Features of Plants - correct answers Have: cell wall made of cellulose, photosynthetic photoautotrophs,
have chloroplast (chlorophyll b), store carbs as starch, multicellular, mainly terrestrial, and have a
jacketed gametaniga.
Green Algae (Charophytes) - correct answers closest relative to plants
4 types of Plants - correct answers Non-vasulcar plants (developed 1st), Seedless plants, Non-flowering
Seedless plants, and Flowering Plants (developed last)
Shared Characteristics of plants and green algae - correct answers Shared Characteristics: Chlorophyll b,
Starch, Cellulose, and DNA sequences
Alternation of Generations of Plants - correct answers Life cycle that includes the alternation between
multicellular haploid life stages and multicellular diploid life stages
Sporophyte - correct answers Diploid (2n) that produces haploid spores through meiosis.
Haploid gametes (1n) produce these through fertilization with other gametes.
Haploid Spores - correct answers Haploid (1n) that is produced by sporophytes which are then
developed into gametophytes through process of mitosis
Gametophytes - correct answers Haploid (1n) that are produced by the mitosis of haploid spores which
then produce haploid gametes (1n) through mitosis.
, Haploid Gametes - correct answers Haploid (1n) produced by Gametophytes (1n) through mitosis which
then join with other gametes (fertilization) and form Sporophytes (2n).
Advantages of Terrestrial life of plants - correct answers There wasn't very much competition or
predation when plants first came to land.
More access to the sun because of this.
Disadvantages of Terrestrial Life of plants - correct answers Plants lost buoyancy + physical support of
water (have to deal with gravity)
UV radiation leads to increased rates of mutation
Desiccation/drying out
Possible Scenario of Terrestrial Life - correct answers Green algae in shallow bay that has water that
submerges + retreats from algae on the shore
Algae evolves to be able to stand longer and longer periods of not being submerged
Gametangia - correct answers site of gamete production
jacketed; unique to plants, protects gametes, zygotes, and embryo
Prevent drying out along with the waxy cuticle (adaptation to terrestrial life)
Waxy Cuticle - correct answers A hard lipid that helps solve water loss (prevents drying out) - adaptation
to terrestrial life.
Also creates a problem with carbon dioxide and oxygen gas exchange
