Plants undergo alternation of generations. T/F
True
Plants contain this for producing energy
Chloroplasts
What does an organism do if it undergoes alternation of generations?
They have a diploid sporophyte, which produces spores, followed by a haploid gametophyte, which produces gametes.
There are close to ____ different species of plants.
300,000
Plant classification is based mostly on what?
Their degree of independence from water for reproduction and the stage (generation) that dominates most of their life cycle.
Most plant chloroplasts are structured in this way
Thylakoid membranes in stacks called grana, containing chlorophyll A and B.

35,000
The sporophyte stage of avascular plants is _____ and dependent on the _____ for its nutritional needs.
reduced, gametophyte
Avascular plants reproduce this way
asexual reproduction by fragmentation and spore dispersal
Sexual reproduction in bryophytes requires what? Why?
Water, so the flagellated sperm cell can swim successfully to the female reproductive organ and fertilize the egg.

A large independent sporophyte, which is commonly visible. The gametophyte, while photosynthetic, is almost microscopic.
Ferns
Classify
D. Pterophyta

Classify
D. Sphenophyta
Gametangium
Organ or cell in which gametes are produced
Antheridium
Structure or organ of the gametophyte phase of certain plants which produce and contain spermatids or male gametes. Present in lower plants such as mosses and ferns.
Sporangium
Plant/fungal structure producing and containing spores. Occur in angiosperms, gymnosperms, ferns, mosses, algae and fungi.
Archegonium
Multicellular structure or organ in the gametophyte phase of certain plants producing and containing the ovum of the female gamete. Has a long neck and swollen base.
These plants present overwhelming dominance of the sporophyte stage throughout their life cycles.
Seeded vascular plants
These plants show independence from water for reproduction
Seeded vascular plants
These plants sperm is not flagellated
Seeded vascular plants
Seeded vascular plants are divided into two major groups called
Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
Angiosperms have more than ____ species
250,000
