How do we classify and group plants? • What are the major divisions? • How are they grouped and classified? • How do you use a plant identification key?
Plant Taxonomy • Nonvascular Plants- have small reduced leaves, no vascular tissue( veins) no true roots, and reproduce by spores or flagellated cells that travel through water.
Vascular Plants- have true roots, stems, and leaves with vascular tissue. Xylem- water and minerals. Phloem- transports carbohydrates
Plant Divisions • nonvascular Bryophyta- mosses • vascular seedless Lycophyta-club moss Pterophyta-Ferns seed plants Gymnosperms-naked seeds Angiosperms-flowering plants
Gymnosperm Coniferophyta- needle or scale leaf, cones ( conifer) Anthophyta or Angiosperm Monocots- parallel veins, petals in 3’s Dicots- net veins, petals in 4’s or 5’s
Bryotphytes Mosses
Moses • Non-vascular Plants- No tissues to carry water • Spores used for reproduction • No true roots, stem • Reduced leaves
sporophyte Mosses gametophyte
sporophyte gametophyte
In mosses the dominant stage of their life cycle they only have half of their total chromosme number.
Spore Producing • Spores are reproductive stages that have only half the chromosomes or genetic material.
Lycopodium, Lycophyta
Pterophyta Ferns- reproduce with spores but have veins to carry water
Gymnosperms Naked seeds or seeds produced in cones.
Angiosperms or Anthophyta • Flowering plants • Seeds produced within a fleshy fruit with gametes borne within a flower.
Antheridium Archegonium
Taxonomy key\identification key • You always have two choices in a description of the organisms characteristic • Choose the correct choice and it takes you to a name or a number.
Botany • Tissues, Organs, and Systems
Vascular Tissue Xylem (wood) trachieds and vessel elements make up xylem. They are nonliving tubes with openings at the ends to carry water .
Transport in Vascular Plants • Water and minerals begin movement by osmosis. through root and root hair
capillary action in xylem vessel element Adhesion-water vessel wall Cohesion- water to water Transport in Plants cont.
Transpiration- water moves out through stoma in the leaf. closed H2O
