Core Skill: Modeling The goal of this modeling challenge is to propose a model that describes the location of algae within a fruticose lichen.
Modeling Challenge: Parts (a) through (c) of Figure 30.11 illustrate three major structural types of lichens: crustose, foliose, and fruticose. Figure 30.11d shows a representative light microscope view of a thin slice of a foliose lichen, which reveals that the green algal cells are located near the upper surface of the flat lichen body. In this location, the photosynthetic cells of the algae are best able to absorb sunlight. Use this information to sketch a structural model of the likely distribution of algal cells in the body of a fruticose lichen. Your model should be a circular cross section through one of the branchlike segments of the lichen. Label the fungal and algal layers.

The "leafy" plants are the gametophytes and any elongated structures growing above them are the sporophytes. (See text Figure 16-27, page 385.) 15.

Some species of mosses are unisexual; others are bisexual. The moss gametophyte originates as budlike structures that develop from a protonema (plural: protonemata), a system of branching filaments derived from a germinating spore.arrow_forwardQuestion: Explain how protists differ from typical eukaryotic organisms.arrow_forwardTopic: Nonvascular Plants Question: Where have you encountered moss?

Refer to the schematic diagram above of a cross section of the Marram grass (Ammophilia sp.) leaf. I Marram Grass has a rolled leaf that creates a localised environment of water vapour potential within the leaf, and helps to prevent loss of water. The stomata sit in small pits within the curls of the structure, which make them less likely to open and to lose water. The folded leaves have hairs on the inside to slow or stop air movement. a) State the name of the process that results in the loss of water from the surface of leaves. b) Draw a stomatal pore and describe its function in leaves. c) Describe one feature of the…arrow_forwardPre-lab task 3: List the general characteristics of fungi, animals and plants and based on those characteristics -- what characteristics fungus-like, animal-like and plant like protists would be expected to have.arrow_forward
