Chapter 21, Problem 1FIB
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Green algae are the most diverse group of algae. The green algae contain two forms of chlorophyll, which they use to capture light energy to produce sugar. The vascular system is also known as a circulatory system in plants two types of tissues are presents: xylem and phloem. Alteration of generation is used to describe a process in the life cycle of some eukaryotes.

Answer to Problem 1FIB

Correct answer:

Scientists hypothesize that the ancestor of plants were green algae. There are two major types of plants; those that lack conducting cells are called nonvascular plants and those with conducting cells are called vascular plants. All plants produce multicellular embryos and exhibit a complex life cycle called alternation of generation.

Explanation of Solution

It was earlier assumed that higher plants evolved from blue-green algae because both the species have chloroplast “a green color pigment” that helps them in energy conversion. Two type’s plants are present one that has xylem and phloem for the transportation of water and nutrients called tracheophytes other that do not have xylem and phloem called bryophytes.

Plant embryo is the part of a seed consisting of some precursor tissues of leaves and stems. Alteration of generation means the fluctuation between the haploid and diploid stages that occur in plants. It is also known as metagenesis alteration of sexual phase and an asexual phase in the life cycle of plants.

Conclusion

Algae are considered as the ancestor of all the land plants because of the presence of chlorophyll. Plants are differentiated on the basis of vascular tissue, some plants lack this vascular tissue.

10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label the bond that you formed between the two R groups. - Polar covalent Bond - Red - Non polar Covalent boND- yellow - Ionic BonD - PINK Hydrogen Bonn - Purple Hydrophobic interaction-green O=C-N H I.

Find the dental formula and enter it in the following format: I3/3 C1/1 P4/4 M2/3 = 42 (this is not the correct number, just the correct format) Please be aware: the upper jaw is intact (all teeth are present). The bottom jaw/mandible is not intact. The front teeth should include 6 total rectangular teeth (3 on each side) and 2 total large triangular teeth (1 on each side).
