THE PHYLOGENY OF PLANTS…
Charophytes (green algae)
Bryophytes (non vascular)
Trachoephytes (seedless, vascular)
Gymnosperms (“naked seeds”,vascular)
Angiosperms (contained seeds, vascular)Monocots / Dicots
Major Parts of a Plant
– Leaves Where photosynthesis
occurs
– Seeds Method of sexual
reproduction
– Flower Site where reproduction
occurs
– Stem Transports nutrients and
supports the plant
– Root take in nutrients and
anchor plant
The Seed Parts of a Seed
– Cotyledon
The first leaves of a plant
– Seed Coat
Outside covering of a seed
– Endosperm
Food storage tissue that nourishes the embryo
– Embryo
– New plant developed after fertilization
Types of Seeds
Monocots– A seed with only one cotyledon– All grasses are monocots– Flower parts in threes – Leaves with parallel primary veins Dicots– A seed with two cotyledons– Flower parts in fours or fives – Leaves with distinct vein network – All broadleaf plants are dicots
Seed Parts
Plumule- is like a leave in its early development becomes the shoot
Hypocotyl- develops into the stem
Radicle- Becomes roots
Fertilizationzygoteseed (embryo)
Male Parts of the Flower
Stamen- Makes up all male parts
Pollen- Male sex cell, similar to sperm
Anther- Sac-like structure on top of the filament
Filament- Short stalk that holds the anther
Female Parts of the Flower
Pistil- Makes up all female parts
Ovules- Female sex cell, similar to the egg
Stigma- Sticky part of the system, catches pollen
Style-Tube that leads from the stigma to the ovary
Ovary- Place where ovule is fertilized by the pollen, Turns into a fruit or seed coat
PROBLEM!IF THE CUTICLE BLOCKS WATER, WHAT
ELSE IS PREVENTED FROM ENTERING/EXITING THE PLANT?
C O 2 !!
Solution? STOMATA!
– Tiny pores in epidermis surrounded by two guard cells!
– Open during the day! Why? PS occurs during the day Transpiration necessary for cooling
VASCULAR TISSUE 2 MAJOR TYPES:
– XYLEM TISSUE– PHLOEM TISSUE– Found together in VASCULAR BUNDLES– Arise primarily from apical meristem– Arise secondarily from vascular cambium
XYLEM TISSUE CONDUCTS WATER PROVIDES MECHANICAL SUPPORT 2 TYPES OF XYLEM CELLS:
– TRACHEIDS:– VESSEL ELEMENTS:
Sieve tube members Form sieve tubes to conduct sugars
throughout plant Lack nuclei, ribosomes, vacuoles, etc.
Vascular
bundle
Parts of the Stem – Xylem
Water and minerals travel up to other plant parts
– Phloem
Manufactured food travels down to other plant parts
– Cambium
– Separates xylem and phloem
Types of Root Systems – Fibrous Roots
– Easier to transplant
Short, small, compact roots
– Tap Root
– Difficult to transplant, since most of the tap root is cut-off
Tap root is primarily used for storage of food
In both types, most nutrients and water are absorbed by root hair
Roots can be adapted for storage of nutrients:– Example: Carrot (Taproot)
Sweet Potato (Fibrous Root)
Plant Processes – Photosynthesis
Mixes light, water, and carbon dioxide in the presence of chlorophyll to produce sugar and oxygen
– Respiration
Combines sugars and oxygen to give off water and heat
– Transpiration
– Loss of water through the leaves or stems
– Causes wilting when soil is dry
Plant Systems There are 3 main plant
systems: Reproductive – this is the
flower structure Transport – this is the
stem and roots and their xylem and phloem
Energy – this is the leaf and other areas of photosynthesis.
