Key concepts
|
-Green plants include both green algae and land plants.
-adaptations to dry land -efficient reproduction adaptations |
|
|
adaptations to dry land:
Prevent water loss Transport water from tissues with acess to water to tissues without |
Cuticle: keeps water and CO2 out
Stomata: pores with guardcells for gas excahnge Vascular tissue: erect stems (no fighting for sunlight) and transport water |
|
|
Vascular tissue
|
Tracheids: have gaps in secondary wall
Vessel elements: no cell walls |
|
|
Lignin
|
structural polymer built from 6-C rings for support and strength in vascular tissue
|
|
|
gametangia
|
protect gametes from drying and damage (all but angiosperms have these)
|
|
|
alteration of generations
|
GAMETOPHYTE (N) -mitosis-> GAMETES (N) -fertilization-> ZYGOTE (2N) -mitosis-> SPOROPHYTE (2N) -meiosis-> SPORES (N) -mitosis-> GAMETOPHYTE
|
|
|
Heterospory (only in seed plants)
|
MALE SPORES: microsporangia --> microspore --> male gametophyte (pollen grain) --> sperm
FEMALE: megasporangia --> megaspore --> female gametophyte --> eggs |
|
|
How does evolution of POLLEN help
|
lose dependence on water for fertilization
|
|
|
how does evolution of SEEDS help
|
can disperse embryos away from parent (efficient reproduction)
|
|
|
how does evolution of FLOWER help
|
allows successful geographical distribution
