L.O. F – 6 Alternation Of Generations
___ 1. In general, is the sporophyte diploid or haploid?
___2. The haploid gametophyte plants live up to their name, they produce gametes
(sex cells). What is the proper name for the male gamete, also what is the
name of the female gamete?
___ 3. What specific type of cell division must take place in the sporangium of the
diploid sporophyte to give rise to the production of haploid spores?
___4. Which generation (gametophyte or spororphyte) tends to become dominant as we
trace the evolution of plants from Algae --> Bryophytes --> Pteridophytes -->
Gymnosperms --> Angiosperms?
L.O. F – 7 Land Adaptations
___ 1. List at least 5 key adaptations (improvements) that plants have acquired to make
them more successful at living in drier terrestrial environments.
L.O. G – 1 Characteristics of Gymnosperms
___ 1. What Kingdom do Gymnosperms belong to?
___ 2. What phylum do Gymnosperms belong to?
___ 3. What do all members belonging to the Subphylum Spermopsida have in common?
___ 4. What is the most common (most successful) class of Gymnosperm?
___ 5. What does Gymnosperms literally translate to mean?
___ 6. What does Deciduous mean, and are most Conifers deciduous?
___ 7. What type of vascular tissue consists of tubes formed from hollow dead cells?
___ 8. Where are seeds produced on Conifers?
___ 9. The typical higher trees and plants that we study, are they primarily sporophyte
or primarily gametophyte?
___ 10. Why are gymnosperm called softwoods?
L.O. G –2 Adaptations and Functions in Gymnosperms
____ 1. List the three adaptations that gymnosperms “leaves” have to conserve water.
____ 2. Are Staminate cones male or female and when are they produced by conifers?
____ 3. Try to think of some ways or mechanisms by which pollen is dispersed over to
land on the Ovulate (female) cones during Pollination.
___ 4. What is the difference between Pollination and Fertilization
___ 5. What happens after the pollen has successfully landed on the female/ovulate
cone?

10. Which vascular tissue transports the products of photosynthesis (sugars)?
11. What vascular tissue transports water?
L.O. G –3 Meristems in Primary and Secondary Stem Growth
___ 1. What is so special about the meristematic tissues in a plant?
____ 2. Name three different types of meristematic tissues. (see notes #5)
____ 3. Define Primary Growth?
___ 4. What type of Meristematic tissue is located at the tips of shoots and roots?
___ 5. Define Secondary Growth.
___ 6. Describe the location of Vascular Cambium, and what key tissues does it
produce?
____7 Where is cork cambium located and what does it produce?
___ 8. What does "Bark" refer to?
L.O. G – 4 Economic and Ecological Importance
____1. List two important plant (Coniferous) resources that almost all wildlife
depend on.
___ 2. What conifers have needles that helped Native Indians ward off Scurvy, and
what do these needles contain?
___ 3. What conifer is the main source of lumber?
___ 4. List at least 5 different types of conifers found in a typical coniferous
forest.
____5. What is meant by the term: “Renewable Resource”?
