vascular plant
|
plants with a tubelike system of vessels
|
|
|
|
alternation of generations
|
a cycle that alternates beltween the 2 forms (haploid & diploid) of the moss plant
|
|
|
|
sorus
|
spore-producing structures located on the underside of ferns' fronds
|

|
|
rhizoid
|
root-like filament that holds a moss in place
|
|
|
|
bog
|
a poorly drained area with spongy, wet ground that is composed mainly of dead & decaying plants. The decomposing & decaying are slowed because of lack of oxygen.

prothallus
|
fern's gametophyte
|
|
|
|
mitosis
|
asexual reproduction
|
|
|
|
pioneer species
|
1st plants ina new environment - prepare soil for other plants
|
|
|
|
nonvascular plant
|
plant with no vascular tissue - normally thinner, simpler, and not so detailed as vascular plants because they take nutrients DIRECTLY from the environment instead of having vessels (vascular tissue) to get the nutrients for them

|
red/yellow/orange pigment in some plants (like carrots!)
|
|
|
|
chlorophyll
|
green pigment in most plants used for photosynthesis

|
zygote
|
cell produced through fertilization

|
fertilization
|
process where sperm & egg join to form a zygote
|
|
|
|
What are the characteristics of ALL plants?
|
ALL plants are:
-multicellular -eukaryotic -cell walls -have roots/rootlike structures -pigments -do not move -they adapt to many different environments |
|
|
|
What are some good things about plants that grow on land?
|
-Carbon dioxide form living things on land
-nutrients from land |
|
|
|
Explain - BRYOPHYTES
|
BRYOPHTES
-live in damp areas -nonvascular -Peat Moss -Liverworts -Mosses -(pioneer plants) |
|
|
|
What is the difference between vascular and nonvascular?
|
VASCULAR:
-bigger -have vascular tissue -stronger and more detailed NONVASCULAR: -smaller -don't have any vascular tissue -simpler and weaker |
|
|
|
Characteristics of Mosses, Liverworts, Club
Mosses, Spike Mosses, Horsetails, & Ferns |
-gametophyte & sporophyte
-seedless/spores -cell walls -eukaryotic -multicellular -vascular or nonvascular |
