Kingdom Plantae characteristics

• Eukaryotic: DNA contained in a nucleus • Autotrophic: (self-nourish) makes food

through photosynthesis • Multicellular • Specialized tissue • Cell wall made of cellulose

Plant adaptations

• Plants evolved from aquatic environments to terrestrial environments – Water absorption/retention

• root structure: mycorrhizae helps absorb nutrients • Leaf structure: cuticle prevents transpiration • Vascular tissue: specialized cells that transport water and

nutrients – Reproduction

• Pollen: plant sperm are enclosed in structures that allow them to disperse without drying out

• Seeds: protect, nourish, disperse, and store plant embryo

Types of plants

• Non-vascular • Vascular

• Seedless • Seeded

• Gymnosperm • Angiosperm

• Monocot • Dicot

Non-vascular plants

• The first plants to evolve were non-vascular • Small size: without vascular tissue, water and

nutrients are transported by osmosis and diffusion (absorbed)

• Require water for sexual reproduction: plants must be covered by a film of water in order for fertilization to occur. Gametophyte grows in mats covered by a film of water so the sperm can swim to neighboring plants to fertilize the egg

• Examples: mosses, liverworts and hornworts

Non-vascular plants

Seedless vascular plants

• These plants are larger than the mosses but must grow in moist environments

• Structures: – vascular tissue: xylem and phloem – true roots, stems, and leaves – Spores: have thickened walls that are

resistant to drying • Examples: ferns, club mosses, horsetails,

and whisk ferns

Seeded vascular plants

• Gymnosperms gymno = naked sperm = seed

exposed seeds • Angiosperms

angio = contained sperm = seed seeds enclosed in an ovary (fruit)

– Monocot – Dicot

Gymnosperm plants

• These are seed plants whose seeds do not develop within a sealed container

• Key features of Gymnosperms: –Vascular tissue: xylem and phloem –Seeds: not contained in fruit –Wind pollination: Sperm are enclosed in

pollen and carried to the eggs by wind (no water required)

• Examples: conifers, cycads, ginkoes, and gnetophytes.

Gymnosperm plants

Angiosperm plants

Key features of angiosperms: • Flowers: male and female gametophytes

develop within flowers. This promotes pollination and fertilization (no water required)

• Fruits: promote seed dispersal. How?? • Endosperm: stored food for the development

of the seed

Angiosperm plants

MONOCOT one seed leaf

DICOT two seed leaves

Angiosperm: Monocot

• Grasses, cereals, some flowers • One seed leaf (cotyledon) • Blade-like leaves with parallel venation • Vascular tissue scattered • Flowers in multiples of 3 • Fibrous roots

Angiosperm: Dicot

• Trees, some flowers • Two seed leaves (cotyledon) • Broad leaves with perpendicular venation • Vascular tissue in ring formation • Flowers in multiples of 4 or 5 • Tap roots

Parts of a leaf

• Epidermis: outer layers (top and bottom) • Cuticle

– waxy, waterproof layer – conserves water by preventing evaporation

• Stomata – holes in the bottom epidermis layer that allow for

gas exchange – guard cell surrounding stomata allow them to

open and close

Parts of a leaf

• Blade: flat, broad section – How is this significant?

• Petiole: short stalk that connects the leaf to the stem

• Veins: tube-like structures that carry water, minerals, and nutrients throughout the blade – Branching: dicots – Parallel: monocots

leaf arrangements

venation

Types of leaves

• Simple: one blade • Compound: two or more blades called leaflets

– Pinnate: feather-like, branching off one central vein – Palmate: radiate from a central point

Plant book: BACK of page 4 photosynthesis notes

• Occurs in chloroplast – Most chloroplasts are located in leaf cells

• 2 stages: 1. Light-dependent reactions

– occurs in thylakoid

2. Light-independent/dark reactions (Calvin cycle) – occurs in stroma

Light-depedent reactions

• Occurs in thylakoid • Photosystem II:

– Radiant energy (light) splits water (H2O) and sends H- electrons to a higher energy level

– Oxygen (O2) is a waste product

• Photosystem I: – Radiant energy (light) sends the electrons to an even

higher energy level to make ATP for the second stage of photosynthesis (light-independent reactions)

Light-independent reactions

• Also called Calvin cycle • Occurs in stroma • ATP from stage I is used to make carbon

dioxide (CO2) into glucose (C6H12O6)

• Produce nectar: source of nutrition for pollinators

Flower notes

• Flower parts – Sepals: protect the flower while still a bud (inside) – Petals: attract pollinators, brightly colored – Stamen: produce pollen

– Review: what is pollen? • Filament: stalk of stamen • Anther: pollen producing sac at end of stamen

– Pistil: produce ovules • Ovary: contains gametes • Style: stalk connects ovary to stigma • Stigma: where pollen enters

Flower notes

• Pollination: dispersal of plant sperm – Abiotic: Wind – Biotic: Insects, birds, bats

Plant book: page 9 Seed notes

• Seed parts – Coat: protects embryo from damage

• Enables embryos to survive unfavorable conditions – Endosperm: nutrients stored in the seed

• Embryos cannot photosynthesize inside the seed – Cotyledons: (seed leaves) transfer nutrients to

embryo • Monocot = one cotyledon • Dicot = two cotyledon

Seed notes

• Adaptations for dispersal – Wind wanderers: structures that catch wind

• Ex: Dandelion – Sharp shooters: seed pods ripen and “explode” – Frequent floaters: hollow center floats on water

• Ex: coconuts – Biological bribers: encased in fruit for animals to eat.

The seed passes through the digestive system as the animal migrates. The seed and is deposited elsewhere along with ‘organic nutrients’

– Hooky hitchhikers: sharp or sticky coat attaches to motile organisms

• Ex: burr, sticker

Plant book: page 10 Tropism notes

• Plant responses • Tropism: a response in which a plant grows

toward or away from a stimulus • Auxin: a growth hormone that promotes cell

division on the dark side of the stem, causing it to bend toward the light

Tropism notes

• Phototropism: response of plant growth toward light • Photoperiodism: response of plant growth length of

days and nights • Dormancy: when a plant or seed remains inactive, even

when conditions are suitable for growth (winter season)

• Geotropism: response of plant growth to gravity • Hydrotropism: response of plant growth toward water • Thigmotropism : repsonse to touch

– Ex: vines on a trellis, venus fly trap
