T18 Flashcards

1
Q

early vascular plants - rhynia

A

no leaves, no specialised roots, just above ground stems and below ground stems

these can be separated into terminal and lateral sporangia

Q

leaves structure

A

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

Q

lateral sporgania evolved into ….

A

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

Q

movement in animals

A

animals have muscles

sessile animals- to attach to or root to substrate

motile animals are the moving animals

Q

motile animals can either be ….

A

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

Q

in order to move, need to overcome

A

gravity, drag, inertia and friction
this is all dependent on body size and thickness of medium

Q

amoebiod movement

A

not seen in whole animal organisms
-pseudopod extendes forward to move as the internal fluid flows into them - seen in white blood cells

Q

ciliary movement

A

uses cilliar to move with powerstroke
seen in swimming larvae and ctenophores

powerstroke to move forward, recovery stroke to retract

Q

musclar movement

A

all animals expect sponges
3 types of muscles
-smooth - in blood vessles or digestive tract
cardiac - in heart with low fatigue rate
skeletal - paralell fibres called myofibrils divided into sections called sacromeres which have a myosin and actin protein

17
Q

muscles can only contract

A

because of this, must require skeleton to attach to
muscles work in antagonistic pairs to move

18
Q

how does muscles contract?

A
  1. active site on actin exposed as ca2+ bind to troponin
  2. myosin head forms a cross bridge with actin
  3. during powerstrok the myosin head bends and ADP and phosphate is released
  4. new molecule of ATP attaches to myosin head causing cross bridge to detach a

this process repeats

19
Q

hydrostatic skeleton

A

longitudinal muscle and circular muscle work together
when the L relaxes and C contract
- squeezes body segement down and narrows, causing lengthening

when L contracts and C relaxes
- bigger and wider body but shorter

20
Q

Rigid exoskeleton

A

mollusc shells - calcium carbonate to protect and use for locomotion

cuticle exoskeleton- chitin which is strong and flexible, these shed as animal growsr

21
Q

rigid endoskelton

A

hard element in soft tissue
- internal spciules - protect but no locomotion
internal ossicles - protection
internal bone - protection support and locomotion
