| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| earliest plants are thought to be evolved from, descendants of... | green algae |
| scientific name for PHYLOGENY of GREEN ALGAE , {closest extant relative of land plants} | CHAROPHYCEANS "origins, ancestor to land plants" think 'mother ocean, charophycean, aqueous, closest relative' |
| four major phases of plant evolution | I. [bryophytes], NON-VASCULAR PLANTS, no xylem/phloem MOST SIMILAR TO CHAROPHYCEANS II. [seedless vascular plants], had xylem and phloem. III. [gymnosperm] seed that nourishes and protects IV. [angiosperm] flowering plants, FRUITING, easily pollenated |
| GGT SSE | gametophytes produce gametes mitotically Sporophytes produce Spores via mEiosis |
| Thallus | gametophyte plant body lacks xylem or phloem |
| bryophyte reproduction requires (mosses) | water! for the sperm to travel via chemotaxis |
| bryphyte resource movement (mosses) | water via OSMOSIS, nutrients via DIFFUSION 'mosses osmosis' |
| 3 phyla of nonvascular plants [ bryophytes ] | mosses, liverworts, hornworts |
| branches of unicellular filament produced by germinating moss spore | protonema |
| bryophyte gametophytes anchored via | rhizoids (1n) key: primarily for support, not for water/mineral transport |
| gamete producing structure [bryophytes/nonvasculars] | gametophore [bryophytes/nonvasculars] |
| bryophyte anatomy 1. rhizoid 2. | |
| bryophyte sporophytes can survive independently? | no, bryophyte sporophytes are dependent on parental gametophyte. |
| bryophyte ploidy sporophyte | bryophyte ploidy sporophyte - 2n diploid |
