Bio 102 Exam 3
The Plant Cell
-Cell wall made of cellulose -Primary cell wall on outside -Secondary cell wall on inside -Vacuole- used for storage and osmotic regulations -Chloroplast * has all the organelles of an animal cell too
Gymnosperms have male and female cones
-Each scale on the female cone produces Megaspores -Each scale on the male cone produces microspores
Structure of Roots
-Epidermis -Cortex (ground tissue) -Stele (Vascular tissue) Pericycle- outermost cells of vascular bundle Endodermis= Innermost cells of cortex**
Vascular tissue arranged in a vascular bundle
-Fibers -Phloem -Xylem Vessels -Sieve tube -Companion cells
Move to land- locomotions
-Many fish have fins that are boney extensions -Some fossils and some fish today have flesh/muscle surround their fin bones -The muscled limbs of land animals are thought to have evolved from the simpler lobe-like muscled fins ex/ Mudskipper, lungfish -can walk on land for short periods
Seed Dormancy
-Many seeds are dry at maturity and this can allow the plant to withstand cold weather or other unfavorable conditions. When Dry seeds take up water-called imbibition Seeds that do not immediately germinate into plants-dormant -there are many adaptive mechanisms in various plants that allow them to regulate when to release the dormancy to fit their environment. Some seeds only germinate when their hard seed coat is damaged like alfalfa
Chordata: Mammalia
-Monophyletic class within the tetrapods Distinguishing characteristics: 1. Insulating hair or fur (keratin). 2. Endothermy—regulate body temperatures with internally generated heat. 3. Mammary glands for lactation - adaptation of sweat glands used to feed young
Insect Life Cycles
-Most arthropods of through distinct stages in their life cycle -The stages are distinct because of the exoskeleton -When they shed one exoskeleton they must rapidly grow before the next exoskeleton can be formed/finished
More complex animals develop symmetry
-Radial symmetry -Bilateral symmetry
The Pine Seed Structure
-Seed coat (Integuments) -Gametophyte -Embryo parts (Sporophyte II = 1n) -Cotyledones (embryonic leaves) -Shoot apical meristem -Hypocotyl -Root
The Ovule
-The megagametophyte develops inside the spore wall and the whole structure is called the Ovule -It stays within the Sporangium producing archegonia while still on the parent sporophyte (2n)
Pollen
-The microgametophyte develops while still inside the spore wall -This multicellular pollen is released and travels to land near the megagametophyte -The Pollen is light and has only a few cells so still can act like a spore and travel to the mega-gametophyte and egg Contains two haploid nucleii
How does the Xylem function even though its dead?
-When stomata open for gas exchange for photosynthesis (and respiration) the leaf loses lots of water. -Cell wall acts like a sponge, as they lose a little bit of water, it pulls the rest up through the Xylem by osmosis
Plant cells act as a group
-all move together -part of the reason there is less cancer in plants** Tissues- are composed of many cells unified for a common purpose
Traits of early metazoa
-body symmetry -neural nets -Gastrulation -Ectoderm -Endoderm -Mesoderm
Ray Finned Fishes
-came from early boned fish, they have true bones
Tetrapods: Amphibians
-earliest group of tetrapods -live in wet areas bc they breathe through their skin -strong pectoral muscles to help them move -external fertilization of eggs that need to live in aquatic environments
Giant squid and colossal squid
-have been reported in myths and in recent history. They can be very aggressive and have been seen attacking ships and in one case in a fight with a sperm whale. They can get to be 46 ft long (16 m)
What does an ovary do?
