Discover the fascinating world of plants, living eukaryotic organisms that manufacture their own food through chlorophyll. Learn about the importance of plants in supporting the cell structure and how they adapt to changes in their environment. Explore the ways to categorize plants based on their uses, physiology, and life cycles, whether they are annual, biennial, or perennial. Delve into the diverse structures of plants, from flowers to gymnosperms and angiosperms, and understand the evolution of plants through taxonomy.
E N D
Plants • Living eukaryotic organisms • Chlorophyll • Manufacture their own food • Autotroph/Producer • Cell walls • Support the cell and whole structure
Plants • Cannot move when environment changes • Must be able to; • Get nutrients • Reproduce • Retain moisture
Ways to Group Plants • Uses • Fruit, vegetables, shrubs, flowers, turf • Physiology • Non vascular or Vascular • With or without seeds • Life Cycle • Annual, seed to production one year • Biennial, seed to storage in one year • Perennial, flowers and seeds each year
Perennial • Herbaceous • Woody • Deciduous • Evergreen • Tender • Hardy
Structure • Flowers, leaves, fruit, or seed • Angiosperms • Flowering • Gymnosperms • Cone – bearers • Mosses and ferns • Reproduce by spores
