Section One: The Plant Kingdom
• Plant- autotrophic,
eukaryotes, has many cells,
undergo sexual reproduction,
and surrounded by cell walls
• What makes them different
from algae?
• They are adapted to live
on land
• Have ways to obtain
and keep water
• Can transport
materials through their
body
Adaptations for Living On Land
• Retaining Water- plants
have a thick cuticle which
is a waxy coating that helps
to keep water in the plant
• Transporting Materialsplants have a system in
which water, minerals, and
food move throughout the
body
• Xylem- water goes up
• Phloem- food goes
down
Phloem
Xylem
Adaptations for Living on Land
• Support- low-lying plants do
not necessarily have this
problem, but large plants and
trees need to have rigid cell
structures and vascular tissue
(bark)
• Reproduction- plants undergo
sexual reproduction that can
be fertilized within a dry
environment
• Zygote- a fertilized cell
(sperm and egg are
together)
Classifying Plants
• Non-Vascular Plantsplants that lack a good
system for transporting
materials up and down
their bodies
• Low-growing plants
• Very slow method
• Vascular Plants- plants
that have true vascular
tissue (xylem and
phloem)
• Plants are taller
• Quicker method
Do you think
these trees would
need vascular
tissue?
Partnered Ice Breaker
• What are two characteristics of plants
that make them similar to algae?
• What is the difference between xylem
and phloem?
• What is the difference between nonvascular plants and vascular plants?
Origin of Plants
• Fossil evidence shows that green algae
are ancestors of plants today
Two Stages of Plant Life Cycles
• Sporophyte- produces spores
• Gametophyte- produces egg and
sperm cells
Section Two:
Plants Without Seeds

Types of Seedless Nonvascular
Plants
• Keep in mind that non-vascular
plants do NOT have xylem and
phloem
• Three groups of Nonvascular
Plants
• Mosses
• Liverworts
• Hornworts
• All three groups are low-growing
and live in moist environments
• Sporophyte grows right
out of gametophyte
Mosses
• Most diverse group of
nonvascular plants (10,000
species)
• Rhizoid- thin, root-like
structure anchor mosses
and absorb water
• Spores produced in a
capsule at the top
Liverworts
• 8,000 species of liverworts
• Sporophyte named after the shape of
the human liver
Hornworts
• Less than 100 species of hornworts
• Live among grass
• Sporophyte looks like a horn
Seedless Vascular Plants
• Have vascular tissue
• Reproduce by spores
• Examples:
• Ferns
• Club Mosses
• Horsetails
Ferns
• 12,000 species
• Have true stems, roots,
and leaves
• Major part of the fern is
the frond
• Frond- leaves that
are divided into many
smaller parts that look
like small leaves
• Spores released from
underside of leaves
Frond
Horsetails
• Very few species left on Earth
• Very hard, bristly leaves
• Used by early Americans to clean
their pots and pans
Club Mosses
• Only a few hundred
species left on Earth
• Unlike true mosses,
these mosses do
have vascular tissue
• Looks like the small
branch of a pine tree
Ice Breaker
• What is the difference between xylem
and phloem?
• What is the difference between a plant
that is non-vascular and a plant that is
vascular?
Section 3: The Characteristics of
Seed Plants
What are Seed Plants?
• Seed plants are all around
you, and are very abundant
• For every 1 seedless
plant, there are 10 seed
plants
• Seed Plants
• Have vascular tissue
• Use pollen and seeds to
reproduce
• Have roots, stems, leaves
Review of Vascular Tissue
• Vascular tissuekeeps plants upright,
and supplies cells
with food, water, and
minerals
• Xylem- goes up,
carries water
• Phloem- goes down,
carries food
Ways of Reproduction
• Unlike seedless plants (i.e. moss),
seed plants can live in any
environment
• Seedless plants have to live in
moist environments
• Seed plants use the two following
structures to reproduce:
• Pollen- tiny structures that
contain cells that will be sperm
cells one day
• Seed- a structure that contains
a young plant inside a
protective covering that keeps
the plant from drying out
•
Seed
Structure
and
Dispersal
Inside of a seed is a partially
developed plant
• Three main parts:
• Embryo- the young plant that
develops from the zygote, or
fertilized egg
• Cotyledon- the leaves of a
seed; sometimes food is
stored in the cotyledon
• Seed Coat- outer covering
that protects the seed from
drying out
• Fruit- protects the whole seed
• What are the three ways in which
organisms move from place to
place?
• Seed Dispersal- Wind, water,
other organisms
•
Plant
Growth
Germination- occurs when
the seed begins to grow
again, and pushes out of the
seed
• It is best that a seed plants
itself away from its parent.
Can you think of why would
this be?
• Does not have to
compete with its parent
• Spreads its species out
over an area
• Can you imagine if all of
the pine trees in the
Adirondack region were
only located in the
schoolyard of
Northville?
Roots
• Three functions of roots:
• Anchor the plant
• Absorb water
• Store food
• Three types of roots
• Fibrous- dense and tangled;
take up a lot of space
• Examples: grass, onions,
corn
• Taproot- one big, massive root
that branches off into little
smaller hair-like roots
• Examples: dandelions, carrot
Fibrous
Tap Root
Structure of Roots
• Root Capprotects the root
from injury as the
root grows
through the soil
• Root Hairsincreases surface
area so that more
water and
minerals are
absorbed; also
helps to anchor
the plant better
Stems
• Stems- carries
substances between
plants roots and leaves;
holds leaves up towards
the sun
• Two types of stems:
• Herbaceous stemsoft (ex. Daffodils)
• Woody stem- hard
(ex. Maple tree, roses)
• Cambium- located
in woody stems that
is found towards
the outside; makes
new xylem and
phloem

