  1. Classification of Plants

  2. The Plant Life Cycle • A plant alternates between 2 adult phases during its lifetime. The SPOROPHYTE or diploid phase (2n) is usually larger and is what you see when you look at most plants.

  3. Diploid = full number of chromosomes • In humans, our diploid number is. . . . • 46

  4. The Plant Life Cycle • The GAMETOPHYTE or haploid phase (n) is the dominant phase in mosses. In most other plants it is very small and is actually part of the sporophyte plant.

  5. Haploid = half the normal number of chromosomes • In humans, our haploid number is. . . • 23.

  6. Sporophyte Gametophyte

  7. Phylum Bryophyta—Non Vascular Plants Examples: Mosses, Liverworts and Hornworts

  8. Liverwort Hornwort

  9. Phylum Bryophyta • 1. Life Cycle: GAMETOPHYTE is the dominant form • 2. Reproduction occurs in WATER; must live in WET environments

  10. Phylum Bryophyta • 3. No vascular tissue (transport system for water and nutrients); no true ROOTS, STEMS or LEAVES. Obtain water through OSMOSIS • 4. Less than a few CM tall.

  11. Phylum PteridophytaSimple Vascular Plants Examples: Ferns and Horsetails

  12. Phylum Pteridophyta • 1. Life Cycle: SPOROPHYTE is the dominant form • 2. Contain VASCULAR tissue—plants can become LARGER and more complex

  13. Phylum Pteridophyta • 3. True ROOTS, STEMS and LEAVES • 4. Sexual reproduction requires water for the SPERM to swim to the EGG

  14. The remaining 2 phyla are called seed plants because they use seeds for reproduction

  15. POLLEN • Seed plants store SPERM in POLLEN. • How does pollen travel? • How is this different from the non-vascular and simple vascular plants?

  16. Phylum ConiferophytaGymnosperms (Cone Bearers) Examples: Pine Tree, Cedar

  17. Phylum Coniferophyta • 1. Life Cycle: SPOROPHYTE is the dominant form • 2. Contain VASCULAR tissue

  18. Phylum Coniferophyta • 3. Reproduction depends on SEEDS that are stored in CONES. • 4. Leaves are NEEDLE LIKE

  19. Phylum AnthophytaAngiosperms (Flowering Plants) Examples: Wildflowers, Oak Tree

  20. Phylum Anthophyta • 1. Life Cycle: SPOROPHYTE is the dominant form • 2. Contain VASCULAR tissue

  21. Phylum Anthophyta • 3. Have FLOWERS that aid in reproduction and have allowed them to spread to almost every BIOME • 4. Leaves are BROAD and FLAT

  22. Phylum Anthophyta • 5. There are 2 groups: MONOCOTS and DICOTS. • Monocot = 1 seed leaf • Dicot = 2 seed leaves

  23. The leaves of monocots have parallel veins

  24. The leaves of dicots have net or branched veins

  25. Which Phylum?

  26. Which Phylum?

  27. Which Phylum?

  28. Which Phylum?

  29. Which Phylum?

  30. NAME THAT PLANT • Identify each of the following as a: • Non-Vascular Plant • Simple Vascular Plant • Gymnosperm • Angiosperm • If it is an angiosperm, also identify it as a monocot or dicot.

  31. Peat Moss

  32. Loblolly Pine

  33. FERN

  34. POST OAK TREE

  35. CEDAR

  36. BLUEBONNET

  37. LILY

  38. JUNIPER
