  1. Botany Review

  2. Kingdom Plantae General Characteristics • ContainChlorophyll a • Multicellular • Made up of Eukaryotic Cells • Photosynthetic Autotrophs • Cell Walls made of Cellulose (polysaccharide) • Produce sugars as glucose, transport sugars as sucrose and store sugars as starch (a polysaccharide).

  3. Review of PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis is the process by which plants use the energy of sunlight to combine carbon dioxide and water to form glucose and oxygen. Light Energy + 6CO2 + 6H20 C6H12O6 + 6O2 Products Reactants

  4. Factors that Affect Photosynthesis • Amount of available Sunlight • Amount of available Water (rainfall) • Amount of Carbon Dioxide • Optimal Temperatures

  5. Adaptations plants made to survive on land • Developed Cuticles – waxy, protective outer coverings which prevent water loss. • Developed vascular tissues for transportation of water and sugars. • Developed spores/seeds for reproduction. • Developed tissues to strengthen stems to overcome gravity.

  6. The Classification of Plants Bryophytes – • are described as plants that lack xylem and phloem (vascular tissue) Tracheophytes – • are plants that have xylem and phloem (vascular tissue) Xylem is a type of vascular tissue that transports water upward from the roots to the leaves. Phloem is a type of vascular tissue that transports sugars (nutrients) from the leaves downward

  7. The Tracheophytes are divide into five groups…. The largest of the five groups are the: Non-Seed Bearing Plants And Seed Bearing Plants

  8. The Seed Bearing Plants are divided into two groups: Gymnosperms (naked-seed Plants) and Angiosperms (encased-seed plants)

  9. The Angiosperms are theFlowering Plants. Angiosperms are divided into two groups: Monocotyledons (Monocots) and Dicotyledons (Dicots)

  10. 4 Differences betweenMonocots and Dicots MonocotsDicots Leaves – parallel veins netted veins Petals - multiples of 3 multiples of 4 or 5 Seeds - one cotyledon two cotyledons Vascular tissues in a monocot stem are arranged randomly and look like “monkey faces”. Vascular tissues in a dicot stem are arranged in a ring surrounding the pith.

  11. Venation of Leaves MonocotsDicots venation is parallel venation is netted

  12. Number of Petals MonocotsDicots multiples of 3 multiples of 4 or 5

  13. New Information!

  14. Seasonal Adaptations Evergreens– • plants that remain green year round…. • Pine trees Deciduous– • plants that lose all their leaves all at one time…. • Apple trees, grapes

  15. Short and Long Day Plants • Short-day Plants – Flower when the days are shorter than 12 hours… like onions, garlic, chrysanthemums • Long-day Plants - Flower when the days are longer than 12 hours… like tomatoes and beans.

  16. Growth Cycles(from seed to seed) • Annuals – complete their entire life cycle in one growing season. Example: mums • Biennials – complete their entire life cycle in two growing seasons. Example: Broccoli • Perennials – continue to grow year after year…. Example: Apple trees can live for 80 years.

  17. Stem Types Herbaceous – Green, soft…. will wilt if water loss is extreme…. Sour grass, celery Woody – Brown, rigid…. Will remain erect even after they are dead…. Trees, roses

  18. Tropisms are the responses plants have to stimuli. A Negative (-) response is “away” from the stimuli A Positive (+) response is “toward” to stimuli Phototropism – a plant’s response to light Gravitropism – a plant’s response to gravity Hydrotropism – a plant’s response to water Chemotropism – a plant’s response to chemicals Thigmotropism – a plant’s response to touch

  19. Phototropism a plant’s response to light

  20. Gravitropism - (also called Geotropism) a plant’s response to gravity A Corn Root responds positively to gravity

  21. Thigmotropisma plant’s response to touch…the tendrils of a bean plant wraps around a garden post.

  22. Plant Hormones • Cytokinins – stimulate cell division, and promote the germination of dormant seeds • Auxins – are involved in plant-cell elongation, apical dominance, & rooting • Gibberillins – promotes shoot growth, “bolting”, and seed germination
