1. Students Grades posted on white board – highlights are not good Test info Avg = 30.5, range: 17 – 48 Corrections due Monday Brief syllabus Plants next Ch 29 - 30, 10 (photosynthesis), 35 – 39 Photosynthesis lab next week Tornado drill – today 2nd period Transport – Friday – tomorrow AP exam payment???

2. Chapter 29: Bryophytes & Ferns • What adaptations do plants have for survival on land? • Stomata – pores used for gas exchange • Roots – absorb water & minerals from underground • Apical meristems – tips of shoots & roots where growth occurs • Cuticle – waxy covering to prevent water loss thru leaves • Jacketed gametangia – gamete producing organ with protective • jacket of cells to prevent dehydration • - Sporopollenin – polymer that formed around exposed zygotes & forms • walls of plant spores preventing dehydration • Lignin – structural polymer that provides strength for woody tissues

3. Chapter 29: Bryophytes & Ferns • What adaptations do plants have for survival on land? • What were the adaptations/highlights of plant evolution? • Movement to land led to Bryophytes (mosses & worts) • Tougher spores (sporopollenin) • Jacketed gametangia • Vascular tissue (ferns) • Cells joined to transport water & nutrients • Lacked seeds • Development of seeds (Gymnosperms) • More protection of embryo • Embryo w/ food • Development of flowers (Angiosperms) • Complex reproductive structure

The combination of living photosynthetic cells and dead water-storing cells gives the moss its spongy quality. (d) “Tolland Man,” a bog mummy dating from 405–100 B.C. The acidic, oxygen-poor conditions produced by Sphagnum can preserve human or other animal bodies for thousands of years.

Note the “leafy” gametophytes and their offspring, the sporophytes.

12. Chapter 29: Bryophytes & Ferns • What adaptations do plants have for survival on land? • What were the adaptations/highlights of plant evolution? • What are bryophytes? • What are the characteristics of ferns (seedless vascular plants)? • Dominant life stage is sporophyte (2n) • Gametophyte is reduced • Sporophyte is branched • Vasculature • Xylem – transports water & minerals up from the ground • Has tracheids – tube-shaped cells for transport • Dead at maturity • Strengthened by lignin • Phloem • Transport sugars & other organic products from leaves downward • Living cells at maturity • Roots - anchorage, water & mineral transport • Let’s consider the life cycle…..

13. Figure 29.12 The life cycle of a fern 1 Although this illustration shows an egg and sperm from the same gametophyte, a variety of mechanisms promote cross-fertilization between gametophytes. 3 The fern spore develops into a small, photosynthetic gametophyte. 2 Sporangia release spores. Most fern species produce a single type of spore that gives rise to a bisexual gametophyte. Key Haploid (n) Diploid (2n) Antheridium Young gametophyte Spore MEIOSIS Sporangium Sperm Archegonium Egg New sporophyte Mature sporophyte Zygote Sporangium FERTILIZATION Sorus On the underside of the sporophyte‘s reproductive leaves are spots called sori. Each sorus is a cluster of sporangia. 6 Fern sperm use flagella to swim from the antheridia to eggs in the archegonia. 4 Gametophyte A zygote develops into a new sporophyte, and the young plant grows out from an archegonium of its parent, the gametophyte. 5 Fiddlehead
