alternation of generations
plants and algae have alternating diploid and haploid generations
sporophyte
multicellular diploid generation
gametophyte
multicellular haploid generation
how do sporophytes reproduce?
sporophyte produces spores, which divide mitotically to produce a gametophyte which produces haploid gametes that form a sporophyte zygote
fundamental alternation of generations same in all
macroalgae and land plants
spores
haploid cells produced by sporophyte
3 groups of algae
stramenopiles
rhodophyta
chlorophyta
stramenopiles
monophyletic group where members of the group have a flagellum covered with distinctive hollow hairs at some point in the life cycle
2 common groups of stramenopiles
diatoms
phaeophyta (brown algae)
carotenoid
members of stramenopiles have it
accessory photosynthetic pigments which contribute to their yellow or brownish color
rhodophyta
red algae
phycobilins
pigments that contribute to rhodophyta's pink or red color
chlorophyta
green algae
embryophytes
Kingdom Plantae
land plants
first to colonize terrestrial environments
mosses called liverworts
cuticle
waxy cover that slows desiccation
gametangia
an organ or cell in which gametes are produced
embryos
young sporophytes drawing nutrition fromt he mother plant
spore walls
protects spores
mutualistic association with fungi
aids in nutrient uptake from the substrate
when did algae-like plants first colonize the land?
early paleozoic area, probably around 460 million years ago
mosses lack
vascular tissue and hard material found embedded in cell walls
ferns
most diverse of four phyla of seedless vasuclar plants
ferns have developed
vascular system (with xylem to transport water and minerals and phloem to transport products of photosynthesis)
cuticle
belowground anchoring
water absorbing systems
aerial photosynthtic structures
lignin (hard chemical in cell wall)
legacy of domination of ferns
coal deposits of Eurasia and N. America
greatest diversity of ferns in
the tropics, but they can form a dominant component of understory flora of temperate forests
fern life cycle: which is larger (sporophyte or gametophyte)
sporophyte

reproductive organs are gathered in clusters on the undersides of leaves

gametophyte is free-living
moss life cycle: which is lager (sporophyte or gametophyte)
gametophyte

sporophyte is dependent
antheridium
structure where small, motile male gametes are produced
archegonium
structure in which larger, non-motile female gametes are produced
stomata
specialized pores on the underside of the fern leaf
pore
the space between two guard cells

pressure can be altered to allow stoma to open or close
ovule
female gametophyte with egg
pollen grain
miniature male gametophyte enclosed within waxy spore wall
seed
egg fertilized to form zygote package
conifers
gymnosperms belonging to the largest group of cone-bearing trees
pollen tube
slender extension delivering sperm near egg
angiosperms
male and female gametes produced within flowers
outer parts of angiosperms
sepals and petals
stamens
pollen-producing structures consisting of stalk (filament) and another (containing pollen grain)
pistil
female reproductive structure with ovary enclosing an ovule, a cylindrical style and a sticy stigma tip
double fertilization
one sperm fertilizes the egg forming a diploid zygote and other sperm cell unites with two other nuclei forming a triploid structure called endosperm
endosperm
functions as food reserve for developing embryo
disk flowers/central flowers
radially symmetrical and usually bisexual
marginal flowers/ ray flowers
one side distended into a petal-like structure and usually only contain pistils
pollination syndrome
coevolved relationship between plant and animal groups