Tree
Studies
Examine the following wood
samples…what do you see?
• Each ring represents one year
of growth
• Dendrochronology- the study
of tree growth by examining
annual rings
• Annual rings- circles in a
tree that represent how old
the tree is
• One dark ring and one
light ring make up one
full year
• Light ring- growth in
spring; really rapid
growth
• Dark ring- growth in
summer/fall; slower
growth
Summer/Fall
Spring
Leaves


Leaves- capture the sun’s
energy and carry out the
food-making process of
photosynthesis
Leaves vary greatly
depending on the tree



Oak trees have really big leaves
Pine trees have needles
Palm trees have leaves that are
big, but have small parts to it


Parts of a Leaf
Cuticle- prevents water loss
Stomata- pores that open and
close to control when gases
leave (O2) and enter the cell
(CO2)

Transpiration- the process by
which water evaporates from a
plant’s leaves



Stomata close during the day
to prevent transpiration from
the heat
Stomata open at night when
its cooler and there is less of a
chance of transpiration
Photosynthesis in Leaves

Photosynthesis occurs at the
top of the leaf, where there
are more chloroplasts
Section Four: Gymnosperm and
Angiosperms
Gymnosperms vs. Angiosperms
• Think of a pine cone versus
an apple
• Although they are
structurally different, they
both contain seeds
• Both are in different groups
• Gymnosperms- produces
“naked” seeds
• Seeds are not enclosed
within a fruit
• Trees tend to have needlelike leaves, and deep roots
• Example: pine tree,
spruce tree
Types of Gymnosperms
• Cycads- grow in subtropical
and tropical areas
• All plants about 175
million years ago were
cycads
• Conifers- cone-bearing
plants
• Largest and most diverse
of the gymnosperms
• Ginkgoes- only one living
tree today called Ginkgo
biloba
• Gnetophytes- live in dry
areas
• Can be either trees,
shrubs, or vines
• The plant Welwitschia can
live for 1,000 years
Reproduction in Gymnosperms
• Cones- the gymnosperm
reproductive structure that
can be either male or female;
covered in scales
• Trees usually have both
the male and female parts,
but some trees just have
one or the other
• At the base of each female
scale of a pinecone are
ovules
• Ovules- a structure that
contains an egg cell
• This will develop into a
seed once it is fertilized
Reproduction in Gymnosperms
• Steps of reproduction in a gymnosperm
are as follows…
• Step One: Pollination- pollen
transfers from the male structure to
the female structure
• Step Two: Fertilization- once the
sperm meets the egg cell, the ovule
closes off and seals it (the embryo
forms)
• Step Three: Seed Developmentfemale cones stay on the tree until
they get mature; males fall off of the
tree after they pollinate
• Step Four: Seed Dispersal- when the
seed is mature, the scales open up
and release the seed out into the air to
be picked up, carried to a new place,
and form into a new plant
Ice Breaker
• Roughly explain the reproductive cycle
of a gymnosperm
Pretty Flowers of the Day
Buttercup
Petunia
Angiosperms
• Angiospermsflowering plants that
have their seeds
enclosed within fruits
• Flower- the main
purpose of a flower is
for reproduction
• Carries reproductive
structures
• Attracts insects to
help pollinate
Parts of Flowers
• Sepal- located at the
base of the flower;
when the flower has
not bloomed yet, it is
contained within the
sepal
• Petals- colorful; this is
the main part that
attracts insects to the
flower for pollination
Male Parts of the Flower
• Stamen- male
reproductive part
• Anther- top
part where the
pollen is
produced
• Filament- thin
stalk where the
anther sits on
Female Parts of the Flower
• Pistil- female part of
the flower
• Stigma (“sticky
stigma”)- top
where pollen
sticks
• Style- long tube
where pollen
travels down to
fertilize ovaries
• Ovary- where the
egg and sperm
cells join; protects
the seed as it
grows
Reproduction in Angiosperms
• Pollination• Pollen from an anther falls
onto the “sticky stigma”
• The pollen then grows a
long tube down the style to
the eggs
• The sperm cells make their
way down to the egg cells
via the tube
• Fertilization- the sperm and
egg cells form (to make a
zygote) and then begin to
make an embryo within a
seed
• Fruit Development- as the
seed develops in the ovary,
the ovary then becomes a fruit
• Fruit- a ripened ovary that
protects seeds
Major Groups of Angiosperms
• Recall that cotyledons are the first leaves of
a seed, and a place where embryos can get
their food
• Monocots- “one cotyledon”
• Dicot- “two cotyledons”

Section 5: Plant Responses and
Growth
Tropisms
• Think of…
• Being pricked by a needle
• You try to move away from the
needle because it hurts
• Being really cold, and a fire in the
fireplace is burning in the next
room
• You move to the fire to warm up
• Both the needle’s pain and the fire’s
warmth is called a stimulus
• Tropism: a plant’s response toward
or away from a stimulus
Types of Tropisms Yum!
• Thigmotropism- a
plant’s response to
touch
• Example: vines
crawling up a wall,
Venus Fly Trap
• Phototropism- a plant’s
response to light
• Geotropism- a plant’s
response to gravity
Life Spans of Angiosperms
• Annual- flowers that complete
their life cycle in one year (only
live for one year)
• Examples- marigolds,
petunias
• Biennial- flowers that complete
their life cycle in two years (only
live for two years)
• Examples- Celery, foxgloves
• Perennials- flowers that live for
more than two years
• Example- Purple Coneflower,
Maple tree
