Seed Plants I: Seed Plants Without Flowers ("Gymnosperms") #
Gymnosperms
The gymnosperms are those plants with "naked ovules," that is,ovules located on flat sporophylls.
-
Angiosperms
Angiosperms are the flowering plants, those with carpels, which are believed to be sporophylls that form a tube-like, closed structure; fruits are mature carpels.
-
Aneurophytales
-
They varied in stature from shrubs to large trees, up to 12m tall.
-
Archaeopteridales
-
Stem of Archaeopteris had a siphonostele, pith surrounded by a ring of primary xylem bundles, much like modern conifers and dicots.
-
Evolution of Seeds
in free-sporing species, spores can be identified with sporophytes
-
-
as they fused to each other and to the megasporangium, the space at the top became the place of microspores.
-
Division Coniferophyta: Conifer
-
-
Conifers are never vines, herbs, or annuals, and also they never have bulbs or rhizomes.

Algae and the origin of Eukaryotic Cell # #
Algae
That are the living descendants of clades that originated from those early steps in eukaryotic evolution.
Eukaryotic Cell
-
Prokaryotic Cell
-
DNA Structure
In Eukaryotic
Nucleus Present
It is more elaborately packaged, being complexed with nucleosome histones and forming chromosome.
-
In Prokaryotic
No nucleus present
It is naked, not complexed with proteins.
It contains few introns,and mRNA processing is relatively simple.
-
Organelles
A few species have gas vacuoles, and photosynthetic species have folded membranes that project into the cell.
Prokaryotes are lack of membrane-bounded organelles whereas, all eukaryotes have nuclei and mitochondria.
-
-
Origin Of Mitochondria
-
DNA sequence data indicate that mitochondria are most closely related to bacteria known as proteobacteria.
-
Types of Cytokinesis
-
-
In some green algae, cytokinesis occurs by a phycoplast.
-
-
Brown Algae
-
-
-
-
Yellow-Green Algae
-
Golden Brown Algae
They are single cells covered with numerous tiny siliceous that develop within special vesicles in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Sexual Reproduction
-
-
-
Fertilization
-
-
-

-
-
-
-
Asexual Reproduction
Fragmentation
A large spreading or vining plant grows to several meters in length , and individual parts become self-sufficient by establishing adventitious roots.
Structure of Woody Plants #
-
-
-
Interfascicular Cambium
Vascular Cambium
Two types of Cells
Fusiform Initials
They are long , tapered cells and they produce the elongate cells of wood and phloem.
-
Axial pholem
Cork Cambium
-
-
Ray Initials
They are short and more or less cuboidal. They produce short cells and storage parenchyma and in gymnosperms albuminous cells.
-
-
-
Hardwoods
A woods which contain large amount of fibers, making them strong, tough and useful for construction is called hardwood.

Vascular Plants Without Seeds #
Early Vascular Plants
Rhyniophytes
-
-
-
-
Rhynia
These plants had upright, dichotomously branched stems, vascular tissue, stomata,and a cuticle.
-
-
The Microphyll line of Evolution :Lycophytes
It represent a distinct line of evolution out of the early land plants that resembled zosterophyllophytes.
-
Morphology
-
Extinct lycophytes such as Lepidodendron, Sigillaria, and Stigmaria had a vascular cambium and secondary growth.
Heterospory
In many extinct and extant lycophyta sporangia are clustered together in compact groups called cones, which protect them.
-
Lycophytes are remarkable in that represent an ancient line of evolution distinct from seed plants but having convergent evolution in several characteristics are :
-
-
-
-
-
-
Monilophytes
-
-
-
Fern
-
-
Leaves of ferns may be leathery or delicate, only one cell thick in filmy ferns, but many layers thick in most.
-
-
-
Diversity and Scale
Scale is so important in community ecology, several distinct sizes are typically used.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Nonvascular Plants
#
-
-
Vascular Cryptogams
It have vascular tissue but not seeds.
-
Characteristics
Moses are well known. :
-
-
They are almost exclusively terrestrial and have a cuticle over much of their bodies, and many have stomata.
-
-
Division Bryophyta: Mosses
-
It provides protection, support, storage, and even nitrogen procurement.
-
-
It contain only primary tissues, secondary production of wood and bark in leaves is extremely rare.
-
-
-
-
Light-dependent reaction stage simply known as light energy or the Calvin cycle is used directly to make molecules for the process of photosynthesis.
-
Light independent reaction stage simple means energy stored in the ATP for the photosynthesis process.

