| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When did plants, animals, and fungus arrive on land? | 500 mya |
| What are the closest relatives to land plants? | green algae called charophytes- we know this because of the nuclear and chloroplast gene similarities |
| pros and cons of plants moving to land | pros: -unfiltered sunlight -more plentiful CO2 -nutrient rich soil -few herbivores of pathogens cons: -scarcity of water -lack of structural support |
| Derived traits of land plants | -alternation of generations- between 2 multicellular stages in their reproductive cycle- haploid and diploid -multicellular, dependent embryos -walled spores produced in sporangia -multicellular gametangia -apical meristems- produce root cap |
| Plant alternation of generation | sporophyte (2N) ->meiosis-> Spore (N) -> Gametophyte (N) ->mitosis-> Gamete (2N) |
| be able to identify parts of bryophyte sporophyte | -capsule and seta make up sporophyte- top capsule and seta stem gametophyte- towards the bottom |
