2 billion years

a long time

algae are classified into how many types of phyla? and based on what?

green red and brown algae

which of the algae is the most plant-like?

green algae

where is green algae found?

frwshwater and damp terrestrial places and sloth fur

what do the cell walls of green algae contain?

cellulose and store food reserves in the form of starch

whats another name for brown algae?

seaweed

what are brown algae cell walls made of?

cellulose and alginic acid

where do brown algae usually live? how?

underwater. use holdfasts to anchor algae to rocky shoreline

where is red algae usually found?

warmer seawater and are able to live at deeper depths

are red and brown algae single or multicellular

red is multicellular


brown is almost always multicellular

how are red algae diff. than brown algae

more delicate and smaller

why are red algae red?

contain pigments that absorbs green violet and blue light.

what is the hypothesis about green algae? whats the proof!

that they are the closest evolutionary relatives of land plants.


• presence of chlorophyll a and b


• cellulose in cell walls


• store food in the form of starch


• simularities in genetic code

when did plants evolve from aquatic to terrestrial environments?

460 million years ago

how did algae adapt to life on land?

reproduced using embryos


developed vascular tissues seeds and flowers

how did vascular tissue change the small and simple plants into cooler things?

allowed evolution of roots which gave access to anchoring the plant down and absorbing and transporting water. which let the plants grow in drier areas

why did leaves evolve?

to increase SA of plant and allowed better exchange of gases involved in photosynthesis and light capture

what are the general characteristics of kingdom plantae?

what are the four main groups a plant can be placed in?

non-vascular plants, seedless vascular plants, gymnosperms, angiosperms

what are the 3 divisions of non-vascular plants?

mosses, liverwarts, hormwarts

how do non-vascular plants transport nutrients?

with osmosis and diffusion

where do non-vascular plants grow?

dense mats of low tangled vegetation

what do non-vascular plants have instead of roots?

rhizomes

when do seedless vascular plants originate?

about 300 million years ago

what did vascular tissue do for the plants

allowed them to grow tall

where are horsetails found?

in damp areas or along roadsides

what can horsetails be made into?

shampoo to fight headlice

whats the most successful of the seedless vascular plants

ferns

whats the diff. between gymnosperms and angiosperms?

gymnosperms have needles and angiosperms have leaves.


gymnosperms have exposed seeds on the surface of the cone scales while angiosperms have them protected in a fruit body

how do gymnosperms and angiosperms reproduce?

sexually. gymnosperms don't use water and angiosperms use pollination

why are conifers in triangle shaped?

for snow to slide off

what are bryophytes and how are they diff. from other groups of plants?

they're non-vascular. they don't have roots and rely on osmosis

explain the statement "bryophytes are the pioneers that conquered land"

they converted the barren land into a lush green landscapes

what are the 2 life cycle generations of a bryophyte?

gametophyte and sporophyte

how are bryophytes helpful for the environment?

help reduce soil erosion, nutrient recycling

what are the characteristics of seedless vascular plants?

have vascular tissue, no seeds, moist enviorment

what are some examples of organisms in kingdom fungi?

mushrooms toadstools mildews yeast moulds

are fungi mostly uni or multicellular

multicellular

fungi kingdom looks simular to ___ but are more like ___

plants animals

what are the 4 ways fungi get nutrition? whats the majority way?

parasitic, predatory, mutualistic, saprobial. saprobial is pop.

what are digestive enzymes?

are released and break down large organic molecules into smaller organic ones.

what are the diseases fungi can give ya

althletes foot and ringworm

whats the simplest asexual way for fungi to reproduce?

fragmentation

how many spires can a puffball produce ?

a trillion

what are the original ancestors to fungi

unknown

what are the 5 subgroups in the fungi kingdom and which one if them is the only one to reproduce sexually?

imperfect, chytrids, zygospore fungi, sac fungi and club fungi (sexually)
