| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| characteristics of Plantae kingdom | kingdom of mullticellular photosynthetic autotrophs or eukaryotes that have cell walls containing cellulose. they develop from multicellular embryos and carry out photosynthesis using green pigments chlorophyll a and b. |
| characteristics of Plantae kingdom pt.2 | the alternation of generation, meaning a diploid gametophyte generation and a haploid sporophyte generation Most plants, other than the bryophytes (simple plants, think moss) have a vascular system (zylem, phloem, roots, etc) |
| scientists have traced origins of plants to ____ | fresh water algae the charophytes gave rise to primitive plants in paleozoic era 450 million years ago |
| plants and ____ most likely moved together onto land from their aquatic protista ancestry | fungi |
| Adaptations of land plants | Protected embryo, waxy cuticle, stoma, tracheids, haploid tonic cycle, |
| _______ covered plant surfaces helped protect against_______ | cutin (wax), dehydration |
| _______ and guard cells evolved to permit openings for___ _____ cutin- covered surfaces | stomata, air exchange |
| ability to fertilize without cells using _____ swimming in water to reach opposite mating types | flagella |
| took ___ ______ yrs for plants on land to evolve means for ____ without water | one million, fertilization |
| in order to support increase in size plants evolved complex polymers such as _____ to strengthen cell walls; supporting heavier/ larger structure | ligin |
| plants evolve ____ tissue to carry ____ | xylem, water |
| ______ tissue to carry _____ | phloem, nutrients |
| roots evolved with _______ to anchor plant and absorb water/ minerals from soil | mycorrhizae |
| very primitive plants used ____ to protect embryo | achegonia |
| _____ final protective structure for embryos evolved; contains seeds or embryos of plant kingdom | fruit |
| plants that evolved first were small and dependent on water for ____ and without ____ tissue | fertilization, vascular |
| most complex plants today ______ evolved flowers and fruits to protect embryos | angiosperms |
| different groups of plants | Mosses, Ferns, Conifers, and Flowering Plants |
| What distinguishes kingdom plantae from all the other kingdoms, | is that the cells of kingdom plantae have cell walls made of cellulose that are used to support the plant |
| Another characteristic belonging only to kingdom plantae is their | chloroplasts; their ability to convert inorganic matter to organic matter with the use of photosynthesis |
