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
100
wind, water, animals (attachment or consumption/excretion)
Explain how fruits may be adapted to disperse seeds
100
the union of cytoplasm from two parent mycelia
What is plasmogamy?
100
short-distance - diffusion or active transport
long-distance - bulk flow
What is the difference between short and long distance transport?
100
Topsoil is composed of ‘humus’, organic matter composed of decaying plant matter and feces of decomposing organisms
What is topsoil made of?
200
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?
200
a mature ovary
Angiosperms
What is a fruit?
which plants have fruits?
200
symbiotic association between a photosynthetic microorganism and a fungus
What is a lichen?
200
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?
200
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?
300
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?

300
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?
300
During karyogamy, the haploid nuclei fuse, producing diploid cells
What happens during karyogamy?
300
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?
300
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?
400
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?
400
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?
400
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?
400
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?
400
.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
500
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?
500
they are not enclosed by ovaries
Why are gymnosperm seeds called "naked" seeds?
500
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
500
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
500
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
