plant test pt 1
these r only the first half of the plant notes!
| characteristics of plants | kingdom plantae, eukaryotic, photosynthetic, cell walls contain cellulose |
| sunlight | necessary for photosynthesis |
| gas exchange | oxygen - cellular respiration carbon dioxide - photosynthesis |
| water + minerals | water - photosynthesis minerals - growth |
| alternation of generations | diploid to haploid, 2 alternating phases |
| what are the two alternating phases? | sporophyte, gametophyte |
| sporophyte | multicellular diploid phase (spore producing) |
| gametophyte | multicellular haploid phase (gamete producing plant) |
| examples of seedless plants | green algae, mosses, ferns |
| green algae life cycle uses... | alternation of generations |
| if environmental conditions are suitable it stays in the.. | haploid stage and undergoes mitosis |
| if environmental conditions are unsuitable.. | it will reproduce sexually |
| bryophytes | - mosses - uses alternation of generations - have specialized reproductive structures - have higher degree of cell specialization |
| bryophyte life cycle has what stages? | gametophyte stage, sporophyte stage |
| gametophyte stage | gametes formed at the tip (some species have both gametes, others have separate plants for each) |
| sporophyte stage | - grows out of gametophyte - depends on gametophyte for nutrients - produces haploid spores |
| example of tracheophytes: | ferns |
| what are the 2 types of tube-like vascular tissue in tracheophytes | xylem, phloem |
| xylem | carries water up from roots |
| phloem | transports nutrients from photosynthesis throughout the plant |
| tracheophyte life cycle | - diploid sporophyte stage is the most dominant - produces spores that become gametophytes - gametophyte grows independently from the sporophyte, unlike mosses |
| seed plants examples | conifers, flowers |
| gymnosperms | - produce seeds on the scales of cones - produce two types of cone |
| pollen cones | male; produce pollen grains (haploid male gametophyte) |
| seed cones | female; produce egg cells (haploid female gametophyte) - fertilization produces a diploid zygote which grows into a new sporophyte plant |
