What are the factors that contributed to the success of pteridophyte as land plant

Biology

Anna35 [415]3 years ago

Two factors contributed to the success of the pteridophytes: the extreme miniaturization of the gametophytic generation and an important development of the sporophytic generation (development of the tree forms).

Pteridophytes are a group of plants that peaked in the Carboniferous (-300 million years). It is the first great terrestrial plant civilization. These plants would have appeared in the Devonian -400 million years ago, perhaps from certain primitive terrestrial plants which, unlike bryophytes, would have favored the diploid generation on the haploid generation.

Particularly well adapted to terrestrial life, they have created, thanks to the development of tree forms, immense forests whose fossilization is at the origin of coal deposits.

Pteridophytes are at the origin of an evolutionary lineage based on the extreme miniaturization of gametophytic generation and an important development of sporophytic generation, leading to all tracheophytes including current flowering plants. Pteridophytes are well adapted to terrestrial life, however fertilization still requires the presence of water since male gametes are swimmers.

How do Euglena and sperm cells use flagella?
loris [4]

Answer:

All euglena have chloroplasts and can make their own food by photosynthesis. ... Euglena move by a flagellum (plural ‚ flagella), which is a long whip-like structure that acts like a little motor. The flagellum is located on the anterior (front) end, and twirls in such a way as to pull the cell through the water.

Explanation:

In general, flagellum is a long whip like organ which protrudes to the exterior from the cell body and permits mechanical work without any marked change in the form of the effector cell. In Euglena, there are two flagella. One of them is equal in length to body while other is short.

Most animals are producers, meaning they are able to create their own food from inorganic sources.
skad [1K]
<span>This is false since plants are mostly producers and animals are mostly consumers. There is however a group of animals that are autotrophs and create their own food, but they are vastly outnumbered by consumers. The ones that produce their own are mostly within the family of funghi or similar things that border on whether they're animals or plants.</span>
