Seedless Plants Flashcards
All plants share what primary trait
endosymbiosis of chloroplasts
What are the broadest groups in the kingdom plantae
glaucophytes/Red Algae/ Green Plants
A green plant uses light from the sun, water from the soil, and then take co2 from the atmoshpher to fuel photosytesis. Chloroplats contain pigments called….
Chlorophyllsls
What kind of ligth does chlorophy absorb
blue and red
The light absoerbed will then be turned into
chemical energy
what are glaucophytes
are microscopic freshwater algae
why are chloroplasts unique
They are unique because it contains a small amount of peptidoglycan between the inner and outer membrane
Are red algae uni or multicellular
almost all red algae is multicellular
Where does red algae get its color from
Red algae gets its color from the accessory photosynthetic pigment called phycoerythrin
Do red algae always appear red
no
Where is the accessory photosynthetic pigment phycoerythrin found
found within the chloroplasts
Green algae have similarities to …
land plants
We know that green algae have similarities to land plants because of their chloroplasts. Explain the three ways why they are similar due to the chloroplasts.
1.) contain both chlorophyll a and b
2.) similar arrangements of thylakoids - internal =, membrane-bound sacs in chloroplasts
3.) Synthesize starch as a storage
We know that green algae have similarities to land plants because of their chloroplasts. What are the other ways why they are similar to land plants
Green algae also have similar cell walls, sperm, and peroxisomes structures and composition as land plants have
There’s a hypothesis that land plants evolved from ___ ___ in freshwater habitats.
green algae
true or false: Most Green algae have chlorophytes
true
what are chlorophytes
Chlorophytes include most green algae, which is more than 17,000 species
where can you find chlorophytes
You can find chlorophytes in most aquatic fresh water with some being marine. However, there are a few found in moist environments
What is the size of a chlorophyte
Chlorophytes range in size from microscopic to unicellular forms to multicellular forms
We know that some chlorophytes are unicellular. What does unicellular chlorophytes form?
They form colonies, which exhibit varying levels of cellular division
Streptophytes include the group green algae and land plants. What group do they exclude
they exclude chlorophytes
We know that green algae are similar to land plants. What are the two closest relatives of similar land plants
Coleochaetophytes and stoneworts
