Document Summary

Analyze characteristics relating and distinguishing bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. Know that a chytrid fungus is one important factor causing the extinction of frog species. Materials: the case study notes, textbook section 26. 2. Recognize advantages of plant fungal mutualisms (for plant and fungus). Compare and contrast asexual and sexual phases of the fungal life cycle. Distinguish between mono and non monophyletic groups on a phylogeny. Describe characteristics that are distinct between charophytes and land plants. Diagram the phylogeny of the land plants including their sister group the charophytes. Determine which taxa are more closely related on a phylogeny. Diagram and label the life cycle of a bryophyte. Contrast the bryophyte life cycle with the human life cycle. Explain why most bryophytes grow close to the group and are restricted to periodically moist environments. Describe traits that characterize modern vascular plants and explain how these traits have contributed to success on land.
