Q

What is apical meristem?

A

It is a region which give rise to undifferentiated tissues. which allows plants to continuously grow and forms new tissues.

Q

What are the three features of the plant embryo?

A
  1. multicellular and diploid
  2. retained on the gametophyte.
  3. depends on organic and mineral materials supplied by mother placental transfer tissue.

Q

What are some key characteristic about bryophyte?

A
  1. small, primitive, and simple plants that lacks true leave and root.
  2. require moist habitat to live.

Q

How does moses benefit it environment?

A

They may prevent erosion and they develop rich organic soil.

17
Q

What is gametangia?

A

It inhouses the gametes produced by gametophyte.

18
Q

What is the function gametangia?

A

it protects gametes from drying out and microbial attack.

19
Q

What is sporangia?

A

It inhouses spores.

20
Q

What is the function of sporopollenin?

A

It helps prevent damage of spores during air dispersal.

21
Q

What is tracheophyte?

A

It is a vascular plant.

22
Q

What are key features of seedless vascular plant?

A
  1. sporophyte generation dominates and may become independent of the reduced gametophyte.
  2. unlike bryophyte, the sporophyte are branched.
  3. possess plant organs such as, leaves, root, and stems.
23
Q

What specialized conducting tissues does vascular seedless plants have?

A

They have:

  1. Xylem: conduct water and mineral from root and stem to leaves
  2. phloem: conduct sugar from the photosynthetic leaves
24
Q

What is the function of root?

A
  1. uptake of water and mineral from soil

2. provide support

25
Q

What is the function of stem?

A
  1. contain vascular tissues
  2. cell wall contain lignin for structural support
  3. produces leaves and reproductive tissues.
26
Q

What is the function of leaves?

A

They provide surface area for capturing sunlight for photosynthesis.

27
Q

What are the adaptations of vascular plants that conserve water?

A
  1. size of plants
  2. three dimensional structure
  3. waxy cuticle on most surfaces
  4. stomata
28
Q

How does the size of plant help conserve water?

A

large size help withstand drought and mechanical stress.

29
Q

How does the three dimensional structure help conserve water?

A

low area to volume ratio reduces the evaporative water loss.

30
Q

How does waxy cuticle help conserve water?

A

prevent desiccation and pathogen attack.

31
Q

How does stomata help conserve water?

A

They are found on stem and leaves, and they are pores that can be opened and closed to permit gas exchange while minimizing water loss.
