Hi there, you might see many question but you they are easy to answer because all of them are found in the internet also I will provide a PDF that you can read and get the answers from. NOTE: If you want to look on the internet to find answer please change them into your own words that it doesn't seem it is copied or plagiarized because my instructor is so smart and can know if we are copying. It should not take a long time to answer because all answers are online.The PDF for this assignment is on canvas and I will provide the log in info once you bid to my question.Link: https://gcccd.instructure.com/login/canvasCritical thinking question: Be able to explain why a moss plant cannot grow large. How does the lack of a vascular system limit the size in which the plant can grow? Put your answer here:Critical thinking question: Be able to explain the advantages of a seed over a spore in the following circumstance: Both a seed and spore land on the ground but leaf litter prevents either of them from direct contact with the soil. The seed grows into a plant while the spore perishes. Explain why:Critical thinking question: All life forms on earth produce offspring by a process that is usually called sexual reproduction. In some, asexual reproduction occurs for a time, but is always followed by sexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction the result are offspring that are exactly the same as the original… they are said to be clones. This form of reproduction has major disadvantages to the species when the environment changes dramatically. Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, produces offspring that are not identical to either of the parents because they a mixture of both parent’s genes.What are the disadvantages of offspring produced by asexual reproduction when the environment changes and, in contrast, what are the advantages of offspring produced by sexual reproductionwhen the environment changes?Put your answer here:Question 1. Describe the size difference in seeds and spores and try to explain why one is larger than the other.Table 1. Numbers of Flower Parts in Gladiolus and SnapdragonGladiolusSnapdragonCount these flower parts:Sepals: (these are modified leaves) are the outermost (usually green) structures of the flower.Petals: Notice that the snapdragon flower has some of its petals "fused" together (a result of evolutionary adaptation). Ask your instructor to show you this.Stamens: Be sure to distinguish these from the pistil and do not include the pistil in your count.Pistil: Examine the tip of the stigma: how many parts can you see?Ovary: carpel chambers. Count the number of chambers in the ovary. (Observe a cross-section through the dissecting microscopes at the front of the classroom. Turn on the light(s) and remove the watch glasses covering the specimens to observe. Replace the watch glasses and turn off the lights when you are done.) Question 2. Typically, monocots have flower parts which number in "threes" or "multiples of three." Based on your observations, which of the above plants is a monocot? Question 3. Dicots usually have their flower parts in "fours" or "fives", or some "multiple" thereof. Based on your observations, which of the above species is a dicot?Question 4. Estimate the size of pine, hemlock, and sweet gum pollen, in microns. Question 5. What kinds of organisms are likely to functions as helpers in the pollination process? Question 6. The evolution of flower structure and color is thought to reflect natural selection for more efficient pollination mechanisms. Given that different colors and scents might attract different pollinators, suggest how the odd shape of the snapdragon flower might help the pollination process.Question 7. Conifers and Cycads are wind pollinated. (Note: some Flowering plants (e.g. grasses) no longer have colorful flowers because they have reverted back to using wind for pollination.) Describe a few characteristics you would expect to see in wind-pollinated plants vs. animal-pollinated plants. After pollination, the pollen grain (male gametophyte) germinates, and the pollen tube grows through the tissue of the style to the ovary and enters the ovule where an egg is fertilized. Question 8. It is known that many organisms, or parts of organisms, grow toward or away from various stimuli, such as light, chemicals, gravity, and so forth. Consider what you know about flowers and suggest a likely mechanism that might direct the growth of the pollen tube toward the ovules. Question 9. One of these seeds should separate easily into two equal halves, called cotyledons. Plants with seeds having two cotyledons are called dicotyledons, or "dicots" for short. Of the seeds you examine, which plant is a dicot?Question 10. Those plants whose seeds do not so easily separate and have only one cotyledon are the monocotyledons, or "monocots" for short. Which plant is a monocot?Question 11. How many chambers do the ovaries of the tomato and the green pepper have? Are they monocots or dicots? Question 12. What other plant foods that we eat are commonly called vegetables, but are actually fruits, like the tomato? Give several examples.Question 13. Does the gladiolus have parallel or net veined leaves? Go online to answer this question. Question 14. Do the snapdragons have parallel or net veined leaves? Go online to answer this question.Question 15. In the space below, make you own sketch of a small section of leaf epidermis; include two stomata with their guard cells.Label all parts.Question 16.Which cells of the epidermal layer contain chloroplasts? What do you know is the function of the stomata and guard cells? How do you think the chloroplasts in the guard cells relates to this function? Question 17. Observe the cross section above. In the space below, sketch a small section of the Syringa (lilac) leaf cross section. See Figure 4, the charts in the lab, or the Internet for help. Label the following:cuticle, upper and lower epidermisstoma and guard cellspalisade mesophyll cells and spongy mesophyll cellsvascular tissue (veins, which include xylem and phloem)intercellular space.Question 18.What function do you think the palisade and spongy mesophyll tissues provide for the plant?What do the stomata do for the intercellular spaces in the mesophyll tissue?Why do you suppose that the guard cells have chloroplasts while the other epidermal cells do not? Question 19. Which plant, grass or geranium, has parallel veins in its leaves? Is this plant a monocot or a dicot? (use the internet)Question 20. Which plant has a net-like pattern in its leaves? Is this plant a monocot or a dicot? Question 21. Are these dots parts of structures which extend lengthwise through the stem?Question 23. Dicotyledons have vascular bundles in a ring. Which plant is a dicot?Table 2. Comparison of Monocot and Dicot Characteristics CharacteristicMonocot Example monocot observedDicotExample monocot observedflower parts: most common multiple (3's vs. 4's & 5's)? number of cotyledons in the seeds? type of leaf veins (net vs. parallel?) vascular bundles (scattered vs. ring?) Question 24. In the Grossmont College Wildlife Sanctuary, a chaparral community, the native silverback fern thrives. During what time of the year would you expect this fern to produce gametophytes (Look at the typical plant life cycle) ? Why? This question is about logic, not actualy going out and looking)Question 25. For the sperm of one gametophyte to successfully find its way to the archegonium of another gametophyte, certain environmental conditions must be present. Name some of these:Question 26. Both the sperm and the egg of the fern plant have the haploid (1n) number of chromosomes. Describe the chromosome number of the zygote (the fertilized egg). Using the wall chart in the lab and Figure 4, put the following labels on the diagram below (Structures 1-6): sporophyte spores, sporangia, sorus gametophyteFor sporophyte and gametophyte generations be able to indicate whether it is diploid (2n) and which is haploid (1n).Be able to indicate in which structures meiosis occurs.
