Plants ( growth) animals (growth)
Mosses
Gametophyte, have no vascular tissue, are flagellated sperm, method of offspring dispersal is spores blown by the wind.
Fern
Sporophyte, do have a vascular tissue, are flagellated sperm and offspring dispersal by spores blown by the wind
Nonvascular plants are called the "amphibians of the plant kingdom" why?
because they need water for mobility to be able to reproduce along with helpin with growth.
Are ferns better adapted to land environment than mosses?
YES
How do both mosses and ferns disperse offspring?
Mosses-sperm that swim to the female
Ferns-wind blown spores
How is the gametophyte in ferns similar to that of mosses?
both have male and female parts
Sporophytes keep growing in ferns and die in mosses
Why is it beneficial to have the sporophyte generation dominant in vascular plants?
it makes plants more adaptable to land .
Two differences between the life cycle of seedless vascular plants and seed plants
sporangia and spores
What comes after the female megaspore
female gametophyte
What comes after male microspore
male gametophyte (pollen grains)
What comes after gametophyte
sporophyte
Conifer have
Sporophyte, vascular tissue,disperse seeds and do not have a fruit
Flowering plants
sporophyte, vascular tissue, disperse seeds and do produce fruit
Location of the microsporangia in the pine?
male cones
Location of the microsporangia in the flowering plant
the anther
location of the megasporangia in the pine
female cone
Location of the megasporangia in the flowering plant
ovaries
Where is the female gametophyte of the pine at?
inside the seed pod
Name two aspects of the flowering plant?
double fertilization and makes fruit
What happens in Pollination
pollen is distributed by the wind or by the bug lighting on the plant and getting the pollen on them an going on to the next plant thus spreading the pollen to the next pant
What happens in fertilization
requires the fertilization between an egg and a sperm, the come in contact and crate a zygote thus result in offspring.
Monocots
one cotyledon, flower parts in threes or multiples of three, usually herbaceous, usually parallel venation, scattered bundles in stem, never woody
Eudicots
two cotyledons, flower plants in four or five or multiples of four or five, woody or herbaceous, usually net venation, vascular bundles in a ring and can be woody.
Two advantages of having a coelom
1) the digestive system and body wall cam move independently
2) coelomic fluid can assist respiration, circulation and excretion
What is protostome
the molluscs, annelids and arthropods are protostome, animals in which the first embryonic opening becomes the mouth.
Deuterostome
are the echinoderms and the vertebrates, the first opening is related to the anus, and the second is the mouth
What are the general characteristics of molluscus?
1) they are marine animals, have three part body consisting of a ventral, muscular foot a visceral mass and a mantle.
What moves the clam
a muscular foot,
What moves the Squid
by jet propulsion of water
Compare cephalization (head) in Nereis to that of an earthworm
the earthworm do not have a head, the nereis does.
Respiratory system of a crawfish is
gills
Grasshopper's respiratory system is
an opening in the abdomen that allows the passage of o2 to go directly into the blood
Explain Coelom
is what distinguishes animals in their body cavity, acoelomates have not body cavity, the pseudocoelomates do have a body cavity
DIgestive system of the clam
filters, feed on debris that enters the mantle cavity
Digestive system of the earthworm
feed on decaying organic matter in the soil, have a developed coelomic cavity
Digestive system of the Starfish
uses their tube feet to force the shells to open an crack
Closed circulatory system
Frog carries blood to and from the heart
Respiratory organ
Pig, makes it possible for the animal to live on land by exchange of oxygen to carbon dioxide
Brain and nerve cord
Crawfish, gives the animal the ability to process information,the nerve cord gives them the ability to have control of their bodies form one end to the other.
Jointed appendages
Grasshoppers, gives better mobility
Exoskeleton
Crawfish, gives protection to the animal holds its internal organs in a safer container.
Water vascular system of echinoderms
it is their most unique feature in those in which the arm make contract with the substratum, the tube feet associate with the water vascular system are used from locomotion., In others, the tube feed are used for gas exchange adn food gathering.
What are the four characteristics of all chordates?
Dorsal tubular nerve cord
a dorsal supporting rod,
post anal tail
pharyngeal pouches that become gill slits
why isn't a lancelet a vertebrate
it does not have a skeletal structure
Which classes of vertebrates are fully adapted to life on land
Mammalia and Avers
In a frog?
metamorphosis occurs, changing from a tadpole to a frog, and the ability to breath and live on land but have to return to water to reproducer.
The giottis allows air to enter the
lungs
The esophagus allows food to enter the
stomach
The cloaca receives material from the
intestine, the reproductive system and the urinary system
Sperm reach the cloaca by way of the
Large intestine
What is the major difference between the heart of a frog and that of a pig?
a frog has three chambers and a pig has four
A pulmonary circuit is seen in vertebrate animals adapted to life on land how?
is the part of the heart system that carries oxygen from the heart to the lungs and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart
What is the major difference between the respiratory system of a perch Gills and that of the skin of a frog, a pigeon and a pigs lungs?
Gills,(perch) water moves over the gills and the fishes body takes out the oxygen out of the water.
Frog, takes the oxygen through its skin and processes it
Pigeon, delivers oxygen from the air to the tissues and removes carbon dioxide
Pig, takes oxygen in through its nose into tis lungs processing and delivering it through out its body via the blood and exhales carbon dioxide
