Land plants are believed to have evolved from

Charophytes

in the bryophytes, the sporophyte is

dependent on the gametophyte generation





Liverworts and mosses use what pigments for photosynthesis?

Clorophylls a & b


carotenes


xanthophylls

Which best describes the concept of alternation of generations?

There are two phases: a sporophyte and a gametophyte

Alternation of heteromorphic generations

is common to all land plants

An organ that is hygroscopic

is sensitive to change in moisture


is exemplified by the peristomal teeth in the sporophyte of mosses


may aid in spore dispersal in mosses



Gemmae function for?

Asexual reproduction



sperm find their way to the archegonium

by swimming


due to chemical gradient diffusing from the archegonium


as a result of sucrose being released during the breakdown of the neck canal cells of archegonium

a protonema

is the product of spore germination of a moss



the suffix -phore is derived from the greek word meaning

branch

The sporophyte is the dominant and conspicuous generation in

the fern allies and ferns


gymnosperms


flowering plants



a tracheophyte is a plant that has

xylem and phloem



psilotum lacks

roots



Spore germination followed by cell division results in the production of

a gametophyte

what best describes a plant that is epiphyte

A plant that grows upon another plant

Club mosses

are so called because most produce strobili

the resurrection plant

is a species of Selaginella


grows in the desert southwest of the united states


is a member of the phylum lycophyta

in ferns

xylem and phloem are present in the sporophyte


the sporophyte is the dominant generation


the leaf is called a frond

conifers

are gymnosperms


all conifers have naked seeds


heterosporous

seed plants

have alternation of generations


are heterosporous


develop a seed coat

a pine tree is

a sporophyte


diploid

the male pine cone

produces pollen

the male gametophyte of a pine tree

is produced within a pollen grain


produces sperm

which of these are produced directly by meiosis in pine

microspores

an ovule

si the structure that develops into a seed

the process by which pollen is transferred to the ovule is called

pollination

what is true of the female gametophyte of pine

its a product of repeated cell divisions of the functional megaspore


its haploid


it serves as the stored food to be used by the embryo sporophyte upon germination

plants that produce flowers are

members of the anthophyta


angiosperms


seed producers

all of the petals of a flower are collectively called the

corolla

which group of terms refers to the microsporophyll, the male portion of a flower

anther, stamen, filament

a carpel is the

same as a megasporophyll

the portion of the flower containing pollen grains is

the pollen sac


the microsporangium


the anther

which group of terms is in the correct developmental sequence

microspore mother cell, meiosis, megaspore, female gametophyte

where does germination of pollen grain occur in flowering plant

on the stigma

double fertilization refers to

fusion of one sperm nucleus with tow polar nuclei and fusion of another with the egg cell nucleus

ovules mature into ____, while ovaries mature into,_______

seeds/ fruits

a bean pod is

a seed container


a fruit

an organism that grows specifically on nonliving organic material is called?

a saprophyte

taxonomic seperation into fungal phyla is based on

sexual reproduction, or lack thereof

fungi is to fungus as sporangia is to ____________

sporangium

zygospore- forming fungi

are in the phylum zygomycota


rhizopus is a representative genus


a zygospore is formed after fertilization

which structures would you find in a sac fungus

ascongonia, asci, ascocarps, ascospores

the club fungi are placed in the phylum basidiomycota

because they form basidia

a relationship between two organisms in which both members benefit is said to be

mutualistic

an organism that is made up of a fungus and an associated green alga or cyanobacterium is known as a

lichen

a mutualistic association between plant root and fungus is known as a

mycorrhizal root
