Botany = the study of plants
2
Plant Cell Review
3
Plant Cells and Functions
4
Plant Evolution Photosynthetic bacteria - as early as 1.5 BYA
All early plants were heavily dependent on water. Photosynthetic bacteria - as early as 1.5 BYA (billion years ago) Algae – around 750 MYA to 1 BYA (million years ago) Mosses and ferns Earliest relatives Cooksonia – 470 MYA
5
Nonvascular plants have no vessels, no roots, no stems or leaves. Examples: Mosses & Liverworts
6
Plant Adaptations to Land
As plants became larger and moved farther inland they had to adapt. Cuticle: A waxy outer covering that prevents water loss and provides protection Stomata: Openings on leaves that allow gas exchange; CO2 in and O2 out Reproduction: Spores vs. Seeds Vascular Tissue: Transport tissues; move water and nutrients to all parts of a plant
7
Vascular Tissue Xylem: transports water up
Phloem: transports food & nutrients down
8
Xylem Phloem
9
Seedless Vascular plants
have simple vessels, roots, stems and leaves but still reproduce using spores Examples: Club Mosses & Ferns
10
Seed Vascular plants have vessels, roots, stems and leaves. Reproduce using seeds. Examples: trees, bushes, flowers, grass
11
Parts of the Plant Roots
water and minerals are absorbed (taproots vs fibrous roots) also used to anchor the plant movement of water up to leaves is influenced by TRANSPIRATION, a process that moves water upwards
13
Stem Support plant transports water and nutrients
Turgor pressure: the pressure inside a cell that is exerted by water Two types of stems: herbaceous and woody
14
A celery stalk soaked in food coloring will absorb the food coloring, you can see the xylem.
15
Leaves Where photosynthesis takes place; more specifically in the chloroplast Photosynthesis Equation:
16
Leaf Structure
17
Leaf Modification 1. Spines: 2. Color: 3. Shape:
18
How Plants Grow Germination occurs when a seed sprouts (usually caused by changes of temperature and moisture) Monocots have 1 seed leaf (cotyledon), Dicots have 2 seed leaves
19
Perennials - live several years, and reproduce many times, woody plants are perennials
Annuals - a plant that completes its life cycle in one growing season (grows, flowers, reproduces and then dies) Biennials - takes two growing seasons to complete, it reproduces in the second growing season
20
PRIMARY GROWTH makes a plant taller at roots and stems; meristematic tissue
SECONDARY GROWTH makes a plant wider, or adds woody tissue; vasular cambium tissue
21
Tree Rings tell the age of a tree, each ring represents a growing season. The photo shows a tree who has been through four growing seasons. The lighter thinner rings are winter periods. VASCULAR CAMBIUM: area of the tree that makes more xylem and phloem and forms the annual rings
22
Gymnosperms -"naked seeds" -cone bearing plants (seeds grow on cones)
-needle like leaves -usually stay green year round -wind pollinated Examples: pine trees & evergreens
23
Angiosperms -flowering plants -seeds are enclosed in a fruit
-most are pollinated by birds & bees -have finite growing seasons Examples: grasses, tulips, oaks, dandelions
24
Flowering Plants are divided into two main groups:
25
Monocots
26
Dicots
27
Flower /Pistil
28
Plant Reproduction Pollen is produced by the stamen, which is carried by wind or pollinators to the stigma of another flower. Once the ovules are fertilized, they develop into seeds and the ovary of the flower becomes the FRUIT
30
Pollen Grains Pollen contains plant sperm, and fills the air during the springtime, which often causes seasonal allergies.
31
Asexual Reproduction Many plants can make clones of themselves; this is called VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION
32
Plant Hormones Auxin – makes roots form and buds grow, important in phototrophic responses; also effects when fruit are dropped from a plant Gibberellin – growth hormone; effects height of the plant, seed growth, and stimulates cell division Ethylene – gaseous hormone; effects rippening of fruit Cytokines – effects the rate of cell division; influenced by presence of auxins
33
Plant Responses Nastic Response – a response that causes movement but is independ of the direction of the stimulus Ex: flowers opening and closing from day to night to conserve heat; Mimosa plant responds to touch
34
Plant Responses Tropic Response – a plants growth response to a stimuli (A positive response is towards the stimulus.) (copy the information from Table 4 into your notes)
