Seed Plants • Do not require standing water to reproduce
Seed Plants • Do not require standing water to reproduce • Encase young plants to protect & feed
Seed Structure Consists of: 1- seed coat 2- young plant (embryo) 3- stored food (cotyledon)
Cotyledon Monocot – one cotyledon Dicot – two cotyledons
Reproductive Structures ovule -
Reproductive Structures ovule – female structure containing egg cells pollen -
Reproductive Structures ovule – female structure containing egg cells pollen – male structure containing sperm cells (often with spikes on surface)
Types of Plants gymnosperms -
Types of Plants gymnosperms – “naked” seeds (not covered by ovary)
Types of Plants gymnosperms – “naked” seeds (not covered by ovary) cones – location of reproductive structure (ex. Pine trees)
Types of Plants angiosperms– seed contained in “vessel” (seeds covered by ovary)
Types of Plants angiosperms– seed contained in “vessel” (seeds covered by ovary) flowers – location of reproductive structures (a.k.a. flowering plants)
Gymnosperms 4 phyla:
Gymnosperms 4 phyla: 1- cycads – tropical, palmlike
Gymnosperms 4 phyla: 1- cycads – tropical, palmlike 2- ginkoes – ornamental (seeds stink!)
Gymnosperms 4 phyla: 1- cycads – tropical, palmlike 2- ginkoes – ornamental 3- conifers – cone-bearing, evergreen (like pine)
Gymnosperms 4 phyla: 1- cycads – tropical, palmlike 2- ginkoes – ornamental 3- conifers – cone-bearing 4- gnetophytes – blended characteristics of gymno & angiosperms
Angiosperms • Largest plant group in the world
Angiosperms • Largest plant group in the world • Also called “flowering” plants
Flowers • Contain the reproductive organs
Flowers • Stamen (male)
Flowers • Pistil (female)
Tropism • A plant’s response to a stimulus
Tropism • A plant’s response to a stimulus Response – a reaction to a stimulus
Tropism • A plant’s response to a stimulus Response – a reaction to a stimulus Stimulus – something causing a reaction
2 Types of Tropism 1- Phototropism -
2 Types of Tropism 1- Phototropism – a plant’s response to light
2 Types of Tropism 2- Gravitropism -
2 Types of Tropism 2- Gravitropism – a plant’s response to gravity
Tropism Positive tropism – response toward a stimulus
Tropism Positive tropism – response toward a stimulus Negative tropism – response away from a stimulus
