Plantae
Chapter 22-1 Intro to Plants, Figure 22-6, Figure 22-7 & #1-3
1.Identify the characteristics of the plant kingdom.
Plants are multicellular eukaryotes that have cell walls made of cellulose. They develop from multicellular embryos and carry out photosynthesis using the green pigments chlorophyll a and b.
2.To live successfully on land, what substances must plants obtain from their environment?
The lives of plants center on the need for sunlight, water and minerals, gas exchange, and the transport of water and nutrients throughout the plant body.
3.From which group of protists did the first plants evolve? How are plants similar to these protists?
The first plants evolved from an organism much like the multicellular green algae living today.
Chapter 22-2 Bryophytes, Lifecycle Diagram & #1-3
1.How is water essential in the life cycle of a bryophyte?
Bryophytes have life cycles that depend on water for reproduction. Lacking vascular tissue, these plants can draw up water by osmosis only a few centimeters above the ground.
2. List the three groups of bryophytes. In what type of habitat do they live?
Bryophytes include mosses, liverworts, and hornwarts. Live in rocks by waterfalls.
3.What is the relationship between the gametophyte and the sporophyte in mosses and other bryophytes?
In Bryophytes, the gameophyte is the dominant, recognizable stage of life cycle and is the stage that carries out most of the plant's photosynthesis.
﻿
1.What are the two types of vascular tissue? Describe the function of each.
Both forms of vascular tissue - xylem and phloemcan move fluids through the plant body, even against the force of gravity.
2.What are the three phyla of seedless vascular plants? Give an example of each.
Seedless vascular plants include club mosses, horsetails, and ferns. Lycopedium (club moss), Equisetum (horsetail).
3.What is the dominant stage of the fern life cycle? What is the relationship of the fern gametophyte and sporophyte?
Ferns and other vascular plants have a life cycle in which the diploid sporophyte is the dominant stage.
Chapter 22-4 Gymnosperms, Lifecycle Diagram & #1-3
1.Identify the main characteristics of seed plants.
Adaptations that allow seed plants to reproduce without water include flowers or cones, the transfer of sperm by pollination, and the protection of embryos in seeds.
2.What are the different groups of gymnosperms
Gymnosperms include gnetophytes, cycads, ginkgoes, and conifers.
3.What major change in Earth's climate favored the evolution of seed plants?
The drying up of all the water.
Chapter 22-5 Angiosperms, Lifecycle Diagrams, Figure 22-25 & #1-3
1.What reproductive structures are unique to angiosperms? Briefly describe the function of each.
Angiosperms develop unique reproductive organs known as flowers. Flowers contain ovaries, which surround and protect the seeds.
2.What are monocots and dicots?
Monocots and dicots are named for the number of seed leaves, or cotyledons, in the plant embryo. Monocots have one seed leaf, and dicots have two.
3.How do annuals, biennials, and perennials differ?
Annuals - one growing season
Biennials - two year life cycle
perennials - more than two year life cycle
