Document Summary

Lecture 25: the charophytes (green algae) are not actually ancestral to the land plants, they are the most closely related group of organisms, bryophytes had a dominant gametophyte phase to their life cycle. The success of the sporophytes is due to the development of organs and tissue systems: with the rise of the gymnosperms saw the development of the dependant gametophyte and the evolution of seeds. This allowed the gymnosperms and angiosperms to prosper: the seed plants are the most dominant group of plants on earth. The evolution of flowers with the angiosperms (e. g. palm tree and orchids) also occurred: the seed plants consist of two groups, the gymnosperms ( naked gymno and seed sperm, the angiosperms ( angio enclosed. One kind being the microspores (male tiny spores) and megaspores (female larger). They give rise to a dioecious gametophyte they produce one type of gamete.

b. The development of vessels to transport water
c. The development of roots to obtain nutrients and water fromsoil

Is it B or D? I would assume D is the seed of a gymnosperm.According to the info below, that came after the evolution ofvessels to transport water.

The oldest fossils reveal evolution of non-vascular plants bythe middle to late Ordovician Period (~450-440 m.y.a.) on the basisof fossil spores.
These first non-vascular, "amphibious" plants, were limitedprimarily to lowland, wet areas, of temperate to tropicallatitudes. Still most land areas were barren.
By some 420 m.y.a., seedless vascular plants evolved which werebigger and more diverse than their ancestors. These seedlessvascular plants required water for sperm to reach the eggs and werestill limited in their distribution to wet climates. These seedlessplants grew to tree size, reaching 10 or more meters by the lateDevonian (~370 m.y.a.). Lowland swampy environments had abundantseedless plants.
After the 1st land plants evolved (approximately 450 m.y.a.)they underwent rapid expansion and radiation with great forests byMiddle DevonianPeriod. (385 m.y.a.). Although these forests were limited in theirextent, vast quantities of organic material were deposited andpreserved in swampy environments. Through time and burial, thisorganic material was converted to coal, forming the firstsignificant coal deposits of Earth history.
At a similar time (late Devonian, ~375-360 m.y.a.), seedbearing gymnosperm plants (non-flowering) evolved. The developmentof the seed allowed plants to proliferate and spread to drier areasof continents. Gymnosperms became the dominant plant type between~290 to 145 m.y.a. and are still common today.
During the final days of the dinosaurs (Cretaceous), the finalchapter of plant evolution began. This was the evolution offlowering plants (angiosperms). During the Cretaceous Period,angiosperms began overcoming non-flowering plants as the dominantland plants. Since this time they have become the dominant landplants.

	All of the large dominant extantland plants are tracheophytes.
	Tracheids allow for efficienttransport of water over longer distances.
