PLANT ORGANIZATION AND HOMEOSTASIS A) List and describe 15 examples of plants in our daily lives. (Why are plants important to us and other living things?) B) What tissue type is responsible for secondary growth? C) What are the chief organs of photosynthesis? D) Why is photosynthesis so important to plants? E) What is required for the process to start? F) What does the process produce? G) Where does it take place in plants? UPTAKE AND TRANSPORT OF NUTRIENTS: 1. What is the function of xylem? 2. Describe two types of xylem conducting cells. 3. What is the function of phloem? 4. Describe the two types of phloem conducting cells. 5. Explain how water is pulled up by evaporation from leaves. (cohesion-tension model) ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION 1. What is ecological succession? Name and describe the 4 stages of succession. 2. Which takes longer, primary or secondary succession? Why? FUNGI 1. Distinguish between non-septate and septate hyphae. 2. Distinguish between hyphae and mycelium.

1. What advantages and disadvantages were encountered by the first plants to venture out onto land? Give a few examples of plant adaptations to life on land. 2. Using an example of a familiar plant, describe its life cycle as it alternates between multicellular sporophyte and gametophyte stages. Describe these multicellular stages and explain where fertilization, mitosis, and meiosis occur in the life cycle. 3. As vascular plants evolved, they developed several important evolutionary advances. Explain the importance of each of the following: a. vascular tissue b. seeds c. flowers d. fruits 4. Explain how biologists use variations in body plans to categorize animals. Be sure to describe different types of: a. symmetry b. tissue organization c. body cavities d. modes of early development 5. List the major groups of extant (living) vertebrates, along with their distinguishing characteristics. Also, explain the evolutionary changes that resulted in groups branching off from each other (e.g. jaws, limbs, etc.).

1. Which of the following statements best describe the difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms? A. Angiosperms produce cones to protect their seeds; gymnosperm seeds are surrounded by fruit. B. Gymnosperms include fruit trees and ginkgos; angiosperms include conifers, spruces, and firs C. Gymnosperms are mostly adapted for wind pollination; angiosperms are mostly adapted for animal pollination. D. Angiosperms were the first to colonize land; Gymnosperms developed later than the more primitive angiosperms. 2. The outer covering of some land plants that helps slow water loss is called: A. Chlorophyll B. Chitin C. Cuticle D. Stomata 3. What adaptation of land plants helps it to control gas exchange with the atmosphere? A. Chitin B. Cuticle C. Stomata D. Chlorophyll 4. A plant that remains low to the ground and grows in moist conditions is most likely what type of plant? A. Vascular B. Nonvascular C. Angiosperm D. Gymnosperm 5. Terrestrial plants contain lignin to support the plant and vascular tissue to transport water and nutrients through the plant. What are these adaptations in response to? A. Heat B. Gravity C. Dryness D. Gas exchange