-helps control pollination -develops into fruit Functions: -protects seeds -disperses seeds
Move to land
-lungs are not modified gills, but extensions of the digestive tract -Many fish have swim bladders- it can change its buoyancy by squeezing or relaxing it
The Shoot Apical Meristem (SAM)
-originally formed in the embryo - A small population of 'stem' cells you need a microscope to see. - Creates the stem, leaves, and flowers
Working knowledge of osmosis
-solutes do not move across the membrane - instead the water moves to balance the concentration imbalance energy of osmosis= same energy of hydrogen gradients
Flowers
-stems modified for reproduction (like cones in gymnosperms -flowers differ by producing their ovules inside an extra vessel called the ovary/pistil Petals, stamen, sepals, receptical, pistil (ovary, style, stigma)
Transpiration
-when water is lost from leaf -water is absorbed by roots Transportation stream- water traveling through the plant
Fruit aids in seed dispersal
-wind -animals: seeds can be passed through them or on them
Chordate subphyla
1) Cephalochordates (sit in the ground and filter feed) 2) UROCHORDATES (look like jellyfish but still grouped with chordates bc the larva looks like adult of advanced species) 3) Vertebrates
3 main tissue types found in all plant organs
1) Epidermal tissue- elastic cuticle, how plants obtain water in the nuclei 2) Ground tissue- basic cells 3) Vascular tissues- Transports water- Xylem (big bubbles in cross section) and metabolites - Phloem ( collective little bubbles in cross section)
Land Plant Life Cycle
1) Sporangium produced on the sporophyte 2) Undergoes meiosis which creates either microspores or megaspores (1n) 3)Spores undergo mitosis, creates mega Gametophyte or Microgametophyte 4) Mega Gametangium (archegonium) produced on the mega gametophyte, Micro gametangium produced on microgametophyte (antheridium) 5) Houses either egg or sperm, goes through fertilization 6) Becomes zygote (2n) , undergoes mitosis 7) Becomes embryo, mitosis occurs and cycle repeats
Process of sugar transportation in the Phloem
1) Sugar is pumped into the companion cell and Sieve tube. 2) The osmotic pressure drops (hypertonic solution) and draws water into the phloem. 3) The phloem becomes pressurized and flows away from the source. 4) At the sink, sugars are pumped out of the companion cells and the water flows out of the phloem too. -Phloem goes wherever there is a companion cell thats letting sugars flow out Pushing= positive pressure
Why so many beetles?
1) They have been here a long time (some of the first to land) 2) Coevolved with plants - against plant toxins and -with plants as pollinators. 3) Can fly 4) Have tough exoskeleton 5) Resilient to environmental change -fast life cycle and many progeny
Angiosperms are the most abundant land plants (gymnosperms were even before them)
1) Variation in flower structure can promote out crossing (non self pollination) as well as create new barriers to reproduction - new species. 2) Leaves of angiosperms are more efficient at transporting water and so more efficient at photosynthesis
2 ways to get pollen
1) wind 2) pollinators
Micro Sporangium and Mega Sporangium
1n
Leaf Anatomy
A flattened organ primarily used in photosynthesis -Structured for light absorption and efficient gas exchange -Most are shorter lived than the rest of the plant and are discarded after a while. -The region of cells between veins in the blade is called the lamina- DOES THE BULK OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Phloem needs to maintain
A plasma membrane
The middle layer of a lichen contains
Algae
How to reproduce away from water
Amniotic egg- allow the embryo to develop and be protected in non-aqueous environments. The embryos are surrounded by three membranes/layers of fluid creating a 'little pool' allowing the embryo to develop on land. These structures are still called eggs even though is is past the point of fertilization A shell of calcium carbonate is found on the outside of the egg - this feature added by the vaginal wall requires that the egg be fertilized internally - another adaptation suited to living on land.
Parental Care
Any action by a parent that improves the ability of its offspring to survive. Among animals, mammals and birds provide the most extensive parental care. Female mammals lactate—they produce milk and use it to feed their offspring after birth. Among large animals, the evolution of extensive parental care is hypothesized to be a major reason for the evolutionary success of mammals and birds. In both lineages, mothers produce relatively small numbers of large, high-quality offspring.

Apical Meristems
Adventitious Roots- originates from stems and/or leaves
Banyan tree - Adventitious roots allow the tree to spread over large areas Adventitious 'Prop' roots form from the stem of plants for support
Not all dinosaurs went extinct
Birds
Early boney fish- armored fish
Bones are collagen (protein) with a deposit of hydroxyapatite The first bones in the fossil record boney scales on the body and then plates surrounding the superior/ head end of the body called the Cranium(like a helmet) Next the internal vertebrae became boney
Modified stems
Cacti and succulent plants- water storage Bulb- Stem with fleshy leaves Rhizome- below ground horizontal stem (Ginger) Stolon- above ground stem (Strawberry)
535 Mya Early Animals as seen in the Cambrian fossils
Called the Cambrian explosion because they appeared quickly (in the fossil record) Fossils more likely since many animals have shells and bones Most major groups are represented in these fossils Present in these groups are bones, shells, segmented bodies, and more efficient predators
In between xylem and phloem...
