BLG 133 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Synchytrium Endobioticum, Fungi Imperfecti, Spermatophyte
Document Summary
Three types of algae; brown algae (phylum phaeophyta), red algae (phylum. Brown algae; no true roots (holdfast) and no true leaves (blade), has a long stem structure (stipe), can photosynthesize (i. e. kelp) Red algae; has phycoerythrin pigment that reflects the colour red, green chlorophyll, photosynthesize (i. e. nori) Green algae; most live in aquatics, unicellular, uses flagella, most plant-like algae, same cell wall; cellulose and store food reserves in the form of starch (i. e. volvox) Adaptation to life; needs anchoring/support, reduce water loss, ability to reproduce, transport system. Vascular plants have xylem (tissues that transport water throughout the plant) and phloem (tissues that transport large molecules throughout the plant) Non-vascular plants: bryophytes; no vascular tissues- uses diffusion and osmosis instead, can survive in harsh weathers, no real roots- rhizoids (i. e moss) Seedless vascular plants: fern; has vascular tissues, no flowers/seeds (i. e fern)
