PLANTAE

Vocabulary Autotroph: An organism that can make its own food Fertilization: Joining of a sperm and an egg cell Phloem: Vascular tubes that carry food throughout the plant Photosynthesis: the process plants use to produce glucose (food) for themselves and oxygen for the air

Vocabulary Pollination: the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma in a flower Transpiration: the releasing of excess water in the form of a gas from the plants leaves Xylem: vascular tubes that transport water and minerals throughout the plant

Characteristics Multicellular Autotrophs or ______________________ Cells have ____ _____ and _____________ Colors can be vibrant to attract insects and birds for pollination Producers Cell Wall Chloroplasts

Structure (Fill in Chart) A: Leaf B: Stem Site for photosynthesis Called food factories B: Stem Support: for the leaves; used in transport Stores food Ex: celery

Structure C: Roots (Fill in Chart) Anchor: holds plant in soil Absorbs: water and minerals Some plants store food Ex: potatoes, carrots, turnips

Flowers Pollination Pollen Fertilization _____________- transfer of ______ from the stamen to the pistil - How? Wind, insects, birds, bats, even water ___________- joining of a sperm and an egg cell, occurs after pollination Pollen Fertilization

Flowers Once the egg is fertilized, it develops into a ______ and the ovary develops into a ______ to protect the seeds Seeds are dispersed (Spread) by wind, water, gravity, and animals Seed Fruit

Seeds Structure A Seed Coat :________ covering B-Cotyledon: Stored _______ C-Embryo root D-First Leaves protective Food Germination – the development of the seed into a plant

Seeds Conifers-seeds are exposed in a _______ Angiosperms- _________ plants, seeds are protected in a ________ Cone Flowering Fruit

Ecological Succession Changes in a community that occurs over a long period of time Going from a state of grasses to a forest Example: Burning of Long Island Pine Barrens
