1
New cards
Angiosperms
Plants that produce flowers and have seeds in a vessel, excluding pines, cypress, and spruces.
2
New cards
Antheridium
The male reproductive structure that produces haploid sperm.
3
New cards
Archegonium
The female reproductive organ that produces haploid eggs.
4
New cards
Gametophyte
The multicellular haploid phase that produces gametes.
5
New cards
Gymnosperms
Plants known as 'naked seed' plants that do not produce flowers, including pines, cypress, and spruces.
6
New cards
Heterosporous
A plant that produces two types of spores: megaspores for female gametophytes and microspores for male gametophytes.
7
New cards
Homosporous
A plant that produces only one type of spore that develops into a gametophyte with both male and female organs.
8
New cards
Megasporangium
A sporangium (2n) that produces megaspores.
9
New cards
Megasporocyte
Diploid cells within the megasporangium that produce the haploid female gametophyte via meiosis.
10
New cards
Megaspore
A haploid spore that produces the female gametophyte.
11
New cards
Microsporangium
A sporangium (2n) that produces microspores.
12
New cards
Microsporocyte
Diploid cells within the microsporangium that produce the haploid male gametophyte via meiosis.
13
New cards
Microspore
A haploid spore that produces the male gametophyte.
14
New cards
Monoecious
A term meaning 'one house,' referring to plants with both male and female reproductive organs.
15
New cards
Dioecious
A term meaning 'two houses,' referring to plants with male and female reproductive organs on separate plants.
16
New cards
Bryophytes
A phylum of nonvascular plants that includes liverworts, mosses, and hornworts.
17
New cards
Pollen cone
Gymnosperm male cones where microsporangia are located.
18
New cards
Ovulate cone
Gymnosperm female cones where megasporangia are located.
19
New cards
Rhizoid
Hair-like extensions in non-vascular seedless plants that anchor the plants to the ground.
20
New cards
Sori
A cluster of sporangia located on the underside of some seedless vascular plants.
21
New cards
Sporangium
A multicellular organ in seedless plants where meiosis occurs and haploid cells develop.
22
New cards
Spore
A haploid cell that divides by mitosis to develop into the haploid adult.
23
New cards
Sporophyll
Woody leaves found on gymnosperms that contain the sporangia.
24
New cards
Sporophyte
The multicellular diploid phase that produces spores.
25
New cards
Strobilus
A cone-like structure made up of sporophylls.
26
New cards
Thallus
A simple vegetative body not differentiated into true leaves, stems, or roots.
27
New cards
Tracheids
The dominant xylem cells in gymnosperms that transport water throughout the plant.
