Flashcards

Spirogyra (Green Algae): Vegetative Phase

Spirogyra's vegetative stage is characterized by a filamentous structure with cytoplasmic strands, mucilage-coated cell walls, vacuoles, a nucleus, and a spiral chloroplast.

Spirogyra (Green Algae): Sexual Phase

Spirogyra's sexual reproduction involves conjugation, where protrusions from different filaments meet, forming a conjugation tube and creating a zygospore.Empty cell is formed

Mosses (Bryophyta): Sporophyte Dependence

Moss sporophytes are dependent on the gametophyte for nutrition.

Moss Gametophyte Parts

The moss gametophyte includes leaf-like structures, stems, rhizoids, a capsule, and a stalk.

Study Notes

Spirogyra condensata

  • The chloroplast of Spirogyra condensata has a dentate spiral shape.
  • The zygospore forms from the fusion of two gametes in Spirogyra condensata.

Funaria hygrometrica

  • The sporophyte of Funaria hygrometrica is dependent on the gametophyte for nutrition.
  • The antheridium is part of the male gametophyte in Funaria hygrometrica.
  • The rhizoids of Funaria hygrometrica are responsible for attachment to the substrate.

Dryopteris filix-mas

  • The heart-shaped gametophyte of Dryopteris filix-mas is also known as a prothallus.
  • The sporophyte phase is dominant in the life cycle of Dryopteris filix-mas.

Gymnosperms

  • Cones are unique to Gymnosperms and aid in reproduction.
