---|---|---|---|---|
1.Rings of cellulose-synthesizing proteins
2.Peroxisome enxymes 3.Structure of flagellated sperm 4.Formation of a phragmoplanst
Name the 4 distinctive traits are shared only with charophytes and land plants
|
wind, water, animals (attachment or consumption/excretion)
Explain how fruits may be adapted to disperse seeds
|
the union of cytoplasm from two parent mycelia
What is plasmogamy?
|
short-distance - diffusion or active transport
long-distance - bulk flow
What is the difference between short and long distance transport?
|
Topsoil is composed of ‘humus’, organic matter composed of decaying plant matter and feces of decomposing organisms
What is topsoil made of?
|
1.Alternation of generations (with multicellular, dependent embryos)
2.Walled spores produced in sporangia 3. Multicellular gametangia 4. Apical meristems
What are the 4 key traits that appear in nearly all land plants but are absent in the charophytes?
|
a mature ovary
Angiosperms
What is a fruit?
which plants have fruits? |
symbiotic association between a photosynthetic microorganism and a fungus
What is a lichen?
|
The waxy Casparian strip of the endodermal wall blocks apoplastic transfer of minerals from the cortex to the vascular cylinder
What is the purpose of the Caspian strip?
|
Macronutrients (need in large quantities)
C, O, H, N, P, S, K, Ca, Mg Micronutrients (need in small quantities) Cl, Fe, Mn, B, Zn, Cu, Ni, Mo and sometimes Na
What are micro and macro nutrients and which elements are classified under each?
|
because they lack conducting tissues to distribute water and organic compounds, every cell must be near water and nutrients to survive. (they are NONVASCULAR)
why do most bryophytes grow close to the ground and are restricted to periodically moist environments?
|
Decreasing reliance on liquid water for fertilization
and Increasing dominance of sporophyte generation
As you progress through the phylogenetic tree, what 2 trends characterize evolution of land plants?
|
During karyogamy, the haploid nuclei fuse, producing diploid cells
What happens during karyogamy?
|
Co-transport occurs when a transport protein couples the diffusion of one solute (H+) with the active transport of another (NO-_3)
What is co-transport?
|
Nitrogen fixers
Convert atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) to a usable form for plants (ammonia) Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
What the role of nitrogen fixers? Which organisms can fulfill this role?
|
1.Life cycles with dominant sporophytes
2.Vascular tissues called xylem and phloem 3.Well-developed roots and leaves
What three traits that characterize modern vascular plants and how have these traits contributed to success on land?
|
Key features of the gymnosperm life cycle:
Dominance of the sporophyte generation Development of seeds from fertilized ovules The transfer of sperm to ovules by pollen
What are the 3 key features of Gymnosperm Life cycle?
|
Instead of producing spores, yeasts reproduce asexually by simple cell division and the pinching of “bud cells” from a parent cells
Molds: mitosis
How do yeasts reproduce? What other fungi reproduce this way?
|
1.Canopy structure
2. Phyllotaxy (the arrangement of leaves) (Quantified by leaf area index - LAI) equation in slides
Which factors impact a plant's ability to capture light?
|
.1.Epiphytes
Plants that grow on other plants Do not have roots in soil or host Obtain nutrition from atmosphere and canopy soil 2.Parasitic Plants Absorb water, minerals, sometimes carbon directly from host Some lack chlorophyll entirely 3.Carnivorous Plants Photosynthetic, but supplement mineral nutrition by capturing small animals Usually live in poor soils
Name and describe the 3 unusual nutritional adaptations in plants
|
Bryophyta is the taxonomic name for the phylum of mosses. Bryophyte is used to describe refers to all non-vascular plants.
What's the difference between the phylum Bryophyta and the bryophytes?
|
they are not enclosed by ovaries
Why are gymnosperm seeds called "naked" seeds?
|
Chytrids (phylum Chytridiomycota) are found in freshwater and terrestrial habitats
The zygomycetes (phylum Zygomycota) exhibit great diversity of life histories, include black bread mold The glomeromycetes (phylum Glomeromycota) were once considered zygomycetes, include arbuscular mycorrhizae Ascomycetes (phylum Ascomycota) live in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats Basidomycetes (phylum Basidiomycota) include mushrooms, puffballs, and shelf fungi, mycorrhizae, and plant parasites
Name and briefly describe the 5 fungal phyla
|
The products of photosynthesis are transported through phloem by the process of translocation
Phloem sap is an aqueous solution that is high in sucrose It travels from a sugar source to a sugar sink A sugar source is an organ that is a net producer of sugar, such as mature leaves A sugar sink is an organ that is a net consumer or storer of sugar, such as a tuber or bulb
Describe the transport of sugars (products of photosynthesis) in a plant
|
1.Roots acidify soil solution with CO2 and H+
2.H+ ions neutralize soil solution cause cation exchange 3.Roots absorb cations
Describe how how inorganic components of soil are taken up by the root of the plant
