Characteristic
Plants are multicellular, eukaryotic, and photosynthetic autotroph. Land plants are said to be closely related to present day charophyte, and can help us connect plants to some algae. Charophytes is an organism that is a type of fresh water algae. Plants have distinctive traits that relate to charophytes, thus suggesting that the land plants have derived from algae. They contain rings of cellulose-synthesizing proteins; they contain structure-flagellated sperm, and form phragmoplast (Reece et al. p.614). Plants have five specific traits that are only found in land plants and not in the charophyte. There are some key traits that only belong to plants such as; alternations of generation, multicellular, dependent embryos, walled spores produced in sporangia, multicellular gametagia, and apical meristems (Reece et. al 2014).
Most plants are known as either nonvascular plants or vascular plants. Nonvascular plants are called bryophyte and can be represented by liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. These types of plants release spores to get to the bud of the plant and the sperm as to swim throughout the film of moister to reach the egg in order to reproduce.

Some of the earliest fungi had these flagella. Fungi is a very diverse and widespread organism, it is heterotrophic, multicellular filaments, and yeasts. Fungi’s structure contains hyphae, individual feathery filaments; it also has mycelium, meaning a spongy feeling. They lack stems, leaves, and roots and fungi can grow in any direction. It also has a cell wall made of chitin. Fungi are quite different from algae, plants, and animals. Fungi cannot make their own food and do not ingest their food, they absorbs nutrients from the environment that is outside of its body. There are three major phyla of fungi, the zygomycetes, ascomycetes, and basidiomycetes (Reece et al. p.

  • Euwallacea Tree Lab Report

    475 Words  | 2 Pages

    The ambrosia beetle used in this experiment will be Euwallacea sp, otherwise known as the PSHB jeopardizing many tree species in Southern California. Two tree species will be used in this experiment. Koelreuteria paniculata, the golden-rain tree, will be used as an example of a gumming tree and Persea americana, the avocado tree, will be used as the positive control for this experiment as it is a known species of tree endangered by the PSHB/Fusarium complex. The negative control would be a healthy, uninfected golden-rain tree. A total of 26 trees of each species will be assessed in order to perform reliable statistical analyses on the results obtained and to maintain a controlled number of specimens to ensure repeatability and reliability: 25 of each tree will be directly involved in the experiment and 1 of each will be the positive and negative controls.

    682 Words  | 3 Pages

    Douglas-fir and red alder have seeds that use wings, signifying the use of the wind as a method of seed dispersal. Both trees have seeds than are covered in a seed coat and have nutrient reserves. Gymnosperms, however, have a large megagametophye, which is the haploid nutritional tissue. Angiosperms typically have a smaller megagametophye, that later develops into an endosperm (red alder, however, does not have an endosperm). When seeds germinate, general 4 steps usually occur first: 1) Imbibition, when seeds swells with water and the seed coat ruptures 2) Metabolism increases.

    1) Plants have evolved many ways in which they can survive well on land. a) Identify three changes that had to occur for plants to move from a life mostly in water to a life on land. Three changes that had to occur for the plants to move from aquatic to terrestrial life are the following: Body support: In water, the plants are buoyant and the effect of gravity on them is minimal. The reason of developing rigid stem is to support the plants in a way that it can grow higher above the land.

Pollan introduces the ideas of polyculture and monoculture to readers, and then he references to historical events for both ideas. He also focuses on the modern approach to potatoes agriculture, which includes GMO, traditional, and organic farming. The most striking strategy is Pollan’s comparison of the agricultural methods on planting potatoes throughout history.

    Rebecca Dwyer 215 033 159 “The Advantages of a Dominant Sporophyte over a Dominant Gametophyte” It is commonly known by most people that the planet that humans call home is inhabited by many other diverse forms of life. Further than this, it is evident that a large percentage of these life forms are plants. This could be seen as a slight paradox- plants can be considered more primitive than animals, because they are incapable of movement in order to escape from predation, or to reach close contact distance with other organisms for the purpose of reproduction. How then, one could ask, has the survival of the plant kingdom been so successful?
