Biology II Chapter 21 Divisions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Bryophyta | Mosses; Have structures similar to leaves, have rootlike, multicellular rhizoids that anchor them to the soil & help them move water/nutrients around. |
| Anthocerophyta | Hornworts; Use osmosis/diffusion to transfer nutrients; Has 1 large chloroplast in ea. cell of the gameo/sporophyte; Has spaces around the cells filled w. "mucilage" or slime. |
| Hepaticophyta | Liverworts; Found in a variety of habitats; Nutrients are transported by osmosis/diffusion. Sub-divided into leafy & thallose liverworts. |
| Lycophyta | Club Mosses; Sporophyte generation is dominant; Have reproductive structures that produce spores that club/spike-shaped; Have roots, stems, and small leaf like structures. |
| Pterophyta | Ferns; Includes ferns and horsetails; Has an underground stem called a rhizome that stores food; The "frond" or the leaf of the plant is a sporophyte; The spores produce a structure called a sporangium and the sporangium produce a structure called a sorus |
| Cycandophyta | Cycads; Cones contain male/female repro. structures; Evolved before plants with flowers; Usually found in tropics/subtropics |
| Gnetophyta | Gnetophytes; Can live up to 1500-2000 years; Have 3 genera of gnetophytes; Ephedrine is found in gnetophytes |
| Ginkgophyta | Ginkgos; Only has one living species; Has small, fan-shaped leaves; Male/Female repro. systems are on separate plants. |
| Coniferophyta | Conifer; Repro. structures of most conifers develop in cones; Male/Female cones on different branches; Waxlike coating called cutin |
| Anthophyta | Angiosperms; First appeared in the fossil record about 130 million years ago; Botanists classify anthophytes as monocots, dicots, or eudicots |
