Key concepts
-Green plants include both green algae and land plants.
-adaptations to dry land
-efficient reproduction adaptations
adaptations to dry land:
Prevent water loss
Transport water from tissues with acess to water to tissues without
Cuticle: keeps water and CO2 out
Stomata: pores with guardcells for gas excahnge
Vascular tissue: erect stems (no fighting for sunlight) and transport water
Vascular tissue
Tracheids: have gaps in secondary wall
Vessel elements: no cell walls
Lignin
structural polymer built from 6-C rings for support and strength in vascular tissue
gametangia
protect gametes from drying and damage (all but angiosperms have these)
alteration of generations
GAMETOPHYTE (N) -mitosis-> GAMETES (N) -fertilization-> ZYGOTE (2N) -mitosis-> SPOROPHYTE (2N) -meiosis-> SPORES (N) -mitosis-> GAMETOPHYTE
Heterospory (only in seed plants)
MALE SPORES: microsporangia --> microspore --> male gametophyte (pollen grain) --> sperm

FEMALE: megasporangia --> megaspore --> female gametophyte --> eggs
How does evolution of POLLEN help
lose dependence on water for fertilization
how does evolution of SEEDS help
can disperse embryos away from parent (efficient reproduction)
how does evolution of FLOWER help
allows successful geographical distribution
