Section A · multiple choice

  1. 1.

    Plants called the amphibians of the plant kingdom are:

    1. gymnosperms
    2. algae
    3. pteridophytes
    4. bryophytes
    Answer

    (d) bryophytes

    they live in soil but need water for fertilisation

  2. 2.

    Laminaria belongs to the:

    1. brown algae (Phaeophyceae)
    2. pteridophytes
    3. gymnosperms
    4. bryophytes (mosses)
    Answer

    (a) brown algae (Phaeophyceae)

  3. 3.

    In Chlorophyceae (green algae), the pigments are:

    1. chlorophyll a and d, phycoerythrin
    2. chlorophyll a and c, fucoxanthin
    3. chlorophyll b and c
    4. chlorophyll a and b
    Answer

    (d) chlorophyll a and b

Section B · short answer

  1. 4.

    Why are bryophytes called amphibians of the plant kingdom?

    Answer

    They live in soil but need water for the sperms (antherozoids) to swim to the egg, so they depend on both land and water.

  2. 5.

    In a flowering plant (angiosperm), the pollen grain has 21 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are there in the synergid, the zygote, the leaf cell?

    Answer

    synergid 21; zygote 42; leaf cell 42

    n = 21; haploid n, diploid 2n, triploid 3n

Section C · long answer

  1. 6.

    Compare the three classes of algae: pigments, stored food, cell wall, flagella and habitat.

    Answer

    Chlorophyceae: chlorophyll a, b; starch; cellulose wall; 2–8 equal apical flagella; fresh water, brackish and salt water. Phaeophyceae: chlorophyll a, c, fucoxanthin; mannitol and laminarin; cellulose and algin; two unequal lateral flagella; mostly marine. Rhodophyceae: chlorophyll a, d, phycoerythrin; floridean starch; cellulose, pectin and polysulphate esters; no flagella; mostly marine, often in deep water.
