  1. What qualifies an organism to fit in Plantae? • Must be able to photosynthesize • Almost unlimited growth in certain regions • Have cells with cellulose • Lack of organs to move • No nervous system or sensory system • Have haploid and diploid generations (britannica,2007)

  2. Distinguishing Characteristics of Plantae Compared To Other Kingdoms By: Nadja Van Brenk

  3. Plants Compared to… Animals Plants: generally in one place, chlorophyll Animals: can move on own Plants: make food, can’t sense (usually) Animals: plants/ animals, sensory + nervous system Plants: give oxygen + take in CO2 Animals: give CO2 + take in oxygen (mcwdn.org)

  4. Difference Between Plants and… Fungi Plants: can make food, have chlorophyll Fungi: can NOT make food, no chlorophyll Plants: reproduce through pollen/seeds Fungi: reproduce through spores (reproductive unit) – (Google Translate) Plants: attach ground, cellulose, produce biomass Fungi: net filaments, chitin, decompose biomass (Difference Between.net)

  5. Plants compared to… Achaea Eubacteria Plants: found in oxygenenvironments Achaea: only in oxygen free environments Plants: reproduce through seeds/pollen Achaea: reproduce through “binary fission” (Jirage, October 18,2012) Plants: seeds/pollen Eubacteria: “binary fission” (pinch off, DNA splits) (Chelius, Kent, Yannarell, Triplett)

  6. Plants: don’t move • Protista: flagellum, cilia, or amoeboid mechanisms • Plants: cell wall • Protista: usuallyno cell wall • Protista: TINY. (Caprette) Difference Between Plants and Protista

  7. What do plants have? • Plants can make their own food • Sunlight, water + carbon dioxide = simple sugars • Terrestrial plants vascular system • Water from ground + into plant • Aquatic plants absorb water + nutrients leaves

  8. What does it have? • Plants take carbon dioxide • Use for photosynthesis, + release oxygen • Plants have cell wall, cellulose + pectin • Plants rely third parties to procreate • ex: wind, animals + water

  9. What traits are required? Multi-cellular and develop from embryos Photosynthesize, contain chloroplasts Cellular-based cell walls  Plants are eukaryotes (Abedon,1997) (Waters,2006)

  10. Aloe Vera Scientific name- Aloe vera or Aloe barbadensis (LINCOLNOSE2®, flickr, 2008) (Olga berrios, 2008)

  11. What is Aloe? • Aloe is a Lilly like plant • Is found in warm, dry climates • Is grey-green with about 25 leaves • The plant has little/no stem • Has medical qualities • Native to Africa (Sheep"R"Us, flickr, 2008)

  12. Taxonomy of Aloe Kingdom-Plantae Subkingdom-Tracheobionta Superdivision- Spermatophyta Division-Magnoliophyta Class-Liliopsida Subclass-Liliidae Order-Liliales Family-Aloaceae Genus-Aloe L (USDA,2006)

  13. Habitats • Aloe was originally from Africa • Now found in many warm climates • Grown commercially in California, Texas, Florida • Found in, America, Europe, Australia, Mediterranean (Onekell, flickr, 2006) (Pfatter, flickr, 2012) (Samuel said,2003, Earlham, 2003)

  14. Threats to Aloe • Frost in the ground is fatal • Flooding, roots can drown • Animals will eat aloe • Deforestation, humans taking its habitat away • Also fires when climate is dry (Leonora Enking, 2010)

  15. Human impact • Humans use the plant for medicine • We also plant and farm Aloe • We've moved it to many countries • Our deforestation takes away its habitat (Gravitywave, flickr, 2005) ( jdong, flickr, 2007)

  16. Medical benefits • Heals wounds, cuts, burns and constipation • Has agents to kill/control infection • pain killing agents as well • Contains anti-inflammatory fatty acids • has 23 immune stimulators • Also 2 tumour fighting ingredients (Phuong Tran, flickr, 2010) (flp, 2005)

  18. Venus flytrap By: Nadja Van Brenk Kingdom: Plantae Phylum:Anthophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Nepenthales Family:Droseraceae Genus: Dionaea (Arkive) (Cepolina)

  19. What is a Venus flytrap? Definition: carnivorous plant, catches + digests prey (Google translate) Dionaea muscipula Dionaea – “diana”- goddess of love + beauty Muscipula – mousetrap Venus – goddess Aphrodite “Dione” flytrap – catches insects (Matt, 2008, April 4)

  20. Stock- around <14 inches • 4-8 leaves (rosette formation) • Short roots, cilia, trigger hairs, lobes (Carolina Carnivores, 2004) • Tiny white flowers bloom- unless cut (Vicynthia, May 21, 2012) • Glands on lobes (nectar/digestive juices) • Interior= red/exterior= green (Schnell, 2002) Structure Botanical Society of America

  21. Venus flytrap Habitat Coast North + South Carolina (savannas + wetlands) –(Schnell, 2002) Most plants can’t survive- flytraps can Soil around pH 4-5 In peat, sand, or loam Perennial Habitat of not usually below 32 F (Meeker-O’Connell) (Carolina Carnivores, 2004)

  22. timer @ one touch (range 20-40 seconds) • lobes snap shut (about 0.3 seconds) • fluid shift + growth cells outer surface (Schnell, 2002) How does it catch it’s prey? Contains ion channels Fires neurons Stimulated mechanoreception (chemical + electrical changes) (Rogers, 2009, July 31)

  23. not food = “spit” out 12h later • The cilia will keep prey inside • digestive fluids IN and bacteria OUT • After 4-5 openings, turns black + dies • slightly open after catching prey (Meeker-O’Connell) How Does it Catch it’s Prey (Continued)

  24. digestive juices + dissolves inner NOT exoskeleton 5-12 days: • Reabsorbs digestive juices + opens up (Meeker, O’Connell) How does the Venus flytrap Digest the Prey? Size of prey Temperature How old the Venus Fly Trap is # of times going through the process (Botanical Society of America)

  25. Human beings • Logging and trying to stop wildfires • Poachers (for profit) (Jennings, 2012, January 26) (Baker, 2008, May 10) Endangerment Status

  26. Venus flytrap Applications/Impacts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7eQKSf0LmY extract to make an herbal remedy Liquid form/capsule Injected/by mouth Plumbagin – active ingredient Also: flavonoids, acids, enzymes Some people believe it prevents cancers, etc. (American Cancer Society, 2008)
