What are some distinguishing characteristics of Kingdom Plantae ?
1. Eukaryotic
2. Multicellular, dependent embryos
3. Photosynthetic autotrophs
4. Varied & complex life cycles
5. Cell walls made of cellulose
6. Food reserve stored as starch or oils
What life cycle to plants go through?
1. Alternation of generations
In the alternation of generations life cycle, what does the diploid phase produce?
1. Sporophyte
What do the sporophytes produce?
1. Haploid spores by meiosis
What do the spores develop into?
1. Gametophyte
What do the gametophytes produce?
1. Male and female gametes
When these gametes fuse, what do them form?
1. A diploid zygote that then grows into another sporophyte

What are some traits of algae?
1. Most or all of life cycle in water> tidal forms
2. No vascular tissue
3. No leaves, stomata or cuticle
4. Variation in dominant form of life cycle
- in some sporophyte is dominant
- in some gametophyte is dominant

Document Summary

What are some distinguishing characteristics of kingdom plantae : eukaryotic, multicellular, dependent embryos, photosynthetic autotrophs, varied & complex life cycles, cell walls made of cellulose, food reserve stored as starch or oils. What life cycle to plants go through: alternation of generations. In the alternation of generations life cycle, what does the diploid phase produce: sporophyte. What do the sporophytes produce: haploid spores by meiosis. What do the spores develop into: gametophyte. What do the gametophytes produce: male and female gametes. When these gametes fuse, what do them form: a diploid zygote that then grows into another sporophyte. What are the most primitive plant types: algae. What is it called when the sporophyte & the gametophyte have a different appearance: heteromorphic. What is it called when the sporophyte & the gametophyte have similar appearances: isomorphic. When plants made the transition from water to land, what was the anchoring mechanism: roots. What were the conducting vessels: xylem & phloem.
