1. Plants are classified as either vascular or nonvascular
1) vascular plants have a collection of “pipelines” that bring water and minerals up from roots, disperse sugars down from leaves

2. -vascular tissue allows plants to grow higher off the ground
Ex: trees, sunflowers

3. 2) Nonvascular Plants -have no special “pipelines”
-they grow close to the ground or on tree trunks to absorb water/nutrients directly
-EX: mosses, liverworts

4. Vascular or Nonvascular?

5. Vascular or Nonvascular?

6. Vascular or Nonvascular?

8. Roots: store and absorb nutrients; anchor and support the plant
Overview of Plant Structure and Function
Roots: store and absorb nutrients; anchor and support the plant

9. Just above the root tip are tiny projections called “root hairs”
Shoulder Partner
Just above the root tip are tiny projections called “root hairs”
1) What do you think is the
Function of “root hairs”?
2) What does this
function have to do with
“surface area”?

10. Stems: transport nutrients between leaves and roots
Contains the vascular tissue system

11. Should Partner
Plants are made up of different tissues. Predict what the function of these tissues are based on the picture below…

12. Vascular Tissue System: Transport system
 Xylem: tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals
 Phloem: tissue that transports sugars

13. Ground Tissue: tissue system that makes up most of the plant, structure and storage

14. Dermal Tissue System: forms the outer covering of plants
 Epidermis: outer layer of cells covered by a waxy cuticle

15. Shoulder Partner
Dermis tissues can be compared to what organ on a human?

16. Shoulder Partner
Ground tissue can be compared to what organ on a human?

17. Shoulder Partner
Vascular tissue can be compared to what organ on a human?

18. STAP - stop-think-and-predict
1) What function does this structure serve in plants?

19. Leaves: primary site of photosynthesis
Stomata: leaf structures (pores) that regulate the passage of gases (carbon dioxide and oxygen) into and out of the plant
Guard Cells: surround the stoma/stomata to allow water and gases to move in & out.

20. Which of the following is the correct reactants for photosynthesis?
1234 Review
Which of the following is the correct reactants for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen
Glucose and Oxygen
Carbon Dioxide and Water
Glucose and Water

23. Plant Tissues
Meristem Tissue– at the end of the roots where new root growth occurs
Cambium – the layer between the bark and the core

25. Plant Processes Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration Transpiration
Reproduction

26. Energy Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration
6 CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 + 6O2
Cellular Respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2  6 CO2 + 6H2O

27. 1234 Review
Which statement describes how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interrelated?
A. Oxygen is produced during cellular respiration and stored during photosynthesis.
B. Carbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis.
C. Photosynthesis releases the energy that is stored during the process of cellular respiration.
D. Glucose is used during cellular respiration to produce food that is broken down during photosynthesis.

28. Transpiration – the loss of water vapor from plants through the stomata under the leaves.

29. Transpiration is the loss of water through open stomata.
Shoulder Partner
Transpiration is the loss of water through open stomata.
1. What important plant process is hindered by loss of water?
2. What structure have plants evolved to reduce the loss of water through stomata?

31. Forms of Plant Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction requires only one parent and the offspring is a clone of the parent.
Examples include budding, vegetative propagation (stolons and rhizomes), and fragmentation
Sporogenesis is reproduction through spores. It may be sexual or asexual.
Examples include ferns, moss, and fungi**.

32. Flowers-Sexual Reproduction
Plants that protect their seeds within the body of a fruit are called angiosperms (flowering plants).
Flowers are the reproductive structure of angiosperms (sexual reproduction).
Gymnosperms have naked seeds in cones

33. Flower Structure 1. Pistil 2. Stigma 3. Style 4. Ovary 5. Stamen
6. Filament
7. Anther
8. Petal
9. Sepal
10. Receptacle
11. Stem

34. Male Reproductive Structure
The stamen consists of two parts: Anther and Filament
The anther is where meiosis occurs to produce haploid pollen
The filament is a stalk that supports the anther

35. Female Reproductive Structure
The pistil consists of the stigma, style and ovary
The sticky stigma receives the pollen from the anther
The pollen grows a tube down through the style
Meiosis occurs in the ovary to produce haploid ovules
