Question | Answer |
---|---|
name the three phyla that contain nonvascular plants | 1) Hempatophyta, 2) anthocerophyta, 3) bryophyta |
Liverwarts are in what phylum | hepatophyta |
what phylum are hornwarts in | anthocerophyta |
the true mosses are in what phylum | bryophyta |
How are vascular and nonvascular plants classified | the presence of a specialized network of conducting tissue |
(vascular/nonvascular) plants lack true roots, stems, and leavs | nonvascular plants lack true roots, stems, and leaves |
name the three main nonvascular plants | 1) liverwarts, 2) hornworts, 3) true mosses |
the seedless vascular plants include | 1) club mosses, 2) ferns |
what are the two groups of vascular plants | 1) seedless vascular plants, and 2) seed plants |
(seedless/seed) vascular plants are the largest group of plants | seed plants are the largest group of plants |
name the two main types of seed vascular plants | 1) gymnosperms, 2) angiosperms |
give a few examples of gymnosperm plants | ginko, cycads, and conifers |
give a few examples of angiosperms | flowering plants ( zinnias and roses) |
how is the life cycle of plants characterized | alternation of generations |
gametophytes are (haploid/diploid) generation | gametophytes are haploid generation |
which of the two distinct generations in plants is multicellular and characterized by the production of the male and female gametes through meiosis | gametophytes |
in the fertilization of plant cells, two cells become one and form a diploid ________________________ | sporophyte |
a vast majority of liverworts live in _________________ environments | liverworts live in moist environments |
name the three ways to distinguish liverworts from mosses | 1) lack thick midrib, 2) have both small and larger leaves, 3) leaves of liverwort are flattened into a single plane instead of radiating out in different directions |
liverworts have a _____________________ relationship with fungi | symbiotic |
name the two types of liverworts | 1) thalloid liverworts and 2) leafy liverworts |
hair like structures, called _________________, extend into the soil and anchor the thallus | rhizoids |
during asexual reproduction for liverworts, what two structures that appear on liverworts | 1) gemma cups and 2) gammae |
