Biology H-Mr.Willets
1) Some bacteria are photosynthetic. Why are they not in the Plant Kingdom? Algae are photosynthetic. Why are they not in the Plant Kingdom?
2) What is the name for mosses (and related non-vascular plants?) What is the name given to vascular plants?
3) What common factor is involved with many of the problems land plants faced?
4) What problem associated with sexual reproduction did land plants have to eventually solve?
What problems had to be solved in order to grow tall? Why would being tall help land plants?
What are the two types of vascular tissue and what does each do? What two general purposes do roots serve?
5) To a large degree, mosses did not solve the problems associated with being on land. As a result, they must live where?
6)What generation of mosses do we usually see? Why are they called gametophytes? Where does the offspring of the gametophyte grow? What generation is the offspring of the gametophyte? How do these offspring reproduce? What name is given to this type of life cycle?
8) All tracheophytes have what tissue that mosses lack. What are the two types of this tissue and what does each do? What is the other name for tracheophytes?
9) Pterophytes are what kind of plants? Pterophytes need what in order to reproduce?
10) What are the leaves of ferns called? Where are the stems of ferns located? What is this type of stem called? What is the function of the little brown dots on the underside of fern leaves? What generation is the fern that you normally see ?
11) Why must the gametophyte generation of ferns be small and on the ground?
12) What name is given to young fern fronds? What are these good for? Of what value to us are the ferns from millions of years ago?
13) What name is given to plants that produce seeds? What do these plants use that allow them to reproduce without water?
14) What does the fertilized egg of a spermatophyte develop into? What three parts does this have?
15) What type of spermatophyte produces pollen and eggs in cones? What does this name mean? What are most of these plants commonly called?(2 names) What gymnosperm loses its broad leaves in the fall?
16) What type of plants produce pollen and eggs in flowers? What does this name mean? What do we commonly call these plants? When the seeds leave the plant, they are surrounded by what structure?
The fruit of flowering plants is designed usually for what purpose? Give examples.
17) What are the two types of flowering plants? Give examples of each kind? How are the seeds of these two kinds different? How are the leaves different? How is the vascular tissue arranged in the stem of each? Generally, which kind is tall and thin?
