Vascular Seed Plants
Characteristics
Vascular tissue
Provide support
carry water and other nutrients
Two Types
Phloem - transports food made in leaves
Xylem – transports water and minerals from roots
Use Pollen and Seeds to Reproduce
Pollen – tiny structures that become sperm cells (don’t need water)
Seeds – fertilized eggs that contain a young plant in a protective covering

4. Types of Seed Plants Gymnosperms Angiosperms
Seed plants that produce “naked’ seeds – NO FRUIT
Have cones
Angiosperms
Seed plants that produce seeds that are enclosed in fruit (covered seeds)
Have flowers

Class Opener- Using your book or notes answer the following on your paper:
List and describe 5 things plants must do to survive on land.
Where do plants living on land get the water and nutrients they need?
Why can a plant on land lose water and dry out?

6. Answers: Adaptations for living on land:
Plants must have a way to obtain water and nutrients from the soil.
Plants must have a way to retain water (cuticle) so that they don’t dry out due to evaporation.
Plants must have a way to transport nutrients from one part of their bodies to another part (vascular tissue).
Plants must be able to support their own body weight (rigid cell walls and vascular tissue).
Plants must be able to reproduce without water.

7. Answers Continued:
Plants living on land get their water and nutrients from soil.
When there is more water in the plant than in the air, the water leaves the plant and enters the air (evaporation) .The waxy, waterproof layer called the cuticle helps prevent this.

8. In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree; In cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free! In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that waits to be, Unrevealed until its season, something that is yet to see.
What does this mean to you? How does this relate to what we are learning about?

9. Questions
1. What is a flower? A: The reproductive part of a plant
2. What are sunflower seeds? A: The outer casing of the seed is known as the pericarp (peri = around) (carp = The part of a fruit formed from the wall of the ripened ovary)
The seeds are the fruit of the plant . They are high in vitamin E.
3. Do all animals help carry pollen from flower to flower?
A: Make a list of as many animals that might fit into this category….

Seeds to plants
Inside seeds are partially developed plants. If seeds land where conditions are good, the plant sprouts and the seed starts to grow.
Seed Dispersal
Other organisms
Fruit gets eaten by animals
Barbs and thistles stick to animal’s coat
Water
Oceans, lakes, rivers move seeds from one area to another
Wind
Lightweight seeds are carried to new locations
Tossing
Some plants eject their seeds in a forceful way to scatter them in many directions

14. Parts of a land Plant

15. Roots Stems anchor a plant in the ground
absorb nutrients and water from the soil
sometimes store food
Stems
The stem carries substances between the plant’s roots and leaves.
Provides support for the plant and holds up the leaves so they are exposed to the sun.

16. Leaves 6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy  C6H12O6 + 6O2
Copy onto heading 10 and return this to the folder. Finish all of heading 10 (use pages in the book).
Leaves
Capture sunlight and perform photosynthesis
Structure
cuticle – top layer of leaf that prevents water loss
surface cells – contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis
lower leaf – contains veins which are made of phloem and xylem
stomata – tiny pores that allow in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen and water vapor
Photosynthesis
6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy  C6H12O6 + 6O2
