Algae
The kingdom algaes are part of
Protista
When egg and sperm meet this is called.
Fertilization
The dominant generation of lycophytes
sporophyte
Where the ferns grow generally
The understory
Plantae what what types of cells
Plant cells
The name for red algae
Rhodophyta
The dominant generation (the one we see) of bryophytes
Gametophyte
The structure of the sporophyte that does meiosis that looks like a pinecone or club/bat
Strobilus
The plural term for where the spores are produced via meiosis (made into haploids)
sporangia
Vascular plants are distinguished by having these structures.
Xylem and phloem
Algaes are similar to plants due to this chemical reaction
Photosynthesis
These structures help anchor bryophytes to the ground
Rhizoids
The haploid cell that comes from an archegonium
Egg cell
The singular term for the brown/orange/black dots under a “frond”/ leaf of the fern that contain sporangium
Sorus
In vascular plants a structure on the underside of a leaf used to regulate water flow is called this
stomata
The algae that causes large blooms that devastate the environment
Cyanobacteria
The sporophytes head is called
capsule
The reason why lycophytes have their name
Shaped like a wolf’s foot
The generation that is short lived is called
gametophyte
The names of the 2 alternating generations in plants
Gametophyte and sporophyte
Euglena are unicellular chlorophyta what is the likely their type metabolism?
Heterotrophic/Autotrophic (will accept both)
The name of the male head of the gametophyte which produce what type of cell with how many sets of chromosomes? (3 parts)
Antheridium
Sperm cells
Haploid
The period that lycophytes originated from and were dominant in
Silurian period
Fern spores get released and carried by the wind, why would they be found on the underside of the frond?
For protection and better wind dispersal (think of a tunnel)
The structure that helps sperm move in water
Flagellum
