Water To Land Flashcards
What are some challenges on land?
Desiccation Respiration Reproduction Locomotion Senses
How is desiccation a challenge on land?
Need to evolve a protection from drying out( coat or skin that prevents body fluids from evaporating)
Example is cuticle in plants- cuticle accumulates more on the top
How is respiration a challenge on land?
In water dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanges. Organisms will now need to breathe
Stomata
Lungs
How is reproduction a challenge on land?
In water and egg and sperm are released in h20, must now reproduce under desiccating conditions. ( alternation of generations/ evolution of amniotes)
How is locomotion a challenge on land?
New structures
How are senses a challenge on land?
Changes in light sound and smell
Trachieds and vessels?
Evolution of vascular tissue
Types of xylem
Gymnosperms- trachieds
Angiosperms- tracheids and vessels
Root system evolution
Algae float in water and have holdfasts(root like rhizoids-for anchoring only)
Roots ,,?
Haploid=_________
Diploid=________
In alteration of generations
Gametophyte
Sporophyte
Haploid n( one copy of genome) Gametophyte produces\_\_\_
Gametes
