- Discuss Concepts Compare the size, anatomical complexity, and degree of independence of a Douglas fir female gametophyte and a dogwood female gametophyte. Which one is the most protected from the external environment? Which trend(s) in plant evolution does your work on this question bring to mind?arrow_forwardEVOLUTION LINK Like stems in general, some vines are herbaceous and others are woody. Tropical rain forests have a greater diversity of vines than in any other environment on Earth, and most of these vines are woody. Develop a hypothesis to explain why natural selection has favored the evolution of more species of woody vines (as opposed to herbaceous vines) in tropical rain forests.arrow_forwardCONNECT How do the life cycles of seedless plants (see Chapter 27) and seed plants differ? In what fundamental ways are they alike?arrow_forward
- Evaluate and Synthesize 14. EVOLUTION LINK How may the following trends in plant evolution be adaptive to living on land? (a) dependence on water for fertilization no need for water as a transport medium (b) homospory heterosporyarrow_forwardMarine angiosperms form a significant component of the sea grass, mangroves and salt marsh communities. Explain in detail what are the 5 adaptations that help seagrass adapt their ecology to such particular environments.arrow_forward. WHAT IF? If flowers had shorter styles, pollen tubeswould more easily reach the embryo sac. Suggest anexplanation for why very long styles have evolved inmost flowering plants.arrow_forward
- Apply Evolutionary Thinking A variety of structural features of land plants reflect the conflicting demands for conserving water and taking in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Identify at least four fundamental structural adaptations that help resolve this dilemma and explain how each one contributes to a land plants survival.arrow_forwardTOPIC: SEEDLESS VASCULAR PLANTS IDENTIFICATION 1. The dominant stage in the life cycle of ferns, horsetails and whisk ferns. 2. This refers to a moss-like vascular plant with prostrate stems and has strobili that bear two types of spores. 3. These are cell wall impregnations in the endodermis of higher plants that enables the route of water and nutrients to flow via the plasma membrane.arrow_forwardTOPIC: SEEDLESS VASCULAR PLANTS IDENTIFICATION 1. The megaphyll type of leaves in ferns that both function as a photosynthetic and reproductive organ. 2. The heart-shapedflat structure in the gametophyte generation of ferns. 3. The main organ for photosynthesis in higher plants.arrow_forward
- Moving evolutionarily through plant groups, from the nonvascular plants to the flowering plants, the gametophyte generation becomes more Explain how this pattern coincides with early plants’ move from aquatic, or at least moist, to terrestrial habitats.arrow_forwardQueation #1. Describe the different orders under the monocots in terms of plant habit, reproductive type (monoecius/dioecius), leaf type, leaf shape, floral characteristics, fruit morphology, seed size/shape, and other distinct features. Question #2. Identify the economic uses of at least 3 species in each order under the monocots. Question #3. Discuss the importance of several species of monocots in relation to the existence of human race. Do you think they are vital to our survival?arrow_forwardThe Apiaceae is closely related to the Araliaceae, the family to which ginseng and octopus tree belong.
