T18 Flashcards
early vascular plants - rhynia
no leaves, no specialised roots, just above ground stems and below ground stems
these can be separated into terminal and lateral sporangia
terminal sporgania
spore bodies on end of stems, leaves with this trait evolved
lateral sporangia
sporagnia on side of stem , leaves evolved from these
leaves structure
high surface area which is negative will absorb lots of light so lose lots of heart
also need lots of stomas to prevent overheating and evaporation of water
need to find a good balance as too many stomata would increase co2 conc which is toxic
made it an issue for plants to have leaves for a while because of this
terminal sporgania evolved into… plants
seed plants called monilophyta - ferns
lateral sporgania evolved into ….
lycophyta
microphyll leaves which caused serve limits in growth form
- can specialise parts of stem to be smaller to produce spore bearing cones which protects
microphyll leaves
evolved from out growths on a stem
megaphyll leaves
evolved from branched ste - fern leaves
ferns
are monilophyta plants
sporangia borne on underside of fern leaves
movement in animals
animals have muscles
sessile animals- to attach to or root to substrate
motile animals are the moving animals
motile animals can either be ….
passive - drift in current or float in air, require little energy
active - utilises energy to move and find food
search for mate
escape predator and migrate
in order to move, need to overcome
gravity, drag, inertia and friction
this is all dependent on body size and thickness of medium
amoebiod movement
not seen in whole animal organisms
-pseudopod extendes forward to move as the internal fluid flows into them - seen in white blood cells
flagellar movement
seen in sperm cells to swim
ciliary movement
uses cilliar to move with powerstroke
seen in swimming larvae and ctenophores
powerstroke to move forward, recovery stroke to retract
