    4.multicellular gametangia
    5.apical meris
37
Q

whats the difference of haploid and diploid

A

haploid have once complete set of chromosomes while diploid has two. to conceptualize think of parents reproduction. dads sperm is a haploid and moms egg is as well. they combine and create me basically a diploid.

38
Q

bryophyte is diverse and the first lineage of land plants contains what 3 living lineages

A

mosses, hornworts, liverworts

39
Q

how does mitosis and meiosis differ?

A

mitosis is the division of cells and making identical daughter cells with same amount of chromosome as parent; usually associated with asexual reproduction

meiosis is associated with sexual reproduction and it involves taking mom and dad cells and combining them and dividing them into two groups. The cells then intermingle and then they get divided again and make diversity

40
Q

in bryophytes what is the dominant life stage? Haploid or diploid

haploid

41
Q

Q

What are Apical meristems?

A

Q

what is the first vascular land plant?

cooksonia

45
Q

in terms of plants what is dichotomous branching-

A

branches split into two equal parts

46
Q

what are lycophytes?

A

reproduce using spores and are seedless and have ability to grow tall and have no true leaves. They are also known as lycopods

47
Q

true or false meiosis is the only way to produce gametes?

A

False

48
Q

would it be true to say that the diploid phase is the multicellular phase for all eukaryotes.

A

false

49
Q

Eukaryotes having a multicellular haploid and diploid phase is an example of what?

Alternation of generations

50
Q

in sexual reproduction in land plants-
multicellular haploid phase is for——-
multicellular diploid phase is for——-

T/F all eukaryotes produce gametes through meiosis

A

False there are some exceptions like some fungi and protists

53
Q

T/F all land plant cells have a nucleus and mitochondria

A

54
Q

land plants- cell structure what are the 6 major features VNM CCC

A

vacuole
nucleus
mitochondrion
chloroplast
cell membrane
cell wall

55
Q

what are the tissues for long distance transport

A

xylem- water and nutrient support
- directional and goes from soil to leaves
-composed of dead cells
phloem-sugar transport
- tissue used to move sugars produced in leaves to stems and roots

56
Q

define a tracheophyte

A

plants with vascular tissue, roots, stems, and leaves with stomata. The sporophyte generation is dominant

57
Q

what is a stomata?

A

a pore that helps regulate water and gas exchange. They open when they need to take in CO2 for photosynthesis and close to conserve water

58
Q

what made the evolution of the cooksonia so important

A

first land plant with erect stems and a vascular system

59
Q

What phase do terrestrial land plants possess

A

haploid and diploid phase

60
Q

microspore vs a megaspore

A

a microspore develops into a male gametophyte while a megaspore develops into a female gametophyte

61
Q

do gametophytes in heterosporous plants photosynthesize

A

they do not and they are not free lving

62
Q

major photosynthetic organ of bryophytes is composed of diploid cells while gymnosperms is haploid cells

A

False bryophyte is composed of haploid

63
Q

stomata first appeared in the sporophyte generation of….

A

gymnosperms

64
Q

what lineages of vascular plants possess roots, stems, and leaves with stomata

A

ferns, gymnosperms, angiosperms

65
Q

list the 5 important thing about angiosperms
seeds
flower formation
leaf type
vascular tissue
diversity

A

seed enclosure- produce seeds enclosed in a fruit

the following lineages of land plants are the only lineages that possess a free living, multicellular, photosynthetic gametophyte

A

Bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns

66
Q

list 5 important things about gymnosperms
seeds
flower formation
leaf type
vascular tissue
diversity

A

seeds usually on scales or cones
produce cones or strobili
needle/scale like leaves
have tracheids and lack vessels
less diverse and found in colder climates

66
Q

is it alternating generation for a chlorophyte to reproduce via haploid gametes which later fuse to form a single celled diploid zygote.

A

No because chloroplasts are dominant haploid so dont go through the diploid cycle

67
Q

what pollinators are generally associated with bright colored flowers

A

bees and butterflies

67
Q

what are adjustments heterospory and seeds have made?

A

removed the direct reliance on external water for sexual reproduction
new sporophyte can travel far distances away from the parent plant

67
Q

what doe angiosperms and gymnosperms have in common?

A

male pollen
heterosporous life cycles
both produce seeds

68
Q

what is dispersal syndrome?

A

A set of traits evolved for a specific method of dispersal

68
Q

whats benefit of moving from parents

A

being closer to parent plant - less survival
less competition when farther away

68
Q

what are adjustments flowers and fruits made

A

reduced reliance on wind for pollination
greater capacity for dispersal of new sporophyte

69
Q

what are the 5 dispersal mechanisms

A

gravity,
ballistic- way for seeds to be thrown naturally
wind- seeds/fruit generally have adaptation to facilitate flight
water- carrying things like coconuts
animal- fleshy fruits are usually dispersed by animal ingestion and excreted

70
Q

what are the dispersal strategies and what do they do?

A

serotiny- strategy by plants to release seeds following a fire event
vivipary-germinating while still attached to parent plant

71
Q

what are mycotrophic plants-

A

plants that obtain nutrients and organic molecules entirely from fungi

72
Q

there are two parasitic plants holoparasite and hemiparasite what are they?

A

holoparasite- a plant that gets all nutrients from host and has no chlorplast
hemiparasite- a plant that obtain nutrients and a portion of its organic molecules from host but have a chloroplast so can photosynthesize on their own.

73
Q

what are root nodules-

A

nitrogen fixing bacteria

74
Q

what is mychorrhizal fungi

A

mutualistic association between fungi and vascular plant root

75
Q

the male multicellular gametophyte in seed plants is called a_____ or a ______

A

microgametophyte or pollen grain

76
Q

between bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns which has a complex vascular system

A

none the correct answer is seed plants including gymnosperms and angiosperms

77
Q

carnivorous plants are generally found in environments characterized by

A

low nitrogen availability they capture small insects to supplement scarce nitrogen availability

78
Q
A
79
Q

Most eukaryotes are unicellular (composed of a single cell) T/F ?

A

True they are mainly unicellular containing one singular cell, this is true for archaea and bacteria. These eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles and this can occur in Archaea and bacteria.
