  1. We’re Done With Ecology! You Can Receive the Plant Packet and Put Name on It

  2. This adorable little guy seems to love getting his belly scrubbed - but why?Known as the plastron, the "belly" of a turtle, like the rest of their shells is made up of scutes - bony external plates. Scratching or rubbing helps them shed old scutes. They also have nerve ending that reach up to just under the carapace - so it's not just good for them, it feels good too!

  3. What is a Plant? • What do plants need to survive?

  4. Sporophyte – spore-producing plant; the multicellular diploid phase of a plant life cycle • Gametophyte – gamete-producing plant; multicellular haploid phase of a plant life cycle

  5. Vascular Plants • Xylem – vascular tissue that carries water upward from the roots to every part of a plant • Phloem – vascular tissue that transports solutions of nutrients and carbohydrates through the plant

  6. Seed Plants • Seed – reproductive structure that includes a developing plant and a food reserve enclosed in a resistant outer covering • Seeds contain – stored food and usually have special tissues or structures that aid in their distribution

  7. Seeds make it possible for? • Seeds to find new places to grow far from their parent plants

  8. Gymnosperms • Group of seed plants that bear their seeds directly on the scales of cones Angiosperms • Group of seed plants that bear their seeds with a layer of tissue that protects the seed; • also called a flowering plant

  9. Gymnosperms

  10. Angiosperms

  11. Pollen • Structure that contains the entire male gametophyte in seed plants Egg • Female reproductive cell

  12. Ovaries - • In plants, the structure that surrounds and protects seeds Fruits - • Structure in angiosperms that contains one or more matured ovaries

  13. Plant Fun Fact of the Day • An African bugleweed synthesizes in its tissues a substance similar to the hormone that controls the development of caterpillars. If a caterpillar is persuaded, experimentally, to ingest that substance, then when it turns into a butterfly it will develop two heads and die.
