FRST 200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Lichen, Monera, Bryophyte
Document Summary
Gene transfer: monera --> unicellular, bacteria, sometime colonial, no nuclei prokaryote or organelles, not really exist anymore, millions of species, abundant in soils and on leaves; some bacteria cause rotting, disease, some photosynthetic, some fix nitrogen e. g. Symbiotic ones in nodules of legumes and alden, etc also some lichens. Lichen is not a plant: protista catch all group of primate eukaryotes, ~55,000 green algae, some animal like. Protozoa, some in between (e. g. slime moulds, some multicellular: fungi usually multicellular, 300,000 species, no chloroplasts, do have cell walls, but made of chitin. Often found symbiosis with green algae and yeast. Help plants take up minerals, nutrients and water: animalia millions of species, no cell walls, no chloroplasts, can be most complex, plantae bryophyte and vascular plants. Have big vacuoles: phyla and classes. 3 have trees; all but 1 tree are in the coniferophyta or anthophyta. **cambial - able to make wood, but not really tree.
