22-1 Introduction to Plants
Overview of the Plant Kingdom
 Plants
are divided into four groups based on
these features:
 water-conducting tissues
 seeds
 Flowers
 Plants
are also classified by other features,
including reproductive structures and body plan.
22-1 Introduction to Plants
Overview of the Plant Kingdom
Four Main Groups of Land Plants
•Bryophytes – mosses and their relatives
•Pterophytes – ferns and their relatives
•Gymnosperms – (naked seeds) cone bearing
•Angiosperms – flowering plants

The First Plants

The first true plants
were dependent on
water to complete
their life cycles,
similar to today’s
mosses in that they
were simple in
structure and grew
close to the ground.
Cooksonia, a vascular plant 400 million years old

22-2 Bryophytes (mosses)
Nonvascular plants
 Use spores to reproduce (seedless)


Use osmosis to draw up water

 Gametophyte is the dominant generation

Life Cycle of Bryophytes

During at least one stage of their life
cycle, bryophytes produce sperm that
must swim through water to reach eggs
of other individuals.

Therefore, they must live in places
where there is rainfall or dew for at
least part of the year

Human Uses of Mosses
1. Bryophytes were world’s only plants for 100 million years.
2. Peat bogs are made mostly of moss called
sphagnum. They contain 400 billion tons of carbon and cut
down the amount of greenhouse gases. Peat is harvested,
dried, and used as a fuel.
3. Sphagnum is harvested for use as a soil conditioner and
plant packing material.

vascular tissues,
strong roots,
underground
stems called
rhizomes,
and leaves
called fronds.

Life Cycle of Ferns
•Sporophyte is dominant stage
(bryophytes- dominant gametophyte)

spores; no seeds present

plants also evolved the ability
to produce lignin, a substance that
makes cell walls rigid.
 The
presence of lignin allows vascular
plants to grow upright and tall

22-4 Seed Plants
Seed plants are the
most dominant group
of photosynthetic
organisms on land.
22-4 Seed Plants
Seed plants are divided into two groups:
Gymnosperms
bear seeds directly on
the surfaces of cones.
Angiosperms,
or flowering plants, bear
seeds within a layer of tissue that
protects the seed.
22-4 Seed Plants
Gymnosperms include conifers,
cycads, ginkgoes and gnetophytes.
22-4 Seed Plants
Angiosperms include grasses, flowering
trees, shrubs, and all species of flowers.
22-4 Seed Plants
Reproduction without Water

Unlike mosses and ferns, seed plants do
not require water for fertilization of gametes.
Q: Why was this an advantage?
A: They can live further away from water
22-4 Seed Plants
Reproduction without Water
Adaptations that allow seed plants to
reproduce without water include:
flowers or cones
the transfer of sperm by pollination
the protection of embryos in seeds
22-4 Seed Plants

Cones - seed bearing structure for gymnosperms

Flowers - seed bearing structure of angiosperms

22-4 Seed Plants
Evolution of Seeds Plants

Over a period of millions of years, continents
became much drier, making it harder for
seedless plants to survive and reproduce.

For that reason, many moss and fern species
became extinct. They were replaced by seed
plants with adaptations that equipped them to
deal with drier conditions.
22-4 Seed Plants
Gynosperms – Cone Bearers
 Cone
plants - oldest seed plants
 Bear
their seeds directly on the
surfaces of cones

adaptations?
A: They attract animals that pollinate them
22-5 Angiosperms – Flowering Plants
Flowers and Fruits

living plant species
reproduce with
flowers.
22-5 Angiosperms – Flowering Plants
22-5 Angiosperms – Flowering Plants
Flowers and Fruits
 Flowers
contain ovaries, which
surround and protect the seeds
 After
pollination, the ovary develops
into a fruit, which protects the seed
and aids in its dispersal.

Fruit
 Ripened
ovary
 thick
wall
of tissue

surrounds
the seed

Diversity of Angiosperms
 The
angiosperms are an incredibly
diverse group. There are many ways
of categorizing these plants.
 Monocot
vs. Dicot
 Woody vs. Herbaceous
 Annual vs. Biennial vs. Perennial
22-5 Angiosperms – Flowering Plants
Monocots vs. Dicots
 Cotyledons
– “seed leafs” in the embryo.

Ex. Maple trees-woody stem
Chapter 22 Review
1. Bryophytes – liverworts, hornworts, mosses
- Bryophytes have no vascular tissues.
- Bryophytes live in damp/moist environments and are small
so they don’t need vascular tissue. They are sometimes called
non-vascular plants.
-Gametophyte is the dominant recognizable stage in the life
cycle of bryophytes (does most of the plant’s photosynthesis)
- The rest three groups are all vascular plants.
- Vascular plants have cells that are joined to produce
tubes that transport water and nutrients throughout the
plant. Vascular plants do not rely on water for reproduction
Chapter 22 Review
The vascular plants are, in order of their evolution:
2. Pteridophytes – ferns, horsetails, lycophytes
a. seedless plants
3. Gymnosperms – conifers, ginkgo, cycads, gnetopsids
a. early seed plants
b. produce naked seeds
4. Angiosperms – flowering plants
a. seeds protected by growing in ovaries
b. majority of modern plants are in this group
Sporophyte is the dominant recognizable stage in the life
cycle of Vascular (do most of the plant’s photosynthesis
