- Exercise II: Monilophyta Part A: Ferns The ferns differ from other seedless vascular plants in their possession of megaphylls, larger leaves with multiple veins. Examine the many living fern sporophytes. There is much diversity in megaphyll morphology. (See also text Figures 17-23, 24, 26, and 36, pages 413, 414, 416, and 424). Identify the frond, the rhizome, and the roots. Most fern fronds are compound, with the blade divided into separate leaflets. If young leaves are present, notice how they unfold. These young leaves are often called fiddleheads. Examine the leaves for the presence of sporangia. Notice if they are grouped together in sori (singular: sorus), distributed evenly over the lower surface of the leaf, or in other patterns. The sporangia of some species may be protected by specialized outgrowths of the leaf called indusia (singular: indusium) (See text Figure 17-32, page 420). 6. Is the indusium diploid or haploid?.

Which of the following statements about ferns is not true? (a) ferns have motile sperm cells that swim through water to the egg-containing archegonium (b) ferns are vascular plants (c) ferns are the most economically important group of bryophytes (d) the fern sporophyte consists of a rhizome, roots, and fronds (e) the diversity of ferns is greatest in the tropicsarrow_forward
- Test Your Understanding Apply and Analyze 13. You are given a plant that you have never seen before (see figure). Is it a gymnosperm or angiosperm? A monocot or eudicot? What are the features that helped you make these determinations?arrow_forwardExercise II Bryophyta: The Mosses Examine with the dissecting microscope the mosses that are available. The "leafy" plants are the gametophytes and any elongated structures growing above them are the sporophytes. (See text Figure 16-27, page 385.) 15. Label the following in Figure 5 below: spores, zygote, protonema, gametophyte, meiosis, female, male, sporophyte, archegonia, sperm, sporangium.

Moss Life Cycle (drawn by Stephanie Preising, SCSU '20) Obtain a gametophyte and observe its symmetry, its leaf like structures, its axis (pseudo- stem), and is rhizoids. Some species of mosses are unisexual; others are bisexual. The moss gametophyte originates as budlike structures that develop from a protonema (plural: protonemata), a system of branching filaments derived from a germinating spore.arrow_forward11.

The embryonic stem in a seed is called the (a) radicle. (b) hypocotyl. (c) seed cont. (d) endosperm. 15. Pollen contains (a) male gametes. (b) female gametes. (c) fruits. (d) a stigma.arrow_forward
- 1. Skunk cabbage has evolved stinky flowers because (a) the smell prevents other plants from growing nearby all year long. (b) all yellow flowers smell bad. (c) the odor attracts pollinators. (d) the odor repels pollinators. 2. Which of the following is not a characteristic of most plants? (a) carries out photosynthesis (b) has cell walls made of cellulose (c) has yellow flowers (d) has specialized reproductive organs 3. Much of the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere (a) is produced as a waste product of cellular respiration in plants. (b) is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

(b) produces diploid spores by meiosis. (c) produces diploid spores by mitosis. (d) produces haploid spores by mitosis. 5. Fusion of male and female gametes in plants produces (a) a eudicot stamen. (b) a style. (c) a haploid spore.…arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not an adaptation of pine needles to conserve water? (a) less surface area exposed to the air than thin-bladed leaves (b) a relatively thick cuticle (c) sunken stomata (d) netted veins instead of parallel veins (e) both c and d are not adaptations of pine needlesarrow_forwardExercise II Bryophyta: The Mosses de Examine with the dissecting microscope the mosses that are available. The "leafy" plants are the gametophytes and any elongated structures growing above them are the sporophytes. (See text Figure 16-27, page 385.) 15.
