13.1 Succession Pages 588-591
Succession • The gradual change in types of species found in an area over time.
Primary Succession • Begins on bare rock Examples: after glaciers recede, volcanoes spew dust and lava or after explosions. Pioneer plants are first colonizers
Primary succession • Bare rock
Primary Succession • Lichens (fungi and algae)
Primary Succession • Grass and wild flowers
Primary Succession • Shrubs
Primary Succession • trees
Primary succession • Climax forest: Maple beech forest
Secondary Succession • Occurs after a disruption Examples include fire, flood, storms, plowing or digging the ground • Faster transformation
Secondary Succession • construction
Secondary succession • Forest fire
Secondary Succession • floods
13.2 Asexual Reproduction in Seed Plants Pages 592-594
Vegetative reproduction Leaves
Asexual reproduction Stems -rhizomes -corms -stolons -tuber “eyes”
Asexual Reproduction Roots -suckers
pros and cons Advantages: -less energy investment -quick -plantlets are more robust than seedlings Disadvantages: -lack of genetic variation
Grafting branch is attached to a stem of another plant • Branch is the scion. • Donor plant is the stock.
13.3 Sexual Reproduction in Plants Pages 595-602
Seed-protects and nourishes the embryo Endosperm-specialized nutritive layer
Seeds • Seed dispersal by wind, water, animals • Gymnosperms are naked seeds • Angiosperm seeds are contained in fruits
Benefits of Sexual reproduction -Genetic variety -Wide dispersal -Seed dormancy
Gymnosperms • Male cones microspores pollen grains • Female cones megaspores egg-producing gametophytes • Wind pollination
Fertilization • Pollen grain lands next to ovule. • Pollen tube grows to ovule. • Haploid nucleus divides into two haploid sperm. • One sperm fertilizes ovule • Time: 13 months
Angiosperms Male: stamen Female: carpel
Parts • Male: stamen anther –pollen grains filament- stalk • Female: carpel stigma- sticky top style- stalk ovary- contains ovules
Monocot vsEudicot flowers • Monocot flowers- petals in 3’s Ex. tulip, lilly • Eudicot flowers – petals in 4’s or 5’s or more Ex. rose
Pollination • Animal or wind • Cross-pollination between plants • Self-pollination between flowers Pollen lands on stigma Pollen tube grows down to ovary 2 haploid sperm: one fertilizes ovule to make a 2n seed, and one fertilizes a diploid polar nuclei that becomes a triploid 3n endosperm
