Study Notes
Algae
- Some algae grow on trees, rocks and moist soil.
- Algae can be unicellular (one cell) or multicellular (many cells).
- Multicellular algae are usually ribbon-like.
- Examples of algae include Chlamydomonas (unicellular) and Ulothrix.
- Red pigments in algae absorb light, but chlorophyll is needed to process it.
- This allows red seaweed to survive in low-light conditions.
Gymnosperms
- Gymnosperms include shrubs and woody trees.
- Examples include Ephedra, Pinus, Abies, Ginkgo, Gnetum.
- Gymnosperms have 4 classes and about 861 species.
Gymnosperm Characteristics
- These plants are perennial (live for many years) and xerophytic (adapted to dry environments).
- They are pollinated by wind.
- They have one or more cotyledons (seed leaves) in their embryos.
- Economic uses of gymnosperms include food, timber, medicine, decoration, and making volatile oils, tanning materials, and resins.
Monocots
- Monocot stems lack cambium (a layer of cells that allows stems to grow thicker).
- Examples of monocots include maize, wheat, rice, onion, sugarcane, barley, banana, and coconut.
Monocot characteristics
- Monocot seeds contain one cotyledon.
- Monocot leaves have parallel venation (veins run parallel to each other).
