Chapter 6 Plant Kingdom Flashcards
(55 cards)
Heteromorphic Alternation of Generations
(sporic meiosis)
Kingdom Plante life cycle
Repoductive Structures of Kingdom Plantae
Sporangia and gametangia surrounded by sterile jacket
Sterile Jacket
Vegetative cell layer(s) that themselves do not undergo meiosis or produce gametes.
Zygotes grows into embryo
embryo is an immature sporophyte temporarily retained within the female gametangium.
Characteristics of Kingdom Plantae
- Pigmentation
- Flagilation
- Cell Wall
- Food Storage
chlorophylls a and b, beta carotene, cellulose cell walls, and starch wiplash flagella.
Vascular Plants
sporophyte generation containing xylem and phloem
Non Vascular Plants
sporophyte generation lacks true vascular tissue: xylem and phloem.
Botanical Classification
phyta = division
Quote from Class
You will either eat a plant or eat an animal who ate a plant! – Dr. Robins
Plantae Kingdom
Nearly 400,000 described species
about 300,000 flowering plants (Magnoliophyta)
Magnoliophyta
Flowering plants; kingdom plantae

Bryophytes Lifecycle
heteromorphic alterations of generations (sporic meiosis)
Bryophtes gametophyte generation
- Miotic division in an apical meristem
- Produce thread rhizoids that absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
- bisexual gametophyte (male and female gametangia)
- biflagellated sperm cells (spermatozoids)
- antheridium ( spermatozoids production)
- archegonium is a single egg cell production
