Bio 152 Lab Practical Exam Questions And
Answers 100% Pass
Kingdom Plantae - ANS members have similar alterations-of-generations life cycles, produce
multicellular embryos, and have evolved multicellular structures for protection of the
vulnerable stages of sexual reproduction
waxy cuticle - ANS covers the plant body; prevents gas exchange
stomata - ANS the small openings on the undersides of most leaves through which oxygen
and carbon dioxide can move
vascular tissue - ANS specialized tissue in plants that carries water and nutrients
Bryophyte (emergence) - ANS plants that first appear in the fossil record dating over 450
mya and remain unchanged
bryophyta - ANS phylum that contains mosses
hepatophyta - ANS phylum that contains liverworts
anthocerophyta - ANS phylum that contains hornworts

Bryophyte (non-vascular) - ANS -restricted to moist habitats for their reproductive cycle and
have never attained the size and importance of other groups of plants
-have a cuticle but lack stomata
-gametophyte is dominant
-small and has simple water conducting cells
thallus - ANS plant body that lacks vascular tissue; undifferentiated plant body
mosses - ANS -sporophyte present
-ecologically important as pioneer species that colonize bare rock during primary succession
liverworts - ANS -flattened and lobed
-may have been the first group of plants to diverge from the common ancestor of all plants
rhizoids - ANS rootlike filaments on lower surface that primarily anchor plants and do not
absorb or transport materials
pores - ANS function in gas exchange, always open because they lack guard cells
gemmae cups - ANS contain flat disks of green tissue called gemmae
gemmae - ANS washed out of gemmae cups when it rains, and they grow into new,
genetically identical liverworts
*responsible for asexual reproduction because there is no fertilization*
(restricted to moist habitats)
ancestral features in bryophytes - ANS motile sperm, formation of cell plate in mitosis, gene
sequence in the nuclear and chloroplast DNA
