Sporopollenin |
Polymer in walls of plant spores that makes them tough and resistant to harsh conditions |
|
Sporangia |
Multicellular, spore producing organs on sporophyte |
|
Gametophyte |
Multicellular haploid |
|
Sporophyte |
Multicellular diploid |
|
Archegonia |
Female, produces single egg regained within archegonia |
|
Antheridia |
Male, produces many sperm that are released into the enviornmet |
|
Thallus |
Flat vegetative body lacking vascular tissue |
|
Seta |
stalk supporting the capsule of a moss or liverwort, and supplying it with nutrients. The seta is part of the sporophyte and has a short foot embedded in the gametophyte on which it is parasitic. |
|
Homosporous |
sporganium --> single type of spore -->bisexual -->eggs/sperm |
|
Heterosporous |
megasporangium-->megaspore-->female gametophyte--> eggs microsporangium-->microspore-->male gametophyte--> sperm |
|
Microphylls |
Leaves with single strand of vascular tissue |
|
Megaphylls |
Large leaves with branched vascular tissue |
|
Sporophylls |
is a leaf that bears sporangia. |
|
Strobili |
cone like structure formed by clusters of sporphylls |
|
Sori |
Clusters of spirangia located on the underside of sporophyllls |
|
Prothallas |
gametophyte stage of a fern Heart shaped thing |
|
Characteristics of plants |
alteration of generations multicellular dependent embryos spores with protective walls multicellular gameotangia apical meristem |
|
Derived traits of land plants |
- alteration of generations - multicellular - dependent embryos - spores with protective walls - multicellular gametongia (Organs that produce gametes) - apical meristem |
|
Alteration of generation process |
1. Gametophyte produce haploid gametes by mitosis
2. Two gametes unite to form diploid zygote
3. Zygote develops into multicellular sporophyte
4. Sporophyte produces unicellular haploid spore by meiosis
5. Spores develop into multicellular haploid gametophyte |
|
Gametangia |
Multicellular organs that produce gametes |
|
Vascular tossue |
Tubes made of cells that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant |
|
Types of vascular tissue |
Xylem Phloem |
|
Xylem |
Water transport |
|
Phloem |
Nutrient transport |
|
Adaptations for terrestrial life |
Vascular tissue
Cuticle
Stomata
|
|
Characteristics of seedless nonvascular plants |
Gametophyte generation dominant
No true leaves, stems, or roots
Rhizoids: tubular or filamentous cells that anchor the thallus
Thallus
Flagellated spermwort
|
|
Phylum hepatophya |
Liverworts
Name refers to the liver shaped gametophyte
Gametophyte dominate
No true leaves, roots or steams - rhizoids
Two forms - leafy - thalloid |
|
Phylum bryophyta |
Mosses
Gametophyte dominant
No true leave, roots, or stems
- lack vascular tissue
Traits similar to more derived plants - stomata - cuticle |
|
Phylum anthecerophyta |
Hornworts
Gametophyte dominant
No true leave, roots, or stems - lack vascular tissue
Traits similar to more derived plants - stomata - critical
Sporophyte lack seta
Symbiotic relationship with Cyanobacteria |
|
Characteristics of seedless, vascular plants |
Diverged 450 mya
Sporophytes generation dominant
Formation of vascular tissue - xylem - phloem
Ligin: polymer that strengthens the cell walls of water conducting cells
True leaves, roots and stems - have vascular tissue
Sperm with flagella |
|
Phylum lycophyta |
Club mosses spike mosses and quill warts
Sporophyte generation dominant
True leaves - Microphylls - Sporophylls
True stems and roots
Vascular tissue
Homospores and Heterosporous |
|
Phylum pteropyta |
Ferns
Maegaphylls
Homesporous
Sori
True leaves, roots, and stems - branching roots |
|
Hepatophya reproduction |
Sexual - sporophyte develops on female gametophytes
Asexual - gemmae cups |
|
Brophyte life cycle |
Sexual reproduction - protorema: one cell thick filaments grown from germinated moss spore
- mature gametophyte grows from protorema
Sporophyte dependent on female gametophyte - foot - seta - capsule - peristome
Asexual reproduction - brood bodies |
|
