1. Introduction to Kingdom Plantae
Kingdom Plantae - complex, multi-cellular, autotrophic, eukaryotic organisms that are usually green and use photosynthesis to make sugar
BrainPop

2. PLANT CHARACTERISTICS
1. Multicellular Organisms
2. Cells
Eukaryotic – Has a Nucleus
- Surrounded by a Cell Wall
3. Producers (Autotrophic)
Make their own food through Photosynthesis

4. Origin of Plants
Similarities between modern green algae and plants suggest that both may have originated from an ancient species of green algae.

5. Photosynthesis BrainPop - Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis - the process by which a plant takes in carbon dioxide and water and in the presence of sunlight makes sugar and oxygen

6. Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight  Sugars + Oxygen
Photosynthesis
Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight  Sugars + Oxygen
Series of chemical reactions that use energy from the Sun to produce Sugars
Occurs in the Chloroplast
-Chlorophyll - the green pigment IN chloroplasts
where photosynthesis occurs
Photosynthesis is important because this is how plants make their food and get their energy

7. Plants also release energy through cellular respiration (mitochondria)

8. *The Root and Shoot Systems are Organ Systems*
Plant Systems
1. Root System - Roots
-Brings in water and nutrients
2. Shoot System – Stems and Leaves
-Makes energy-rich materials
-Moves material up and down through
the plant
*The Root and Shoot Systems are Organ Systems*

9. Nonvascular Plants Have no “pipes” to transport water and nutrients.
They depend on diffusion and osmosis to move materials from one part of the plant to another.
Ex. Mosses and liverworts

10. Vascular Plants
Have tissues that deliver needed materials throughout a plant, much as pipes deliver water to faucets in your home.
Two groups
Plants that produce seeds
Plants that do not produce seeds
ferns, horsetails, and club mosses

11. Plants that produce seeds - 2 Groups BrainPop - Seed Plants BrainPop - Seedless Plants
Gymnosperms
Non-flowering plants
Angiosperms
Flowering plants

13. asexually and sexually BrainPop - Pollination
Reproduction
Plants reproduce both
asexually and sexually
BrainPop - Pollination

14. Asexual Reproduction
In asexual reproduction, there is only one parent and all offspring are identical to the parent

15. Sexual Reproduction
In sexual reproduction, there are two parents and the offspring inherit traits from each parent
Pollen carries the sperm in sexual reproduction

16. Plant life begins with a CELL:

17. A group of similar cells working together make a TISSUE:

18. A combination of two or more tissues that work together make an: ORGAN

19. A group of organs working together make an: ORGAN SYSTEM

20. Organ systems working together to create something that can live on its own is an: ORGANISM

21. Plants role in an Ecosystem
Plants are producers – they are the first biotic factor in all land-based food chains sun plant  worm  turtle  eagle (abiotic) (biotic) (biotic) (biotic) (biotic) BrainPop

Which statement about
photosynthesis and respiration is
true?