Cambium
Root Crops
Carrots, Radishes, Turnips, beets, sweet potatoes -BUT NOT POTATOES
Hagfish and Lampreys
Chordates/vertebrates, but jawless, no true bones -Hagfish release a slime into the water when attacked Lampreys- live as a parasite
Tension Cohesion Theory-Water in the Xylem is...
Cohesive -it sticks to itself and so it acts like a 'rubber band' - a loss of water on the top pulls the water chain upward
Stem Anatomy- Cross Section
Different organs have characteristic patterns of vascular tissue. Two groups of Angiosperms are the Dicots and the monocots. -Functions to transport water and sugars up and down the plant as well as support leaves and reproductive organs
Whats different about dermal tissue in root?
Doesn't have a cuticle bc it has to absorb things
Multicellularity allows for higher levels of organization
Early stages in Metazoa multicellularity/development Multicellular organisms with specialized cells can develop groups of similar cells organized into tightly integrated and functional units called TISSUES - First level of organization Single layer of 'epithelium' covering multicellular body. -Most sponges only have this level of complexity
Protostomes- Annelida
Earthworms and Leeches Multicellular, bilaterally symmetric, CNS, Cephalization, three tissue types, protostome, coelom, segmented
Metazoan (animalia)
Eukaryotes -Heterotrophic (ingest prey) -Life cycle is diplontic (no multicellular haploid) -Store their carb reserves as glycogen -Multicellular (specialized cells) -No cell wall- instead have extracellular matrix -Almost all phyla contains neurons that transmit electrical signals to other cells and muscle cells to allow movement
Root Hairs
Extensions of individual epidermal cells (so small!) located near the tips of roots. Functions: -increase surface area -absorb water and minerals -Mosses have rhizoids (hairs) but no roots
Enchinodermata
Features; -Larvae have bilateral symmetry -Water vascular system allows some transport and hydrostatic pressure 1. Podia extend from arms 2. attach and move species (don't confuse with cillia which are cellular organelles) -The more common image we have of a sea urchin is just the endoskeleton The live organism looks different
Ophistokonts
Features; Single flagellum = unikonta Mitochondria have disc shaped crustae in mitochondria ( other lineages have tube shaped christae) last common ancestor for Eukaryotic and Heterotrophic -branches include colonial, cell walls, multicellular, tissues have neurons, radial and bilateral symmetry
Fibrous Root
Finely branched - cover a large surface area. More efficient absorption of water & minerals at surface -Roots hold the soil to prevent erosion. Example: Grass

What comes next in the listed life cycle sequence: Zygote, meiosis, haploid stage,
Gametes
Female reproductive structures- ovules are in the ovary
Gymnosperms- develop ovules in 'naked' on the upper surface of cone scales Angiosperms- develop ovules in the ovary of the pistil/carpel
Protostomes- Arthropoda
Huge phylum, Multicellular, bilaterally symmetric, CNS, Cephalization, segmented, three tissue types, Protostome, coelom -Exoskeleton that needs to be shed for growth

Pollination/Pollinators
Hummingbird- flowers small and tubular Beetle- flat strong flowers to support crawling insect Bat- Nectar produced in nighttime, flowers large to support bats ex/ wild bananas Flies- flowers low to ground with odor and color of rotting meat
Angiosperms have Double Fertilization
In each ovule there are two fertilization events. - One event produces the embryo that divides to become the new sporophyte (2N) - The other fertilization combines one sperm nucleus with two female gametophyte cells to becomes the endosperm (3N)
Simple and Compound Leaves
In simple leaves the blade lamina fills around all the veins. In compound leaves the blade lamina only extends around subsets of the veins creating leaflets Hint - leaves have axially buds above the base of the leaf on the stem, leaflets do not.
Innovations that occur in some vertebrates
Innovations that occur in some members of this group 1. Bony exoskeleton. 2. Jaws. 3. Bony endoskeleton. 4. Limbs capable of moving on land. 5. Amniotic egg.
Root Structures: Lateral Roots
Lateral roots-initiate growth from within the older root on the vascular tissue. They organize and then grow out through the ground tissue and epidermis.
Leaf Abscission
Leaves on a plant are consistently renewed. When a leaf is older, or less efficient, it is typically abscised (cut off the plant) in a controlled way. Plants that drop all their leaves seasonally are called Deciduous (fall leaves)
Gastrulation Significance
Mesoderm- allows formation of coelum (a tube within a tube) ; -cushions organs -seperations internal from external environment -allows formation of body organs
Angiosperm seed structure
Monocot- corn Dicot- bean -Seed Coat developed from maternal tissue surrounds and protects the embryo -An Endosperm (sometimes still present in mature seeds) a separate genetic composition (3N) to the embryo and usually serves to store energy for the embryo to use later -A new Embryo/sporophyte with root and shoot and some leaves already formed.
