Study Notes
Male Gamete Transfer
- The structure responsible for transferring male gametes to the archegonium is the pollen tube.
Gymnosperms
- Gymnosperms are referred to as "naked seed" plants because their seeds remain exposed after fertilization.
- They are also described as having ovules that are not enclosed by any ovary wall.
Spores
- Microspores and megaspores are produced in the sporangia.
Cones
- Male cones are formed by microsporophylls, while female cones are formed by megasporophylls.
Zygote Development
- After fertilization, the zygote develops into an embryo.
Angiosperms Classification
- Angiosperms are divided into two classes: monocots and dicots.
Pollen Tube Function
- The primary function of the pollen tube is to facilitate the transfer of sperm cells to the ovule for fertilization.
Zygote Formation
- The zygote is formed in the archegonium after fertilization occurs.
Algae Characteristics
- A characteristic of algae includes their ability to perform photosynthesis and live in aquatic environments.
Algae Classification
- Algae are classified into three main classes based on pigment and stored food: green algae (Chlorophyta), brown algae (Phaeophyceae), and red algae (Rhodophyta).
Algae Reproduction
- Algae typically reproduce vegetatively through fragmentation or asexual reproduction methods like binary fission.
Bryophyte Structure
- The main plant body of a bryophyte is called the gametophyte.
- Male sex organs in a bryophyte are called antheridia, while female sex organs are referred to as archegonia.
Pteridophyte Structure
- The main plant body of a pteridophyte is called the sporophyte.
- Pteridophytes produce reproductive structures known as sporangia.
Gametophyte Habitat
- Gametophytes of pteridophytes prefer to grow in moist environments.
Plant Types
- Gymnosperms and angiosperms are classified as seed-producing plants.
