Biology II Chapter 21 Review-- Short Answer

QuestionAnswer
List the common characteristics between present day plant and algae. Both had cell walls composed of cellulose; Cell division took place including the formation of a cell plate; Both have the same type of chlorophyll; Both store food as a starch
Name and explain the 5 plant adaptations to land environments. Cuticle, Stomata, Seeds, Vascular Tissues, and Reproductive Strategies
Explain the alternation of generations in plants. Gametophytes produce gametes to reproduce; Sporophytes produce spore that can grow to form the next generation of gametophyte generation. (In most plants, the sporophyte generation is dominant.)
Give characteristics of nonvascular plants. Nonvascular plants are short, found in damp areas, and move water/minerals/nutrients by osmosis and diffusion.
Give characteristics of seedless vascular plants. Seedless vascular plants do not have seeds and use spores to reproduce, their spores are found in a structure called the "strobilus", and they distribute their spores by wind, water, and animals.
Give characteristics of vascular seed plants. Vascular seed plants have vascular tissue, they have seeds, and their seeds are dispersed from the parent plant
Explain why seed dispersal is important to seed vascular plants and give 3 specific examples of this process. Seeds are dispersed to cut down from competition w the parent plants & help make conditions more favorable for growth. Examples of this are the cocklebur (attach 2 animals), pine seed (wings catch wind), coconut (seeds float), & witch hazel (seed popped)
Name/Summarize the 3 life spans of anthophytes. Annuals live for 1 year, biennials live for 2 years, and perennials live for several years.
