Biology 1407: Exam II Review (Part 1) Chapter 26: The
Colonization of Land by Gymnosperms, Angiosperms, and
Fungi Questions With Complete Solutions
_____ develop from ovules after fertilization. The ovary wall
thickens/matures to form a fruit. Correct Answers Seeds
_____ protects the seeds and aids in their dispersal. Correct
Answers Fruit
_________ are seed plants with reproductive structures called
flowers and fruits. Correct Answers Angiosperms
___________ is the transfer of pollen to the part of the seed
plant containing the ovules. Correct Answers Pollination
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: __________ fungi
absorb nutrients from living organisms. Correct Answers Both
parasitic and mutualistic fungi depend on living organisms for
their nutrients. Decomposer fungi, on the other hand, obtain
nutrients from nonliving organic material.
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: A dramatic
example of the pathogenicity of certain fungi is the dramatic
decrease of the American chestnut tree by __________. Correct
Answers The disease, chestnut blight, is caused by an
introduced ascomycete.
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: A pea pod is
formed from __________. A pea inside the pod is formed from
__________. Correct Answers A pod is a fruit, and a fruit
,develops from an ovary. The pea develops from an ovule
surrounding a zygote and its food supply.
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: After fertilization,
the __________ develops into a seed and the __________
develops into a fruit. Correct Answers Ovule; ovary. The
integuments of the ovule develop into the seed coat, which gives
rise to the seed, and the ovary develops into a fruit.
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: Alternation of
generations is distinguished by... Correct Answers Haploid and
diploid stages that are both multicellular
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: At current rates of
deforestation, tropical rain forests will be eliminated in
__________ years. Correct Answers At current deforestation
rates, it is estimated that tropical rain forests will be eliminated
from Earth in 200 years.
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: During
pollination, pollen grains are transferred from the __________
to the __________. Correct Answers Anther; stigma
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: During what stage
of fungal reproduction are diploid cells produced? Correct
Answers Karyogamy stage is the only time in the life cycle of a
fungus that diploid cells exist.
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: Fern
gametophytes are __________. Correct Answers Free-living,
multicellular organisms
, *Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: Ferns and mosses
are limited mostly to moist environments because __________.
Correct Answers Both types of plants have flagellated sperm.
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: Fungi are
__________ organisms. Correct Answers Like animals, fungi
are chemoheterotrophs. They must get both their energy and
carbon skeletons by absorbing pre-digested nutrients from the
environment.
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: How are gametes
produced by bryophytes? Correct Answers By mitosis of
gametophyte cells.
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: In charophytes,
__________ protect(s) zygotes from desiccation. Correct
Answers Sporopollenin. This is a strong polymer that protects
the delicate zygote from drying out. This substance is also found
in the coverings of pollen grains and helps the pollen resist
environmental damage.
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: In contrast to
plants, the cell walls of fungi are composed of __________.
Correct Answers The chitin found in fungal cell walls is
identical to the chitin found in the exoskeleton of arthropods.
*Mastering Biology Chapter 26 practice quiz: In fungi, the
function of the mycelium is __________. Correct Answers
Obtaining food. The hyphae form an interwoven mat called a
mycelium, the feeding network of a fungus.
