  1. The Diversity of Life I. A Brief History of Life II. Classifying Life III. The Prokaryote Domains: Bacteria and Archaea IV. The Domain Eukarya D. Plants: 1. Green algal ancestors

  2. The Diversity of Life I. A Brief History of Life II. Classifying Life III. The Prokaryote Domains: Bacteria and Archaea IV. The Domain Eukarya D. Plants: 1. Green algal ancestors Alternation of generation

  3. IV. The Domain Eukarya D. Plants: 1. Green algal ancestors 2. Colonization of Land: Environmental Differences Aquatic HabitatsTerrestrial Water available Desiccating Sunlight absorbed Sunlight available Nutrients at Depth Nutrients available Buoyant Less Supportive Low oxygen High O2 CO2 diffuses slowly CO2diffuses quickly

  4. IV. The Domain Eukarya D. Plants: 1. Green algal ancestors 2. Colonization of Land: Environmental Differences Light and oxygen are available at the surface; algae limited by lack of nutrients Nutrients (released by decomposition) are available at depth

  5. IV. The Domain Eukarya D. Plants: 1. Green algal ancestors 2. Colonization of Land: Environmental Differences Light and oxygen are available at the surface; algae limited by lack of nutrients Nutrient inputs from the landscape (fertilizer runoff) cause algal blooms and dead zones in marine environments. Nutrients (released by decomposition) are available at depth

  6. IV. The Domain Eukarya D. Plants: 1. Green algal ancestors 2. Colonization of Land: Environmental Differences Water in soil nutrients in soil Terrestrial environments provide photosynthetic organisms with more light, oxygen, and nutrients, but it is DESICCATING

  7. IV. The Domain Eukarya D. Plants: 1. Green algal ancestors 2. Colonization of Land: Environmental Differences 3. Plant Evolution – Adapting to Land

  9. IV. The Domain Eukarya • D. Plants: • 1. Green algal ancestors • 2. Colonization of Land: Environmental Differences • 3. Plant Evolution – Adapting to Land • 4. “Non-tracheophytes” • a. Groups • b. Characteristics • - lack vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) - inefficient water transport - short • - lack true organs (defined by the presence of vascular tissue) • - some have a very thin waxy cuticle • - some have stomates XYLEM http://bugs.bio.usyd.edu.au/learning/resources/plant_form_function/plant_form/vascular_ground_tissues.html http://www.brynmawr.edu/biology/franklin/Bio103Key.htm

  10. IV. The Domain Eukarya • D. Plants: • 4. “Non-tracheophytes” • a. Groups • b. Characteristics • - release flagellated sperm directly into the environment • - have a dominant gametophyte generation, and a short-lived, ephemeral sporophyte http://www.eplantscience.com/index_files/alteration_of_generation.php http://lima.osu.edu/biology/archive/bryophyt.html
