Term
Identify the four main taxa of living gymnosperms
Definition
coniferophyta, gnetophyta, ginkgophyta, and cycadophyta
Term
which plants have secondary growth?
Definition
gymnosperms and angiosperms
Term
which plants have gametophyte dependent on sporophyte?
Definition
gymnosperms and angiosperms
Term
which plant has sporophyte dependent on gametophyte
Definition
moss and charophytes(green algae)
Term
which species have archegonium
Definition
charophyte, moss, fern, some gymnosperms
Term
sporophyll
Definition
the equivalent to a leaf in ferns and mosses that bears the sporangia(produces spores)
Term
what species are heterosporous
Definition
seed plants and ferns
Term
what is double fertilization and what groups undergo this process?
Definition
angiosperms do this. 2 sperm cells fertilize the egg forming 1 diploid zygote and 1 triploid endosperm which serves as food source for zygote.
Term
which groups use pollen?
Definition
agiosperms and gymnosperms
Term
dominant sporophyte stage
Definition
ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms
Term
which groups contain sporophylls?
Definition
ferns and gymnosperms
Term
seed plants with flagellated sperm
Definition
cycads and ginkgo.. reprsents a transition from water dependent perm transfer of non seed plants and the nonmotile sperm of the rest of the seed plants
Term
gymnosperm cone
Definition
strobilus (mega or micro depending on sex)
Term
special characteristic of reproductive ginkgophyta
Definition
ginkgo lacks female cones but has paired ovules on the tip of the branch
Term
staminate
Definition
male cone in conifers.. produces microsporphylls which created winged microspores which divide by mitosis into pollen grains (these look like mickey mouse)
Term
ovulate cones
Definition
female cone in pinus species (conifers) produces megaspores that will form female gametophytes were eggs develop.. depend on sporophyte for nutrition and support
Term
monocot leaf venation
Definition
parallel, sometimes pinnate
Term
dicot leaf venation
Definition
usually netted
Term
monocot herbaceous stem
Definition
vascular bundles scattered
Term
eudicot herbaceous stem
Definition
vascular bundles in rings
Term
woody stems are found in
Definition
eudicot species of angiosperms.. and gymnosperms
Term
monocot roots
Definition
usually fibrous; xylem in cylinder, pith in the middle[image]
Term
eudicot root
Definition
usually taproot; lobed core of xylem[image]
Term
3 types of ground tissue
Definition
parenchyma (bulk of plant, photosynthetic) collenchyma (supports young parts of plant) and sclerenchyma (supports mature areas)
Term
Parenchyma
Definition
compromises the bulk of the tissue.. photosynthetic[image]
