Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The characteristics distinguish a vascular plant from a non vascular plant and how these differences affect their geographic distribution.
Introduction:
Plants are mainly multicellular predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Based on the vasculature, it can be divided in to two types, vascular plants and non vascular plants. Vascular plants are also called as tracheophytes or higher plants. Vascular plants include all seedling plants such as gymnosperms,

What separates the plant Families Pinaceae, Poaceae, Sapindaceae, Crassulaceae, and Asteraceae from one another?
There are two types of semaphyll - intrafloral semaphyll and extrafloral semaphyll. Intrafloral semaphyll is when it is from any four parts of the flowers, while it is extrafloral semaphyll if it comes from other parts outside of the flower-like stems, leaves, etc.
Fill the table with the type of semaphyll and the plant part involved.

- What are leaves? what are the two types? What is the difference between homosporous plants and heterosporous plants? What are megaspores and microspores? What was significance of the ecological role of seedless vascular plants back when they dominated terrestrial habitats? Why is that so important to our modern world today?arrow_forwardYou are asked to survey an area and identify all plant and animal species you come across. On your survey, you come across a plant you are not familiar with and must do some research to figure out what it is. To do this, your first step is to determine whether this plant is classified in the class Monocotyledonae or a Eudicotyledonae. Explain how you can tell if this plant is a Monocot or Eudicot by describing the differences in their flowers, seeds, roots, stems, and leaves. 1.arrow_forwardWhat are threats to plant diversity?arrow_forward
- What is the most dominate and diverse group of plants (give both the technical and common name)?arrow_forwardWhile exploring a forest, you come upon a plant that you haven't seen before. You dig it up and take it back to your lab for further inspection. Back at the lab, you observe the characteristic structure of the plant and make some notes. Then, you carefully dissect the stems and leaves and look at the tissue under the microscope. Finally, you are able to determine the type of plant it is. Use the notes below to identify the class to which this plant belongs. Notes on physical characteristics of the specimen: the plant has no leaves or roots, but has hair-like rhizomes which anchors it in the soil the stems are highly branched sporangia are present at the ends of each stem dissection of the stem shows the presence of vascular tissue in the form of a xylem and phloemarrow_forwardhttp://botit.botany.wisc.edu/botany_130/diversity/plants/mosses.html Make a complete moss life cycle with the following phases and structures. Note: download the images of Mnium from this link and arrange them in the exact sequence to make the lifecycle. Lifecycle structures with cell division: Meiosis, fertilization within archegonium, capsule (sporangium), spores (n), protonema (n) (Image), male gametophyte (n) (Image), female gametophyte (n) (Image), antheridia (Image), archegonia (Image), sperm, egg, water, zygote (2n), embryo, young growing sporophyte (2n), mature sporophyte (2n) (Image), rhizoids.

- Do mosses have an alternation of isomorphic or heteromorphic generations? That is, can you easily tell a moss gametophyte from a moss sporophyte? When we look at leafy green moss plants, what are we seeing—the gametophyte or the sporophyte? In a flowering plant species, would the equivalent stage be the plant or the pollen grains and megagametophytes?arrow_forwardWhat is the most fundamental difference between the fern life cycle and that of mosses?arrow_forwardWhat is the name for plants that live in, and are adapted for, dry conditions?arrow_forward
