Term
polytrichum
Definition
great at returning nitrogen to soil
Term
antheridia
Definition
-"male" gametangia
-produces sperm
Term
archegonia
Definition
-"female" gametangia
-produces egg
Term
sporangia
Definition
-organs on sporophyte
-produce haploid spores through meiosis
-sporopollenin in spore walls
Term
alternation of generation
Definition
-evolutionary adaptation of land plants
-first generation is gametophyte
-second generation is sporophyte
Term
fertilization
Definition
-combines gametes
-syngamy
Term
sporopollenin
Definition
-found in carophytes and land plants
-prevents desiccation
Term
why terrestrial habitat?
Definition
good! - bright sunlight, higher amounts of CO2, soil rich in nutrients, originally less pathogens and herbivore
bad! - scarcity of water (evolution of roots) lack strucutural support (vascular development)
Term
carophytes close?
Definition
petal shaped protein complexes, peroxisome enzymes, sperm with flagella, phragmoplast, dna evidence (especially in chloroplast DNA)
Term
plants and algae?
Definition
-photosynthetic autotrophs
-eukaryotes
-multicellular
-cell walls made of cellulose
-chloroplasts have chlorophyll a and b
Term
xylem
Definition
-transports water, minerals
-vessel elements, tracheids
-lignin - organic molecule, water proofs tube, kills cells
Term
phloem
Definition
-transports organic compounds (sugar, amino acids, etc)
-sieve-tube members/elements
-companion cell
Term
vessel elements
Definition
-xylem structure
-open, transports faster
-easier to block
Term
tracheids
Definition
xylem structure
-shorter
-porous
-pitted end wall
Term
sieve tube element
Definition
-phloem
-main cell is sieve tube element
-sieve tube has sieve plate
-companion cell assists sieve tube
Term
gametophyte
Definition
-haploid generation
-gametangia are where gametes are created
-archegonia female
-antheridia male
-fertilization takes place within archegonium
-syngamy creates diploid
Term
roots
Definition
absorb water/nutrients from soil
anchor plants
eveolved from lower portion of stem
Term
leaves
Definition
-increase surface area of plants
-primary photosynthetic organ
Term
microphylls
Definition
-small spine shaped leaves with single vascular system
-only lycophytes
Term
megaphylls
Definition
-leaves with highly branched vascular system
Term
sporophyte
Definition
-dominant stage of life cycle in seedless vascular plants as well as gymnosperms and angiosperms
-produce haploid spores
Term
sporophylls
Definition
-modified leaves that bear sporangia
Term
sporangia
Definition
organs that produce spores
Term
homosporous
Definition
-1 type of sporangia produces one typ eof spore
-forms bisexual gametophyte that produces both sperm and egg
-most ferns, most bryophytes
Term
sori
Definition
collection of sporangia
Term
phylum lycophyta
Definition
-spike moss, quillworts, club moss
-produced first forests
-became coal/oil
-microphyll
Term
phylum pyerophyta
Definition
-ferns, horsetails, whisk ferns
-mostly photosynthetic stem
Term
Megaspore
Definition
-large, develops into female gametophyte
-produced by megasporangia
-stays in sporophyte
Term
microspore
Definition
-small, develops into male gametophyte
-pollen
-produced by microsporangia
-leaves sporophyte
Term
ovules
Definition
-seed plant
-integument + megasporangium + megaspore/female gametophyte
-integument is specialized sporophyte leaf that traps everything in place
Term
megasporocyte
Definition
-diploid trapped inside megasporangium
-becomes four haploid megaspores through meiosis
-three die, leaving one
-megaspore becomes megegametophyte
Term
megagametophyte
Definition
female, eggs 8 cells
-egg
-antipodal cells
-synergids
-central cells
-central cells
Term
double fertilization
Definition
pollen grains (male gametophye) transferred to ovule.
-pollen grains contain 2 sperm cells and 1 tube cell
-pollen grain enters through micropyle
-1 sperm fertilizes egg, other joins with other cells and become 3n food supply
-integument becomes seed coat
Term
gymnosperm
Definition
"naked seed"
-only that form large forests
-colder climates
Term
monoecious
Definition
-male, female, same plant aka bisexual
Term
diecious
Definition
-seperate sexed plants
Term
division cycadophyta
Definition
gymnosperm
-diecious
-largely ornamental
-only US native is Zamia in Florida
-cones are also called strobulus - cluster of sporophylls
Term
division ginkgophyta

welwitchia - tropical or desert
ephedra
Term
Division coniferophyta
Definition
-conifers
-mostly monoecious

-stamens (male bits [filament (stem), anther (capsule)])
carpels (female bits [stigma (top business) style(stem), Ovary, ovule (inside ovary)])
Term
fruit
Definition
-mature ovary
-protect seeds
-aid in dispersal of seeds
-can be fleshy (tomato, nectarine) or dry (milkweed, hazelnut)