Angiosperm Leaf Vein Pattern
Monocot- parallel veins Dicot- netted veins
Chordata: Reptilia
Monophyletic group Reptiles are well-adapted for terrestrial life because of three distinguishing features: 1. Production of keratin (protein) for scales and claws. 2. Well-developed lungs. 3. Amniotic eggs.
Pollination as a mutualism
Most flowering plants pollen is transported by animals -- Pollen: high in protein - Also has lipids, minerals, starch - Flower can produce Nectar, Oils and Resins -plant gets pollen transferred, animals get reward ex/Bees and flowers are the classic example of a mutualistic relationship. The bees collect pollen as well as nectar provided by the flowers. In exchange some of the pollen is transferred from flower to flower
Four Subphyla of Arthropoda
Most number of species of any Animalia 1) Subphylum crustacea- crabs, crayfish, pilings, waterless, copepods 2) Subphylum Chelicerate (scorpions, ticks, spiders) 3) Subphylum Uriramia- Moths, beetles, butterflys, centipedes, grasshoppers, bees 4) Subphyla Trilobita- extinct
Multicellularity allows further organization
Multicellular animals develop through a series of stages. One of the early stages is Gastrulation -(Cnidaria and Ctenophora just have ectoderm and endoderm)
Protostomes- Platyhelminthes
Multicellular with bilateral symmetry and a CNS, -Protostome but does NOT make a coelom - Acoelomate - poor locomotion (also no segmentation) -Amazing regeneration abilities** - Flat body to absorb O2 and nutrients ( large surface area)
Cnidaria and Ctenophora
Multicellular with radial symmetry and neurons
Protostomes- Mollusca
Multicellular, bilateral symmetry, CNS, Cephalization, three tissue types, coelom, complex organ systems -either goes on to become a snail, squid, clam -Advanced locomotion: Squids have lost almost all of their shell and swim by jet propulsion
Porifera- Sponges
Multicellular, different cell types, but no organized cell layers or nervous system
The vertebrates distinguished by two synamorphies (542 mya)
No jaws 1. The cranium (skull) is a bony, cartilaginous, or fibrous case that encloses and protects the brain. 2. A column of cartilaginous or bony structures called vertebrae, which form a column along the dorsal sides of most species, protecting the spinal cord. Notochord becomes the Vertebrate
Embryophyte Phylogeny
Non- vascular plants- gametophyte dominant (bryophytes) Vascular plants- Sporophyte dominant (Tracheophytes) Seed plants appear (gymnosperms and angiosperms)
Gametophyte(1n) Reduction
Not only is the sporophyte (2n) dominant, but the extent of the gametophyte is reduced in tracheophytes and seed plants. ex/ The gametophytes in angiosperms are composed of only 3-8 cells comparted to the 10,000's of cells in a moss /bryophyte gametophyte. -They are essentially becoming more Diplontic***
C4 leaves- C4 photosynthesis
O2 can compete with CO2 as a substrate for RUBISCO making photosynthesis much less efficient. -Many plants have adaptations to increase the CO2 concentrations in photosynthesizing cells to allow more efficient photosynthesis. In C4 plants, CO2 is concentrated in the bundle sheath cells. Maize and crabgrass are C4 plants.
Tap root
One main root -Continuation of the primary root -Ideal for anchorage -Penetration for deep water -Storage area for food Example Carrot
Phloem transport happens through
Osmosis Isotonic solution- normal Hypotonic Solution- Diluted (swollen red blood cell) Hypertonic Solution- Concentrated (shrunken blood cell)
Ground Tissue- cell types
Parenchyma cells- make up bulk of organs, make up starch (potato cells etc) -thin cell wall, just primary Collenchyma cells- spongy unevenly thick cell wall layer in stems and leaves, celery fibers Sclerenchyma cells- thin primary cell wall then thick secondary hardened with hemicellulose and lignin(waterproof) -hard tissue, cells dead at maturity ex/ coconut shells, cherry pits
Epidermal Cell types
Pavement cells- thin cell wall on inner wall but often thick waxy layer (cuticle) on outer cell wall side Guard cells- guard the stomatal pore (allow gas in and out of plant) Trichomes- HAIRS provide protection from being eaten and provide shading
Chordata: Mammalia-Monotremata
Platypus and Echinida Most ancient group of mammals living today; found only in Australia. They lay eggs and have low metabolic rates. They have a leathery beak or bill; platypuses feed on small animals in streams and echidnas feed on ants, termites, and earthworms on land. Platypuses lay their eggs in a burrow, echidnas keep their eggs in a pouch on their belly.
