PLANTS: structure and function What is a plant? Plants have eukaryotic cells with cell walls Plants carry out photosynthesis

Let’s Recap Photosynthesis: https://youtu.be/LEQqd91uWsY

How Do Plants Get Energy? Plants are producers (autotrophs) Plant leaves change light energy into energy the plant can use. (GLUCOSE) Stomata are tiny holes on the bottom of the leaf that let CO2 in and O2 out. Plant leaves change light energy into energy the plant can use. (GLUCOSE) Roots get water and minerals directly from the soil. They get sunlight, water, and CO2 The veins of a leaf bring water and minerals to the leaf from the stems and roots.

How Do Other Living Things Get Energy? All living things need energy to survive Consumer – a living thing that gets energy by eating plants and other animals

Plants: Grouped by characteristics Vascular Plants Three main parts: roots, stems and leaves 1. Shoot system = leaves + stem 2. Root system 3. Meristem = cells that divide for life of plant, can give rise to all plant structures Nonvascular Plants Simple; most grow in moist places No vascular tissues Includes bryophytes (ex: mosses) and some algae

Vascular Plants: Stems Function of stems: Support: hold leaves up to light Transport of water & food Phloem transports sugar PHLOEM = FOOD Xylem conducts water

Meristems are growth points Apical meristems are located at the top of roots and shoots Lateral meristems add thickness (width) to woody plants Meristem = Mitosis

Vascular Plants: Roots Roots can be different sizes: Fibrous and tap roots Storage roots: Ex.: beets, carrots, sweet potatoes and turnips Roots have different functions: Anchoring the plant, taking in water and minerals, and store food.

Vascular Plants: Leaves Leaves come in variety of shapes and sizes Leaves are arranged in different ways

Vascular Plants: Leaves Functions: Exposes surface to sunlight Major site of photosynthesis Conserves water Provides for gas exchange Stomata= opening in the leaf for gas exchange, water evaporation

Transports water and sugar to stem and roots Conserves water Photosynthesis Transports water and sugar to stem and roots Structures of the Leaf

Three Types of Plant Tissues Vascular Tissue (Xylem & phloem) Transport Support Ground Tissue Synthesis of Sugars Storage Dermal Tissue Protection

PLANT TROPISM Plant’s ability to respond to their environment Growth responses that result in curvature of plant organs towards or away from stimuli.

PLANT TROPISM Gravitropism– response to gravity; roots have positive geotropism; stems have negative geotropism Video tschwartz

PLANT TROPISM Phototropism– response to light (leaves) Video Hydrotropism– response to water (roots) tschwartz

Plant Reproduction

Flowering Plant Reproduction Pollen grains Ovule Flower Meiosis Mitosis Flowers are modified leaves, specialized for reproduction. Flower parts undergo meiosis to produce haploid cells. “half" pollen grain (sperm cell) ovule (contains egg cell)

A Complete Flower Has Both Male and Female Parts Pistil – FEMALE part of a flower that brings pollen to eggs that grow into seeds Stamen – MALE part of a flower that makes pollen (sperm) Pollen – tiny grains(MALE gametes) that make seeds when combined with a flower’s egg

Encloses and Protects Bud Male part Produces pollen Stamen Anther Attracts pollinator Filament Pistil Stigma Petal Style Sepal Ovary Encloses and Protects Bud Female part Produces egg

The birds and the bees of plant reproduction! Pollination- the movement of pollen from a stamen to a pistil (aka male part to female part!) Birds, bees, butterflies, or other insects may carry pollen from one flower to another flower or the same flower.

How Fertilization Occurs Fertilization – the combination of sperm from a pollen with an egg to form a seed (embryo). When a pollen grain reaches a pistil, it grows a thin tube to the ovary. Sperm from the pollen combines with an egg, and a seed forms.

After fertilization, the ovary gets larger as seeds form inside it. The enlarged ovary becomes the fruit. Corn, beans, and peas are seeds and apples, tomatoes, and cucumber are fruits! Plant Reproduction video How Seeds & Fruits Form
