Chapter 25, Problem 5TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Plants belong to kingdom plantae and are multicellular and autotrophic eukaryotes. They can make their own food by the process of photosynthesis, as they contain chloroplast, which captures light energy to make glucose. Plants include gymnosperms, flowering plants, conifers, hornworts, mosses, green algae, liverworts, and mosses.

Review the life cycles of the three major plant groups (bryophyte or non-vascular plants, seedless vascular plants, and seed plants). Be able to identify the gametophyte and sporophyte generations in each plant group.
Make one graph that shows patterns of changes in the following characteristics, as the different plant groups (bryophytes or non-vascular plants, seedless vascular plants, and seed plants) appeared or evolved on land through time.
1) size of the gametophyte generation
2) size of the sporophyte generation
3) biomass (amount of organic material) stored in the sporophyte
4) degree of dependence on water for fertilization
Make sure the y- and x- axes of the graph, labels and title are included and correctly applied.

Group of answer choices seed development fossil record DNA sequences habitat distributionarrow_forwardMany fungi are decomposers and degrade organic matter (such as wood and leaf litter). It has become clear that many of these decomposers are also able to colonize live plants as endophytes (living inside the plant without causing any harm) and allowing for prime access to plant tissues once the plant dies. Explain, using the principles of natural selection, how having the ability to be both a decomposer and endophyte evolved. Make sure you include the four steps of evolution by natural selection in your response.arrow_forward

Both have a vascular system. Both live fully on land. Both produce seeds.arrow_forwardThe ancestor of the chloroplasts found in green algae was most likely; A free living photosynthetic bacteria A free living brown algae A cell from a land plant A free living red algaearrow_forwardWhich biological events took place during the Paleozoic Era and the Mesozoic Era? O During the Paleozoic Era, three mass extinctions occurred which led to the colonization of land by plants, while during the Mesozoic Era, gymnosperms became the dominant plant life. O During the Mesozoic Era, five mass extinctions occurred which led to the colonization of land by plants, while during the Paleozoic Era, angiosperms became the dominant plant life.

- What could be the link between the land-plants with the emergence of photosynthetic protists, algae? Could algae be the ancestor of plant? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardPlants made the leap from water to land during the late Ordovician period (we think). In order to make it, various physical obstacles had to be overcome. Choose one adaptation and explore it further. What evidence do we have of this change? Are there specific fossils of plants that exhibit it? How do we think it may have developed? Not all of these changes occurred at the exact same time. Was your chosen adaptation one of the first or late to the game? including references are appreciated.arrow_forwardThe kingdom Plantae constitutes large and varied groups of organisms. There are more than 300,000 species of identified and cataloged plants. Using the geologic record, discuss and explain when and how plants colonized the land. Include the adaptations that enabled them to survive on land amid the harsh environmental conditions.arrow_forward
