| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| plants | 1. plants create their own food 2. PLANTS ARE SESSILE AND (MOSTLY) TERRESTRIAL : anchored to one spot and almost always on land 3. PLANTS ARE MULTICELLULAR |
| stationary living (challenge) | Because plants can’t move to reach sunlight, they bend in place and grow toward light. |
| stationary living (challenge) | -finding a mate -alternating haploid and diploid life stages and using other organisms to transport the male gametes |
| stationary living (challenge) | RESISTING PREDATION -Plants can’t run from predators so they develop thorns |
| plants moving onto land | problem: gravity solution: grow close to the ground problem: desiccation solution: develop and outer wax layer called cuticle |
| plants | 1. non-vascular 2. vascular 3. gymnosperms 4. angiosperms |
| to survive on land | -In plants, generations alternate between a haploid form and a diploid form “alternation of generations” |
| “alternation of generations” | Gametophyte: haploid cells produce gametes, which go through fertilization to produce the next generation Sporophyte: diploid cells produce haploid spores, which grown into gametophyte generation |
| non vascular plants | -The majority of the life cycle is spent in the haploid stage -haploid stage (fertilization) -diploid stage (meosis) |
| vascular plants | haploid and diploid stages are multicellular and occur interpedently |
| gymnosperm | -meiosis first -fertilization second -evolution of seeds |
| angiosperm | -meiosis first -fertilization second -Haploid gametes are further reduced in size, faster seed production -double fertilization -flowers are the reproductive organ |
| fungus | 1. FUNGI ARE DECOMPOSERS OR SYMBIONTS 2. FUNGI ARE SESSILE 3. FUNGI HAVE CELL WALLS MADE OF CHITIN |
| fungi | -Main body made up of hyphae -Can go through sexual and asexual reproduction -Critical in the evolution of plants |
