Green Algae (Chlorophyta)
Term
Liverworts, Mosses, and Hornworts are examples of what?

Bryophytes TOday
Term
Ferns, horsetails, whisk ferns Lycophytes (club-mosses) are examples of what?
Definition
Pteridophytes - (Ferns & Allies)
Term
What are some of the Ancestral traits shared with green algae, from which plants evolved 450mya:
Definition
Eukaryotic
Autotrophic
Starch food storage & cellulose walls
Alternation of Generations Life Cycle
Asexual & sexual reproduction
Term
What is were Derived Traits of Plants adapt them to life on land
Definition
standing up right & not drying out!
Term
How were zygotes Protected
Definition
Via internal fertilization that followed by a zygote that grows into an embryo protected by the parent
Term
What is the layer that holds in moisture, but allows gas exchange through pores (stomata) called?
Definition
Waxy Cuticle
Term
With what are gametes protected by during development in female (archegonia) & male (antheridia) sex organs
Definition
Jacketed Sex Organs
Term
What type of sexual reproduction do Bryophytes excel at best?
Definition
Bryophytes excel at asexual reproduction
Term
How much do bryophytes contribute to the world?
Definition
Contribute substantially to biodiversity in all terrestrial ecosystems, even Antarctica
Term
How many species are there world wide?
Definition
~ 24,000 species worldwide!
Term
Bryophytes are known for this type of storage especially in bogs & peat lands
Definition
Carbon storage
Term
What is succession?
Definition
The colonizing of rocks & creating soil
Term
What are Bryophytes able to provide?
Definition
Micro Habitats
Term
What are some of the Economic uses of Bryophytes: Peat Moss?
Definition
1. Burned for heating homes
2. Used in the production of Scotch whiskey
3. Added to potting soil for water-holding capacity
4. Wound dressing: WWI & WWII
5. Future: mosses resist fungal infection & survive frost. They may provide valuable genes for genetically modifying our crops…
Term
What is a Gametophyte?
Definition
life stage producing gametes (eggs & sperm
Term
What is a Sporophyte?
Definition
life stage producing spores (which are always haploid) to disperse offspring
Term
What is Syngamy?
Definition
union of gametes; nuclei fuse to create a diploid zygote, the first cell of the sporophyte stage (generation)
Term
What are Sporangia
Definition
spore-producing organ on the sporophyte plant
Term
What is the “gamete-plant” which produces these multicellular sex organs called?
Definition
Gametophyte (N) stage
Term
What is sac-shaped with Motile flagellate sperm? These Sperm require water to swim to eggs
Definition
Antheridia (Male)
Term
What is flask-shaped with 1 non-motile egg/archegonium? These Protects developing embryo after fertilization
Definition
Archegonia (female)
Term
What produces male & female sex organs & gametes.
Definition
Leafy gametophyte
Term
When does the sperm swims to egg.
Definition
After it rains,
Term
What is the 1st cell of the sporophyte stage called?
Definition
Diploid zygote
Term
What rises above the gametophyte & produces spores via meiosis.
Definition
The mature sporophyte (seta & capsule)
Term
What happens once spores are matured
Definition
the lid (operculum) pops off
Term
How spores are dispersed
Definition
via wind
Term
What does a spore grow into?
Definition
a new leafy gametophyte
Term
What produces & releases sperm from antheridiophores?
Definition
Male Gametophyte
Term
What produces eggs in archegoniophores
Definition
Female Gametophyte
Term
How does the zygote form?
Definition
Sperm swims to, and fertilizes egg,
Term
where does the zygote emerge?
Definition
archegoniophore “umbrella”
Term
How are spores produced?
Definition
meiosis
Term
where are they produced?
Definition
inside the capsule
Term
How are spores dispersed?
Definition
Wind
Term
female reproductive structure; yielding archegonium that in turn yields eggs.
Definition
Archegoniophore
Term
male reproductive structure yielding antheridium that in turn yields sperm.
Definition
Antheridiophore
Term
What is a flattened leaf called?
Definition
Thallus
Term
What is it called when something is symmetrical on both sides
Definition
Bilaterally Synmmetrical
Term
What is a gametophyte
Definition
Male and Female bearing sex organs

What are Spores
Definition
Spores are offspring
Term
A capsule + seta =
Definition
Sporophyte (2N)
Term
where do haploid (N) spores produce?
Definition
Inside a moss capsule; meiosis
Term
when the spores are mature what pops off?
Definition
Capsules have a hat that pops off
Term
What bends outward helping to disperse spores
