Archaeplastida

Outgroup of archaeplastida

Rhodophyte (red algae)

Body form of chlorophyta (green algae)

Mainly multicellular

Oldest lineage of multicellular organisms

Rhodophyte

First group with scenecitic lifecycle

Chlorophyta (green algae)

What is scenecitic lifecycle and what is its advantages and disadvantages?

Mitosis doesn’t separate the cell. It’s a supercell with many nucleus.

Advantage Rapid growth

Disadvantage dies if punctured

Sister taxa of chlorophyta

Charophyte and land plant

What is streptophyte include

Charaphyta and land plant

Synaphamorph of streptophyte

Multiple complexes that produce a thicker cellulose cell wall

unique mutation that makes corkscrew flagella

Peroxisome

Evolution of plasmodesmata

What does a thicker cell wall allow?

Allows to be rigid outside of water

What does a peroxisome function as?

Transitional unit from chloroplast to mitochondria

it takes in raw products from chloroplast and breaks them down the sugars that are directly used in mitochondria

Why are peroxisome important?

They have efficient system of generating energy and produce hydrogen product as a byproduct, and can be used as an antibacterial defense

What is plasmodesmata and why is it important?

Connective tunnels that join sister cells and allow connection with water important for transition from water to land
