Land Plants Evolved from Green Algae II. Mosses and Other Nonvascular Plants have Life Cycles Dominated by Gametophytes III. Ferns and Other Seedless Vascular Plants Were the First Plants to Grow Tall Chapter 30: Plant Diversity II: The Evolution of Seed Plants I. Seeds and Pollen Grains are Key Adaptations for Life on Land II. Gymnosperms Bear “Naked” Seeds, Typically on Cones III. The Reproductive Adaptations of Angiosperms Include Flowers and Fruits IV. Human Welfare Depends Greatly on Seed Plants Chapter 35: Plant Structure, Growth, and Development I. Plants have a Hierarchical Organization Consisting of Organs, Tissues, and Cells II. Meristems Generate Cells for Primary and Secondary Growth III. Primary Growth Lengthens Roots and Shoots IV. Secondary Growth Increases the Diameter of Stems and Roots in Woody Plants V. Growth, Morphogenesis, and Cell Differentiation Produce the Plant Body Chapter 36: Resource Acquisition and Transport in Vascular Plants I. Adaptations for Acquiring Resources were Key Steps in the Evolution of Vascular Plants II. Different Mechanisms Transport Substances Over Short or Long Distances III. Transpiration Drives the Transport of Water and Minerals from Roots o Shoots via the Xylem IV. The Rate of Transpiration is Regulated By Stomata V. Sugars are Transported From Sources via the Phloem VI. The Symplast is Highly Dynamic Chapter 37: Soil and Plant Nutrition I. Soil Contain a Living, Complex Ecosystem II. Plants Require Essential Elements to Complete Their Life Cycle III. Plant Nutrition often Involves Relationships w/ Other Organisms Chapter 38: Angiosperm Reproduction and Biotechnology I. Flowers, Double Fertilization, and Fruits are Unique Features of the Angiosperm Life Cycle
