BIOL 1030 Hawthorne exam 2

kingdom plantae

plant characteristics

Synapomorphies of kingdom plantae, photoautotrophic, heteromorphic sporic meiosis, terrestrial or secondary aquatic, cell walls made of cellulose, embryo protected by gametophyte tissue

plants are derived from

Charophyta

heteromorphic sporic meiosis

alterations of generations (haploid and diploid)

embryophyta

embryo protected by gametophyte tissue

Major plant groups

non-vascular plants, seedless vascular, gymnosperms, angiosperms

Non-Vascular plants

3 phyla, dominant gametophyte generation, water required for sperm dispersal, usually moist habitats, small plants

3 phyla of non-vascular plants

1. Hepatophyta- liverworts

2. Bryophyta- true mosses

3. Anthocerophyta- hornworts

Phylum Anthocerophyta

Anthoceros, simple charophyte-like thallus, horn-like sporophyte, photosynthetic sporophyte, hornworts

Phylum Hepatophyta

Dichotomously branching thallus, gemma/gemma cups, has antheridia and archegonia, sporophyte, liverworts

Sporophyte of Hepatophyta contains

foot- absorbs nutrients

capsule- sporangium/makes spores by meiosis

elaters on spores- anchor to ground

Antheridiophore (hepatophyta)

antheridia- male

archegoniophore (hepatophta)

archegonia- female

Phylum Bryophyta

meiospore, grows into protonema with leafy shoots and rhizoids, matures to gametophyte, sperm contact egg in archeogonium, zygote grows into sporophyte

antheridium (bryophyta)

male, splash cup dispersal of sperm with water

archegonium (bryophyta)

female, egg

zygote of byrophyta

capsule- holds spores

seta- connects sporophyte to capsule

calyptra/operculum

hood over capsule, prevents spores from drying out

peristome

a ring of interlocking, tooth like structure

hygroscopic dispersal

teeth, open under dry conditions and close again when its moist, facilitates gradual dispersion over long distances

vascular plants

larger/taller plants in dyer habitats, better access to light for photosynthesis, dominant sporophyte generation, gametophyte variable often hidden

3 fundamental tissue systems

vascular, dermal, ground

vascular tissue system

xylem-conducts water and minerals, dead lignified cells, provides stem strength for height

phloem- distributes sugars, amino acids, organic products, alive

dermal tissue system

outer covering layer

ground tissue system

fills space between DTS and VTS, not root tissue per se

microphyll leaves

small, unbranched vascular tissue

megaphyll leaves

branched vascular tissue, bigger

Apical meristems

primary growth, increase in height (root + shoot)

Lateral meristems

secondary growth, increase in girth

heterospory

microspores (male), megaspores (female), all seed plants, few seedless vascular plants

spores

single totipotent cell, small, don’t take much to make, very limited resources, haploid

seeds

multicellular, organs and tissue systems, already developed, telescoping of generations, nutrition for embryo, may have accessory tissues to aid in dispersal

parts of a seed

embryo, cotyledons (food), hypocotyl, epicotyl, radicle embryonic root, endosperm (food), seed coat (hard protective coverting)

gymnosperms

4 extant phyla, vascular tissue, dominant sporophyte generation, larger plants, reduction of gametophyte generation, heterospory
