
Q

What are spores

A

single cell (1n)

52
Q

Seeds are..

A

Embryonic sporophyte
nutrient source
protective seed coat
Can stay dormant till the time is right avoid harsh conditions

53
Q

Differentiate between gymnosperms and angiosperms

A

gymnosperms are naked seed conifers

Angiosperms are enclosed seeds and they are flowering plants

Both are vascular plants and are seed producing which allow for more tolerance to the enviornment (can live in drier habitat) - disperse pollens, and both are sporophyte dominant (dependant on gametophyte)

54
Q

What are gymnosperms

A

earliest seed plants
naked seeds (gymno = naked in latin) - not specialized in chambers
- cone bearing conifers (earliest clades of gymnosperms)
ex. of gymnosperms that are less common:cycads and ginko

Sporophyte dominant
- dependant on gametophyte
- produce pollen

Consitutes of the biggest and oldest plants

55
Q

What are angiosperms

A

Derived seed plants
- seed within fruits - with protective chambers
- Grasses, hebaceous plants, flowering shrubs trees

Sporophyte dominant
- dependant on gametophyte
- pollen

56
Q

Due to evolutionary advantage what happens to angiosperms in regards to flowers and fruits?

A

Angiosperms are thriving due to evolutionary change (natural selection is the key to adapt better)
flowers - pollination via animals or wind
Fruits - seed dissemination

57
