Seed Plants: Gymnosperms<\/p>\n

Read pages 264-267 and answer the following questions:<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
How are the gametophytes of seed plants different from those of algae, mosses and ferns?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is a “seed?”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the 2 major groups of seed plants, and what do their names mean?<\/p>\n

(Hint: “vessel” = container)<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Describe how gymnosperms produce their seeds<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Describe how angiosperms produce their seeds<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do seeds help the plant survive?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Making Connections<\/strong><\/p>\n

How is a seed different from a spore?<\/p>\n

(Hint: think of where a plant embryo comes from)<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do seeds make it easier for plants to survive on land?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gymnosperms (“naked seeds”)<\/p>\n

Angiosperms (“seeds in containers”)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gymnosperms produce unprotected, or naked, seeds in conelike structures<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Angiosperms produce seeds that are enclosed and protected inside the fruit, which is formed by the flower.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They resist desiccation (drying out) – they can survive even when it’s dry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A seed results from fertilization (the union of 2 gametes), and is diploid, while a spore results from meiosis and is haploid.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When its too dry for a new plant to grow, a seed can wait until the conditions are right and then germinate and grow<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

What is another name for gymnosperms?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What environmental conditions are conifers adapted to survive in?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is an important job that conifers and other trees do for the planetary ecosystem?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What percent of all wood used in building and construction do conifers provide?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alternation of Generations in Gymnosperms<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember: Is a pine tree a gametophyte or a sporophyte?<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do the male cones on the pine tree produce?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do the female cones on the pine tree produce?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What does pollen contain?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remember: what do male gametophytes produce?<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What happens when the male gamete from a pollen grain meets a female gamete?<\/p>\n

What does the seed contain?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n

Conifers<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
