28 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
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)
