This document provides an overview of the chapters covered in the final exam for Principles of Biology II. It summarizes the key topics from chapters 28-30 and 35-36 including: the five supergroups of eukaryotes; the life cycles of protists and plants; the evolution of land plants and seed plants; plant structure, growth and development; and resource acquisition and transport in vascular plants. Reproduction in angiosperms, plant biotechnology, and the mechanisms of short and long-distance transport in plants are also addressed.

Principles of Biology II
Review Final Exam
Chapter 28 Protists Endosymbiosis in Eukaryotic Evolution, Five Supergroups of Eukaryotes- list their key characteristics, and describe some representative taxa, Red algae and green algae. Life cycle of Plasmodium and Dictyostellum, a cellular slime mold Chapter 29 Plant Diversity I: How Plants Colonized Land Land plants evolved from green algae, Highlights of plant evolution. Derived Traits of Plants: Protection of the embryo, Alternation of generations (with multicellular embryos dependent on the parent plant), Walled spores produced in sporangia, Multicellular gametangia, Apical meristems. The Origin and Diversification of Plants: Nonvascular plants, vascular plants: seedless vascular plants, seed plants and their classification. The life cycle of a moss. The Ecological and Economic Importance of Mosses. Origins and Traits of Vascular Plants. The life cycle of a fern, Adaptations for life on land, sporophylls and Spore Variations, The Significance of Seedless Vascular Plants. Chapter 30 Plant Diversity II: The Evolution of Seed Plants Seeds and pollen grains, the key adaptations for life on land, Gametophyte/sporophyte relationships in different plant groups, Heterospory: Ovules and Production of Eggs, Heterospory: Pollen and Production of Sperm, The Evolutionary Advantage of Seeds, Gymnosperms bear naked seeds, typically on cones, The Life Cycle of a Pine, The reproductive adaptations of angiosperms include flowers and fruits, The Angiosperm Life Cycle, Angiosperm Evolution. Major differences between monocots and eudicots. Chapter 35 Plant Structure, Growth, and Development The plant body has a hierarchy of organs, tissues, and cells, structure of leaf, stem and roots and their modifications. Dermal, Vascular (Xylem, Phloem), and Ground Tissues (parenchyma cells, Collenchyma cells, Sclerenchyma cells. Meristems generate cells for new organs (indeterminate growth, determinate growth). Meristems (Apical meristems, Lateral meristems). Primary Growth and secondary growth (vascular cambium, cork cambium). Primary Growth of Roots: Zone of cell division, Zone of elongation, Zone of maturation. Primary Growth of Shoots, Tissue Organization of Leaves, secondary growth adds girth to stems and roots in woody plants, Growth, morphogenesis, and differentiation produce the plant body, Gene Expression and Control of Cellular Differentiation, Genetic Control of Flowering: ABC Model. Chapter 38 Angiosperm Reproduction and Biotechnology Flowers, double fertilization, and fruits are unique features of the angiosperm life cycle, angiosperm reproduction: Flower Structure and Function, Development of Male and Female Gametophytes, Pollination and Double Fertilization. Structure of the mature seed. Seed Dormancy, Seed Germination, and Seedling Development. Fruit Form and Function. Flowering plants reproduce sexually, asexually, or both. Mechanisms of sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Vegetative Propagation and Agriculture. Plant Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering. Chapter 36 Resource Acquisition and Transport in Vascular Plants Resource acquisition and transport in a vascular plant, Different mechanisms to transport substances over short or long distance, diffusion, osmosis, active transport, passive transport, transport proteins, solute transport across plant cell plasma membranes. Three Major Pathways of Transport: symplastic route, apoplastic route, transmembrane route. Bulk Flow in Long-Distance Transport, Transpiration derives the transport of water and minerals from roots to shoot via the xylem, Bulk Flow Driven by Negative Pressure (Tension) in the Xylem, Pulling Xylem Sap: The Transpiration-Cohesion-Tension Mechanism, The rate of transpiration is regulated by stomata, Stimuli for stomatal opening and closing, sugars are transported from sources to sink via the phloem, Bulk Flow by Positive Pressure: The Mechanism of translocation in angiosperms.