The Structure of Ecosystems
Physiognomic Structure
The physical size and shape of the organisms and their distribution in relation to each other and to the physical environment constitute the physiognomic structure.
-
Species Composition
Species composition refers to the number and diversity of species that coexist in an ecosystem, and it depends on whether the climate is mild or stressful, the soil is rich or poor, and the species tolerance ranges are broad or narrow.
-
-
Alleles
-
-
-
Types
-
Phenotype
The expression of those alleles in the individuals's size, shape, or metabolism.
Replication Of DNA
-
-
Replicon
One strand of the DNA double helix is cut, and the two strands separate from each other in short region, forming a small bubble called replication.
-
-
Mutations
A mutation is any change, however large or small, in DNA.
-
-
-
-
-
Somatic Mutations
Mutations can occur at any time in any cell, but if they happen in cells that never lead to sex cells, they are called somatic mutations.
-
Dihybrid Crosses
A dihybrid crosses is one in which two genes are studied and analyzed simultaneously, rather than just one, as in monohybrid cross.
-
Body of an Herb
-
Leaves
#
Plants absorb moisture through leaves and desire minerals from wind blown dust that dissovle on moist leaf surfaces.
-
-
-
Stems
Stems of modern flowering plants have additional roles. They produce leaves and hold them in the sunlight, and during winter, they store sugars and other nutrients, also be a means of survival.
Roots
-
Seed Plants II: Angiosperms #
Changing Concepts About Early Angiosperms #
-
-
Wind-pollinated trees like alders, elms, oaks, and plant trees were grouped.
-
-
Basal Angiosperms
The basal angiosperms contain the living descends of several group that originated while angiosperms were still a young clade.
-
Monocots
-
-
-
Alismatales
-
Sea grasses have no transpiration and mutation that result in loss of stomata are nit selectively disadvantageous.
-
-
-
Liliales
-
-
-
They contain Lilium, Tulipa, Calochortus
Asparagales
Flowers are large, colorful and showy
-
-
Dioscoreales
It has a familiar, important crop and unusual morphology.
-
-
Commelinoid Monocots
-
-
-
-
Poales

Concept
Extensive grouping of many ecosystems characterized by the distinctive aspects of the dominant plants.

Roots
Other Types Of Roots
Prop Roots
Prop roots make contact with the soil, they transport additional nutreints and water to the stem,.
-
Contractile Roots
Example: oxalis, Gladiolus, Crinum
Mycorrhizae
The root of most species of seed plants have symbolic relationship with soil fungus this relation is called mycorrgizae.

Population Genetics and Evolution #
Evolution
Evolution is the gradual conversion of one species into one, in some cases, several new species.
-
-
Population Genetics deals with the abundance of different alleles within a population and the manner in which the abundance of a particular allele increases, decreases, or remains the same with time.
-
Speciation
-
Two Fundamental ways
Phyletic Speciation
-
Gene Flow
New beneficial alleles arise and are selected for,they become spread throughout the entire population, this movement of alleles physically through space, called gene flow.
-
Divergent Speciation
In which some populations of a species evolve into a new, second species while other populations either continue relatively unchanged as the original, parental species or evolve into a new, third species.
-
-
-
Plants do photosynthesis through their leaves. They inhale carbon dioxide whereas, the exhale oxygen.
-
Root passes the air, minerals, and water to the leaves. It gives support to the leaves. The main function of leaves is gas exchange and photosynthesis and also it absorbs the sunlight.
Biomes in the community of flora and fauna. The population is the group of the same species living in a particular area.
Ecosystem is the relation of the organism and environment.
Ecology is the study of organisms in relationship to
all aspects of their surroundings.
Biomes is the community of flora and fauna.
-
Algae plant do not have leaves,roots and flowers.
Flowers is the important structure for the reproduction.
