Vascular seedless plants Flashcards
What makes a plant vascular
Presence of xylem and phloem
4 types of vascular seedless plants
equisitophyta (horsetails), lycodiophyta (lycopods), psilophyta (whisk ferns), pteridophyta (ferns)
Equisetophyta
horsetails
lycophyta
lycopods
psilophyta
whisk ferns
pteridophyta
ferns
How do nonvascular plants reproduce
via spores not seeds
What is the dominant generation in vascular seedless
sporophyte
what is the second way to classify vascular seedless
lycophytes vs monilophytes
what is classified under lycophytes
club moss, spike moss, quillworts
What is classified under monilophytes
ferns, horsetails, whisk ferns
Which is most advanced vascular seedless
monilophytes
What type of sperm do vascular seedless have
flagellated
Where are vascular seedless found
moist environments needs water for flagellated sperm
What is well developed in vascular seedless
True roots and shoots
Two names for for ferns
Pteridophyta, polypodiopsida
Two names for horsetails
equisetophyta, arthrophyta
Two types of true leaves
Microphylls vs megaphylls
Which type of leaf is most primitive
microphylls
Features of microphylls
Clusters of sporangia, single vein, growth directly from stem
Where are microphyll leaves found
ONLY in club mosses/lycophytes and horsetails, most primitive
Features of megaphylls
Develop from branches forming on stem, multi vein, attached to stem by petiole
What is a bisexual plant
monoecious
