Question
Answer
charophytes   green algae that are the closest relatives of land plants  
🗑
traits land plants share with charophytes   rings of cellulose-synthesizing proteins, structure of flagellated sperm, formation of a phragmoplast  
🗑
sporopollenin   a layer of a durable polymer that prevents exposed zygotes from drying out  
🗑
five key traits appear in nearly all land plants but are absent in the charophytes   alternation of generations, multicellular, dependent embryos, walled spores produced in sporangia, multicellular gametangia, apical meristems  
🗑
alternation of generations   a reproductive cycle where plants alternate between two multicellular stages  
🗑
gametophyte   haploid and produces haploid gametes by mitosis  
🗑
diploid sporophyte   which produces haploid spores by meiosis  
🗑
sporangia   spores in organs produced by sporophyte  
🗑
sporocytes   diploid cells that undergo meiosis to generate haploid spores  
🗑
gametangia   organs that are produced within gametes  
🗑
archegonia   female gametangia that produce eggs and are the site of fertilization  
🗑
antheridia   male gametangia that produce and release sperm  
🗑
apical meristems   where plants sustain continual growth  
🗑
cuticle   a waxy covering of the epidermis  
🗑
stomata   specialized cells that allow for gas exchange between the outside air and the plant  
🗑
lycophytes   club mosses and their relatives  
🗑
monilophytes   ferns and their relatives  
🗑
seed   an embryo and nutrients surrounded by a protective coat  
🗑
gymnosperms   the “naked seed” plants, including the conifers  
🗑
angiosperms   the flowering plants  
🗑
liverworts   phylum Hepatophyta  
🗑
mosses   phylum Bryophyta  
🗑
hornworts   phylum Anthocerophyta  
🗑
rhizoids   anchor gametophytes to substrate  
🗑
xylem   conducts most of the water and minerals and includes tube-shaped cells called tracheids  
🗑
lignin   strengthen water-conducting cells are and provide structural support  
🗑
phloem   has cells arranged into tubes that distribute sugars, amino acids, and other organic products  
🗑
roots   organs that anchor vascular plants  
🗑
leaves   organs that increase the surface area of vascular plants, thereby capturing more solar energy that is used for photosynthesis  
🗑
microphylls   leaves with a single vein  
🗑
megaphylls   leaves with a highly branched vascular system  
🗑
sporophylls   modified leaves with sporangia  
🗑
sori   clusters of sporangia on the undersides of sporophylls  
🗑
strobili   cone-like structures formed from groups of sporophylls  
🗑
heterosporous   all seed plants and some seedless vascular plants  
🗑
Phylum Lycophyta   includes club mosses, spike mosses, and quillworts  
🗑
Phylum Monilophyta   includes ferns, horsetails, and whisk ferns and their relatives  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
