(Liverworts) P:Hepatophyta K:Plantae D: Eukarya

(Hornworts) P: Anthocerotophyta K: Plantae D: Eukarya

(Moss) P:Bryophyta K:Plantae D:Eukarya
Term

(Phylum, Kingdom, Domain)

Definition
(Club Moss) : Phylum Lycopodophyta Kingdom Plante Domain Eukarya
(Whisk Fern): Phylum Monilophyta Kingdom Plante Domain Eukarya
(Horsetails): Phylum Monilophyta Kingdom Plante Domain Eukarya
(Ferns): Phylum Monilophyta Kingdom Plante Domain Eukarya
Term

Describe the evolutionary relationships among plants.

What are the five significant innovations

Definition
Bryophytes are more closely related to seedless vascular plants, seedless vascular plants are more closely related to seed vascular plants.

Embryo protection, vascular tissue, megaphylls, seeds, and flowers
Term

In Nonvascular seedless plants, which generation is dominant?

 

Where are the eggs produced? Where are the sperm produced?

Definition
Gametophyte generation is dominant.

Eggs- archegonia

Sperm- antheridia
Term
In bryophytes how does reproduction take place?
Definition
With water
Term

T/F

In Bryophytes, the sporophyte is dependent on the gametophyte 

Definition
true
Term
Bryophytes have rhiziods. What are their purpose?
Definition
To anchor the plants and to conduct water
Term
Study the moss life cycle
Definition
ok
Term
In Vascular Seedless Plants which generation is dominant?
Definition
Sporophyte generation is dominant
Term
What adaptations do vascular seedless plants have for living on land?
Definition
Vascular tissue
Windblown spores
Term
Know the fern life cycle
Definition
ok
Term
What is a Thallus?
Definition
Body of a lower plant that has no recognizable shoot, root, or leaf region
Term

T/F

Bryophytes have wind blown spores

Definition
True - all of the plants have wind blown spores
Term
What are the scientific names for the seedless vascular plants?
Definition
club moss- lycophytes
horsetails-equisetum
whiskfern-psilotum
fern- filicales
Term
describe the gametophyte of seedless vascular plants
Definition
it ironically lacks vascular tissue as well as has flagellated sperm
Term
Bryophytes are the only ones without microphylls, what are they?
Definition
vascular tissue in leaves
Term
Know what lycophytes, whisk ferns, ferns, and horsetails look like
Definition
ok
Term
Where are sori located in the vascular seedless plants?
Definition
Under Fronds.
Term
In vascular seedless plants, describe the gametophyte structure
Definition
Has both the male and female structures on gametophyte
Term
Know for a moss plant, which is the antheridia and which is the archegonia. What do they look like on the plant?
Definition
antheridia- looks like a yellow flower on the top
archegonia- looks like a green spike on the top
Term
What are Gemma cups? What do they contain?
Definition
Little cups on the upper surface of the thallus. They contain groups of cells called gamma that asexually reproduce a new plant.
Term
Which plants have the gemma cups?
Definition
liverworts.
Term
What is a prothallus? Which plant has it?
Definition
Prothallus contains the archegonia and artheridium. It looks like a heart. Ferns have them.
