Plant Diversity I

nonvascular plants, seedless (spore-bearing) vascular plants

nonvascular plants, seedless (spore-bearing) vascular plants


K. N.
This flashcard set delves into the intricate world of plant diversity, tailored for university-level biology students. It explores the fundamental structures and phases of plants, such as the gametophyte and sporophyte, and delves into the differences between vascular and nonvascular plants. The set covers various plant types, including mosses, ferns, and pine trees, highlighting their unique characteristics and roles in plant evolution. Ideal for students seeking a comprehensive understanding of plant biology, this flashcard set provides essential knowledge on plant anatomy, reproduction, and classification, making it a valuable resource for those studying botany or related fields.

What is this?

Major Branches of Plant Evolution

What phylum are mosses?

bryophyta

what phylum are whisk ferns?

pterophyta

moss are

whisk ferns are

term for 3 phyla: bryophyta (moss), hepatophyta (liverworts), anthocerophyta (hornworts). gametophyte is the predominate stage of the life cycle

bryophytes

what is it? what phylum?

which of these are gametophytes

which of these are sporophytes

what do the pine cone and the flower have in common

The asexual and usually diploid phase, producing spores from which the gametophytes arise by meiosis
Dominant in vascular plants

since it is produced from a haploid egg cell fertilized by a haploid sperm cell, each sporophyte cell has a double set of chromosomes, one set from each parent

The gamete producing (by mitosis) and usually haploid phase, producing the zygote from which the sporophyte arises
Dominant in nonvascular plants

Within __ plants is the phloem (vessel that transports food) and the xylem (transports water). Higher plants. Tracheophytes.

__ plants are simple plants without a phloem or xylem. No true leaves, roots or stems.

flowers

seeds

branches

veins

pine cones

whisk ferns

__ plants of __ are leafy and usually stand upright. radially symmetrical. leafy green portions are often only one cell thick (except at the midrib). have specialized cells that aid in the absorption and retention of water.

reproduce asexually by fragmentation
