1. PLANTS By Erin Martin, Celine Li and Adrienne Favorito

2. Alternation of Generations

3. multicellular diploid (sporophyte) multicellular haploid (gametophyte)

4. Bryophytes Dominant gametophyte generation

5. Double fertilization One sperm fertilizes the egg  zygote One sperm fertilizes 2 polar nuclei  endosperm which provides the zygote with nutrients

6. Types of cells Parenchyma- play a role in storage, secretion and photosynthesis in cells Sclerenchyma- protect seeds and support the plants Collenchyma- provide flexible and mechanical support; found in stems and leaves

7. Growth Primary- length of the plant, (apical meristem) Secondary- width of the plant (lateral meristem) - Vascular Cambium: gives rise to secondary xylem and phloem

8. Parts of the seed Endosperm/ cotyledon- nutrients for seed before it can undergo photosynthesis Plumule  leaves hypocotyl  stem Radicle  root Seedcoat protects embryo from environment

9. Leaf Structure and Function Waxy cuticle Guard cells/ stoma - gas exchange -CAM Cork Cambium Palisade mesophyll Spongy mesophyll
