Clade of all land plants
streptophyta
general characteristics of all plants
monophyletic, multicellular, mostly photosynthetic, chloroplasts, cellulose, sexual AND asexual reproduction
Types of vascular tissues
xylem (water)
phloem (food)
Alternation of generations
spores develop into gametophytes, gametophyte produces gametes which can produce zygotes, zygotes develop into sporophytes which make spores
3 groups of seedless non-vascular plants and examples
liverworts, hornworts, mosses (bryophytes)
antheridia vs archegonia
antheridia produce sperm, archegonia produce eggs
seedless vascular plants
clubmosses, horsetails, whisk ferns (Lycophyta and and pterophyta)
Look at slides for Polytrichum (hair cap moss)
equisetum
strobilus
Fern anatomy
Fern sori and sporangium
Polytrichum - gametophyte is the leafy bottom, sporophyte is the
shoot with calyptra and capsule
equisetum strobilus
(jointed stem)
ferns: gametophyte small - sporophyte, the
leafy shoots with spores on the underside
sporangia -
where the spores are produced, sori: group of sporangia
sporophyte vs gametophyte in gymnosperms
sporophyte dominant (tree) with gametophyte smaller portion of life span (cones with sperm/egg)
pollen vs ovule
ovule contains 4 megasporocyte - only one megaspore will remain. pollen comes to the gametophyte with the egg, and sperm nucleus in the pollen tube fertilizes egg
advantage of having pollen and seeds
fertilization without water, can leave the water source behind and spread further, which can increase genetic diversity
dioecious vs monoecious
two home (male and female plants separate) - vs one home (male and female on the same plant)
4 groups of gymnosperms
coniferophyta (pine trees/cones)
cycadophyta (sago palm plant,
often confused with palms)
gingkophytes (ginkgo
biloba)
gnetophytes (welwitschia miarbilis)
loneliest tree in the world
encephalartos woodii
why gnteophytes are closest relatives to angiosperms
molecular data and double fertilization
male vs female cone visual
microscope slides of male and female cones
see page 7 of gymnosperm background
know your parts of your flower
stamen (anther/filament)
carpel
(stigma/style/ovary)
Petal
sepal (supportive leaves)
receptacle (attachment point)
double fertilization
8 mitotic cells form 1 egg, 1 polar nucleus (2 cells), 2 synergids and 3 antipodal cells. The two sperm arrive, one fertilizes the egg and the other joins the polar nuclei to form food for embryo
monocot vs dicot
dicots have two cotyledons
leaves are parallel in monocot and
branched in dicto
vascular tissue is scattered in monocot and
ringed in dicot
roots are are a netweork in monocots and a
taproot with lateral roots in dicots
monocots are flowers of 3
dicotos are 4,5, or more
Look at slides for: Lily anther and lily ovule
drupe
dicot seed
see lab 15 background document
what is citizen science
when citizens contribute observation and data collection to professional research projects
website you used to collect data
zooniverse spider crab watch
summarize the experiment you collected data for
spider crabs aggregate and we want to know why so we are counting them, off the coast of Australia
apical vs lateral meristem and growth
apical is the tips of roots and shoots, and is where most of the
vertical growth happens/
lateral is horizontal growth like the
rings of trees
dermal, ground, and vascular tissue
dermal - outer portion of roots, stems, leaves - epidermis/bark -
covers and protects and helps with gas exchange
ground - roots
stems and leaves - parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma -
photsynthesis storage adn support
vascular - roots stems and
leaves, xylem and phloem, transport of water and minerals and nutrients
root hairs and stomata
root hairs - absorption
stomata - gas exchange (guard cells
open/close to allow air in)
leaf structures
cuticle - waxy layer prevents
dessication
epidermis
palisade mesophyll - where most
photosynthesis happens
vascular bundle - nutrient transport
(veins)
stomata with guard cells
look at slides for;
coleus stem apical meristem
cross
section of woody plants with lateral meristem tissues
labeled
leaf cross section
monocot root versus dicot root
coleus looks like crab pincers,
woody plant cross-section
(BARK) (periderm, cork cambium, secondary phloem, vascular cambium,
(summer and spring wood in the secondary xylem)
monocot root
looks messier, dicot root is in ring - know wha the xylem, phloem and
epidermis look like
parts of a gastrula
ecto/endo/mesotherm - blastopore, archenteron
identify stages of embryonic development
zygote - morula (8 cell) - blastula - gastrula - neurula (in vertabrates)
11 body systems and what they do
Circulatory System, digestive, endocrine, excretory, integumentary, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, respiratory, reproductive, skeletal (MRS INCLUDER)
Characteristics of animals
eukaryotic, multicellular w/o cell walls, motile, heterotrophic, specialized tissue, mostly sexual reproduction, body plan determined when embryo
porifera
sponges - asymmetrical, diploblastic, neither proto or duetero
sponge life cycle
choanocytes become sperm, amoebocytes become eggs, sperm swims into a collar cell and fertilizes the egg, producing a zygote. Larvae is motile, will land on sea floor and grow into adult
cnidarian
radial symmetry, is polyp or medusa - is diploblastic - is protostome
structure of snidocytes
touch senstivite hair like projection, barb and thread -
coral bleaching
when the dinoflagellates (a symbiont) are expelled from coral due to temperature and PH changes, the coral will often die as the symbiont helps with photosynthesis and nutrients, as well as color. Their absence turns the coral white
cephilization
development of a head where sensory organs are stored
3 main types of platyhelminthes
tubellaria - free living
trematoda or flukes -
parasitic
cestoda (tape worms) - parasitic
