monoeciuos
|
both male and female parts are in the same individual
|
|
dioecous
|
male and female parts are in seperate individuals
|
|
ovule
|
female gametophyte and egg cell within it
|
|
integument
|
maternal sporophyte tissue
|
|
tracheids
|
gaps in their secondary cell walls that helps transport water throughout plants
|
|
transpiration
|
force that forces water up through stem of plant
|
|
lignin
|
organic substance that, with cellulose, forms the chief part of woody tissue.
|
|
fiber cells
|
long sylem cells with thick lignified secondary walls specialized for strictly a support function
|
|
parenchyma cells
|
living, nucleate, and unspecialized cells
|
|
sieve tube elements
|
living tublar shaped cells but lack a nucleus
|
|
cambium
|
layer of delicate meristematic tissue between the inner bark or phloem and the wood or xylem, which produces new phloem on the outside and new xylem on the inside in stems, roots, etc., originating all secondary growth in plants and forming the annual rings of wood
|
|
vascular bundles
|
arrangement of strands of xylem and phloem, and sometimes cambium, that forms the fluid-conducting channels of vascular tissue in the rhizomes, stems, and leaf veins of vascular plants, the arrangement varying with the type of plant.
|
|
phloem vs. xylem
|
phloem: conducts sugars/ organic compunds from leaves to rest ofplant
sylem: conducts water/ minerals from roots to rest of plant, provides support (skeleton) protostele: phloem surrounding xylem core siphonostele: xylem and phloem surround pith eustele: discrete vascular bundles surround pith |
|
cork
|
secondary tissue produced by the cork cambium, and forms the outer part of the periderm in a woody plant..
|
|
cork cambium
|
Tissue in the stem of a plant that gives rise to cork on its outer surface and a layer of cells containing chlorophyll on its inner surface
|
|
rhizome
|
modified stem
|
|
staminate cones vs. ovuliferous cones
|
staminate: male plants produce staminate cones and have microsporophylls (scales) with microsporangia (pollen sacs) on underside
ovuliferous cones: female plants produce ovuliferous cones |
|
deciduous
|
loose/renew leaves every year
|
|
seed plants are heterosporous (2 spores)
|
microsporangia>microspore> male gametophyte> sperm
megasporangia>megaspore>female gametophyte> egg sporangium>spores>bisexual gametophyte>egg/sperm |
|
Adaptions for success on dry land
|
-reduction in size of gametophytes
-increased protection -pollination (no swimming sperm) -dispersal mechanisms: -wind, water, and animals -vascular tissue and secondary growth -tugor pressure for support |
|
how do trees grow?
|
-meristems:
-apical: shoots and roots -cambium: girth -formation of secondary sylem to the inside of the vascular cambium pushes on and breaks up the tree bark as it adds girth to the tree |
|
Gymnospores characteristics
|
-heterosporous
-mega (female) -micro (male) -sporophyte dominant -monoecious or dioecious |
|
Phylum Cycadophyta
|
-dioecious
-mega- and micro- -sporophyte -sporophyll -sporoangia |
|
phylum ginkgophyta
|
-dioecoius
-distinctive leaf and twig ginkgo biloba |
|
phylum coniferophyta
|
-evergreens such as cedar, juniper, and spruce
-leaves modified -needles and resin -monoecious pinue |
|
phylum gnetophyta
|
-dioecious
-double fertilization |
|
double fertilization
|
1st sperm fertilizes> zygote(2n)>young sporophyte embryo
2nd sperm nucleas fuses with large central cell in center of female gametophyte >endosperm (3m)>>food supply >integuments (2n)>>seed coat |
|
nonvascular plants and most seedless vascular plants are...
|
homosporous (one spore)
|
