The Colonization Of Land By Plants And Fungi Flashcards
What’s one huge difference between plants and fungi
Plants are photosynthetic photoautrophic and fungi are heterotrophs
How are humans plants fungi and charophyte algae related
Charophyte algae are sister taxa while fungi and animals are sister taxa
What does a fungus grow out of or on
It grows on its food compared to a plant which makes its food. It lives on its food in order to digest it and get the nutrients it need to survive. The fungus secretes enzymes out of its body on the food to break down the molecules so they are small enough to. E absorbed by the funguses body. Similar to animals
Why are we called animals
Movement like animate. Animals are animated organisms to obtain their food
Do humans put food into their body
No
Food is put into the Alimentary canal which is the tube from mouth to anus. And I’m the tube is still outside of the body because the food doesn’t go into the cells. Digestive enzymes are secreted out of the body to break down the food and absorbed the small enough molecules. Similar to a fungus
What are the two groups of algae and which is closest related to plants
There are chlorophyte algae and charophyte and charophyte is most closely related
Evidence that charophyte algae and plants are sister taxa?
Protein complexes that are ring like that act as molecular machines. Both charophyte and plants have cell wall. Both are made of cellulose
Strings of structural glucose monosaccharides
Ring like protein complex exports the glucose structural sacharides to outside cell to make cell wall
What are the two processes that make one an organisms life cycle.
Fertilization
Meiosis
What is fertilization
Fusion of two u unicellular gametes to produce one unicellular zygote
It doubles the ploidy
What is ploidy
How many of each type of chromosomes you have
Why was sex successful
Because it drastically increases the genetic variability of each offspring
May make the offspring more fit to their environment
What un does the doubling of the ploidy
Meiosis and fertilization doubles it
What do all sexual species have i. Terms of their stages of ploidy
A haploid stage and diploid stage
Fungi live their adult life as haploid or diploid
Haploid. Their cells are haploid of their body
The gametes will creat a zygot that immediately undergoes meiosis that then grow from there
Alternation of generation
Only for plants. The haploid stage and the diploid stage are multicellular. The sporophyte is the diploid stage
The gametophytes is the haploid stage
Bryophytes
Easily see the gametophyte generation and the sporophyte generation
They are very small moss sporophyte on top supported by the gametophyte
Why can’t cells get indefinitely big
Because of the surface area to volume ratio. The more volume you have the less surface there is to exchange enough materials for that much volume. Volume increases faster than surface area