The root cap functions to:
Protect the root apex
Why the seed?
Protection: The seed coat, derived from the integuments of the ovule, acts to protect the embryo. Dispersal: When the seed is eventually released from the parent plant, it may stay close to the parent, or be carried off by wind or animals. Dormancy: Within the seed coat, a seed may remain dormant for days, months, or even years until favorable conditions trigger germination.
Embryo Development: Protostome vs Deuterostome
Protostome- first mouth (becomes the anus) Deuterostome- second mouth -the split was a major evolutionary events
Primitive animals as seen in the Ediacaran fossils (part of the proterozoic-precambian)
Rare fossils since the animals are all soft and difficult to preserve -Most forms are not seen in the Cambrian (first era of paleozoic)
Which one of the following was needed to produce seeds?
Retain spores on sporophyte
When a plant is said to be an embryophyte that means it
Retains the young sporophyte on the gametophyte
Water and minerals enter the plant through the...
Root -Endodermal cells that surround the vascular tissue have a waxy Casparian strip that force water to move through cells into vascular tissue So water and minerals can only travel through the cytoplasm (SYMPLASTIC movement) Movement through the cell wall and intercellular space (APOPLASTIC movement)
Root Function
Root Functions: 1) Anchor the plant 2) Absorb water & minerals 3) Store food (starch) 4) Propagate or reproduce (some plants)
Lateral Cambium- meristem

Fruit types
Simple- fruit that develops from a single matured ovary/pistil (tomato) Aggregate- Fruit that develops from many matured ovaries in one flower (raspberry) Multiple- fruit that develops from many flowers (pineapple)
Floral variation in Floral Structure allows specificity in pollination
Some flowers have Fused petals that form floral tube (nectar made at bottom) -Only long-tongued pollinators can reach the nectar at the bottom.
Mammals- Placenta
Some mammals are viviparous -the egg is retained in the mother and a biological connection develops that delivers nutrition to the embryo as it develops. (similar to a seed in plants) Advantages: 1. Offspring develop at a more constant, favorable temperature. 2. Offspring are protected. 3. Offspring are portable—mothers are not tied to a nest.
Phloem transport goes from source to sink
Source- sugars loaded into Phloem Sink- Sugars unloaded from Phloem -Phloem transport goes up and down the plant
Modified leaves
Spines, bracts, succulents (storing water), bulbs (store nutrients), scales (protection, good for winter)
Dispersal
Spores were the main way that plants spread over Earth for the first 75-100 million years of life on land. The first seed plants are seen at 400-375 million years ago All Land plants: The sporophyte develops on the Gametophyte Seed plants: The gametophyte is developed on the Sporophyte

Root Architecture
Tap root vs Fibrous
Chordata: Mammalia- Marsupiala
The 275 known species of marsupials live in Australia and the Americas. Marsupial embryos have a placenta, but the young are born poorly developed after only a short embryonic period. -They continue to develop while attached to their mother's nipple, where they suck milk usually in a pouch on the abdomen of the mother. -They stay with their mother until they grow large enough to move independently.
A fundamental split within protostomes
The Lophotrochozoa- grow by extending the size of their bodies and skeletons. Includes the mollusks and the annelids. The Ecdysozoa- grow by shedding their external skeletons or outer coverings and expanding their bodies. Includes the arthropods and the nematodes.
Plant Apical Meristems
The basic plant body originates from Shoot and root apical meristems Growth from the apical meristems- primary growth. - Responsible for all growth in height/length of the plant.
Primary and Secondary Cell Wall
The cell wall is produced in layers from the inside out First primary and then Secondary on the inside of the primary wall, -primary wall is produced as the cell is growing and the secondary thickens the cell wall after it is done elongating
Fertilization
The egg is in the ovule and when the pollen delivers the sperm it makes an embryo. -A second fertilization event makes sterile tissue called endosperm that aids in nourishing the young embryo
Pine seeds
