Document Summary

In forms of starch in the chloroplast or other plastids: mitosis! Protective jackets of sterile cells: alternation of generation occurs: haploid gametophyte and diploid sporophyte take turns producing one another, hapolid(n, diploid (2n) Green algae: green algae: charophychean: closest relative to land based on, both have rosette cellulose synthesizing complex structure, peroxisome enzymes of both help minimize loss of organic products to photorespiration, flagellated sperm is similar, formation of the phragmoplast. The kingdom platae: non-vascular, bryophytes: 3 phylum, what are the two adaptations, waxy cuticle: retain water, gametes developed in gametangia, antheridia: male gametangia, archeagonia: female gametangia. Vascular plants: seedless: life cycle with dominant sporophyte (2n) and the gametophyte (n) become reduced, what developed in seedless plants, xylem: transports water and nutrients from roots, phloem: transports photosynthesized material (glucose) from leaves. Leaves: organ that increases surface area for light, microphyllous leaves: only contains one vein (early leaves, megaphyllous leaves: highly branched leaves (more than one vein)
