Bio 112 Cofc Exam Questions and Verified Answers/Accurate Solutions| Already Graded A+
plant and plant development
plants provide ecosystem services, including
Study guide question: What are some of the ecosystem services that plants provide to the
environment around them? producing oxygen( byproduct of photosynthesis)
building soil
Holding soil so it doesn't erode, nutrients and water(H20)
Plants are primary producers
Study Guide question: What does it mean to be a primary producer?(plants) they convert
energy from the sunlight into chemical bond energy
this supports virtually all other organisms in terrestrial habitats
plants provides Humans, Food, fuel, fiber, building materials and medicine
Study guide question: What are three ways biologists study and understand the diversification
of land plants? compare morphological
analyze the fossil record
build phylogenetic trees ( evolutionary trees)
Study guide question: What are the 3 large categories of plants based on basic morphological
traits? ( remember one of them have 2 sub-groups) Nonvascular plants, seedless vascular
plants and , seed-bearing plants (gymo, angio)
Non-vascular plants: they lack vascular tissue, this is a special cell in the plant that conducts
water into the cell
EX: Mosses
, They still need water for reproduction because they need the sperm to "swim" to the sperm
they do not grow very tall due to them not vascular tissue
and they are a gametophyte( this is a big word for Haploid species)
ONLY LINEAGE LIKE THIS ONE
**** make sure you know the major details of each plant group********
Seedless vascular plants: well developed, has vascular tissue but does not make seeds
EX: ferns
The vascular system is made up of Xylem and phloem( water and food)
* they still need water to produce*
they do not have seeds
sporophyte
*** make sure you know the major details of each plant group*****
Mosses were the first plants to evolve these 3 traits vital for living on land cuticle- the waxy
layer that prevents water loss
pores- opens and closes for gas exchange
stomata- the "special pores"
***** make sure you know the details of each plant group*****
sporophyte Diploid production of spores, are produced by a process called meiosis
*** what is the process called when spores are produced****
