Explore the fascinating world of plants, from their cellular structure and reproduction methods to their adaptations for survival on land. Learn about different plant divisions and their uses. Discover the role of seeds, flowers, and fruit in plant reproduction and the importance of plants in providing food and medicine.

Land Adaptations Green algae are believed to be the ancestors of modern plants • To move from the water to land, plants had to adapt • systems that would support their weight • provide transport of water and nutrients • protection from drying out, • and insulation from the sun and temperature changes. invasion of land by plants probably occurred about 450 million years ago 4

Spore Producing Nonvascular Plants 8
Clip Small Water transported by osmosis Bryophytes Simplest plants Must remain near water 9
spores Spores are specialized structures that can grow directly into a new plant 10
Uses: • decomposer • Serve as pioneer plants on bare rock or ground • Help prevent erosion • shelter for insects & small animals • nesting materials by birds & mammals • Sphagnum or peat moss forms peat bogs (wet ecosystem) • Peat is burned as fuel in some areas Mosses • Small • Must live in moist place 11

Spore Producing vascular Plants 18
Vascular Tissue 19
XYLEM: Vascular tissue that transports water and minerals upward through the plant body. Two types of vascular Tissue PHLOEM: Vascular tissue that transports sugars from photosynthesis through the plant body. 20
These plants are sometimes called scouring rushes because the epidermal (outer) cells contain silica in their cell walls. They were used by Native Americans & early pioneers for scrubbing and polishing. 24 Horsetails
26 Ferns
Largest group of living seedless vascular plants • Live in moist habitats • Alternates between dominant Sporophyte stage & Gametophyte stage • Need water for sexual reproduction • Produce spores on the underside of their fronds 27

Seed Producing Vascular Plants 33
34 Reproduction AWAY From water • Sperm incased in Pollen Grain • Embryos in Seeds Gymnosperms Cone-Bearing Cycads, Ginkgoes, Conifers, Gnetophytes Angiosperms Flowering Plants
35 Seeds
36 the sprouting of a seed is called germination. • Plant embryo • Stored food supply • Seed coat
37 Seeds can tolerate unfavorable conditions by becoming dormant. When conditions become favorable, the seed sprouts into a new plant.
38 Seeds can be dispersed by wind, water and animals.
Plant Body Structure 39
42 Roots: anchor, store nutrients, absorb minerals and water.
44 Bean roots White Potato: NOT A ROOT-An underground stem!
45 STEMS • Provide structural support • produce leaves, branches, and flowers. • Transport water and minerals between the roots and leaves.
47 leaves site of photosynthesis, which produces food for the entire plant.
49 Waxy covering to prevent water loss Outer layer of cells Vascular tissue
50 Gymnosperms
51 • “naked seed” • Seeds produced in cones do not need water for reproduction
52 Pollen Grains
54 Pollination: When the pollenis transferred from the male part of the plant to the female part of the plant. transferred by wind, water, or animals
Scientist can learn information about past weather and climate from tree rings. 57
60 grasses, wildflowers, shrubs,and trees. Angiosperms Produce their reproductive structure in flowers
61 Seeds, pollen, flowers, and fruit are adaptations that allow angiosperms to survive in a wide variety of environments. do not need water for reproduction
62 • Two groups of Angiosperms: • Monocotyledon • -one seed leaf • Dicotyledon • -two seed leaves “Seed Leaf”
63 Monocots vs. Dicots
Flowers are unique reproductive organs that produce seeds surrounded by a fruit. 65 POLLINATION Female Male Pollinationtransfer of pollen
67 Fruit is a ripened ovary with its seeds
69 Carnivorous Plants
70 • Seed plants have important uses for • Food and Medicine • Angiosperms produce flowers, fruits, seeds, and pollen that providefood essential to many organisms, including humans--cereal grains, legumes, &root crops. • Trees provide food and shelter for many animals, as well as providing fuel, lumber, and paper products. • Fibers like cotton.
