Plants supply oxygen and are the ultimate source of most food eaten by land animals
What are the main functions/contributions of plants to life on Earth?
|
Male Gametophytes
Microsporangia produce:
|
Sporangia
The organs in which sporophytes produce spores
|
Female Gametophytes
Megasporangia produce:
|
seeds mature in enclosed chambers called ovaries; ex. All flowering plants
Angiosperm
|
charophytes
– The closest relatives of land plants
Land plants evolved from green algae.
Researchers have identified green algae as? |
Homosporous
Heterosporous
• The ancestors of seed plants were likely:
– ________________, • While seed plants are: – ________________ |
False
• Land plants are not descended from modern/living charophytes, but • Share a common ancestor with modern charophytes
True or False? Land plants descended from modern/living charophytes.
|
– The transfer of pollen to the part of a seed plant containing the ovules
Pollination is:
|
Diploid cells
undergo meiosis to generate haploid spores
Sporocytes:
Haploid or Diploid? Mitosis or Meiosis? What do they generate? |
Charophytes
Comparisons of both nuclear and chloroplast genes point to: _____________ as the closest living relatives of land plants
|
– Eliminates the need for a film of water
– Great dispersion distances by air or animals
Pollen advantages:
|
• Microtubules connecting the two daughter nuclei of a dividing cell
• A cell plate develops in the middle of the phragmoplast across the midline of the dividing cell • A cell plate then gives rise to new cross wall (new cell wall) that separates the daug
Define Phragmoplast:
|
A seed develops from the whole ovule
The relationship between the whole ovule and the development of the seed in seed plants
|
Female gametangia
Produce eggs and are the site of fertilization
Archegonia
|
a. Scarcity of water
b. Lack of structural support (e.g gravity)
The type of challenges land presented to terrestrial movement of species
|
a. An embryo, and
b. Nutrients, surrounded by c. A protective coat
The different component of a seed
|
a. Unfiltered sun
b. More plentiful CO2 c. Nutrient-rich soil d. Few herbivores or pathogens
The advantages/benefits that terrestrial environment provided to earlier species of plants upon their movement to land
|
A pollen tube
- that discharges sperm into the female gametophyte within the ovule
What does pollen grain germination gives rise to?
|
• Land Plants
• Dependency of the embryo on the parent
Embryophyte:
|
a. Rose-shaped complexes for cellulose synthesis
b. Peroxisome enzymes c. Structure of flagellated sperm d. Formation of a phragmoplast
The four characteristics that the closest relative of plants share with plants?
|
a. Megasporangium
b. Megaspore, c. One or more protective integuments
The components of the ovule in seed plants
|
a. Alternation of generations
b. Walled spores produced in sporangia c. Multicellular gametangia d. Apical meristems
The key traits that are only found in land plants but are absent in charophytes (green algae)
|
a. They may remain dormant for days to years, until conditions are favorable for germination
b. They may be transported long distances by wind or animals
The evolutionary advantage(s) of seeds vs. spores in terms of transport over a distance by winds and animals
|
A durable polymer layer in charophytes protecting exposed zygotes from drying out
Sporopollenin:
|
