1. Bell-Ringer
Draw the flower
& label its parts.

2. The Plant Kingdom

3. Kingdom Plantae Cell type:
Cellular organization: Mode of nutrition: Special structures:
Cellular/Tissue/Organs:
Reproduction:
Eukaryotic
Multicellular
All autotrophic – photosynthesis using pigments chlorophyll a & b
Cell walls of cellulose
Chloroplasts
Asexually & sexually (Alternation of generations)

4. Alternation of Generations

5. A plant needs… Sunlight Water Nutrients like Nitrogen & Phosphorus
Carbon dioxide
Oxygen
A way to transport materials

6. Differentiate between vascular and nonvascular plants Define vascular tissue.

7. Relate the structure of plant tissue to its function: epidermal, ground, & vascular

8. Vascular tissue
-specialized tissue for transporting water and nutrients through the plant Made up of two cell types:
Xylem – transports water upward from the ground to the rest of the plant
Phloem –transports the food produced by photosynthesis to the rest of the plant
Enables the construction of:
Roots
Stems
Leaves

9. Ground tissue –everything between the epidermal and vascular tissue
Epidermal tissue –the “skin” of the plant; the outermost layer of cells
Cuticle – thick waxy layer that protects against injury and water loss
Under leaves, stomata and guard cells
In roots, root hair cells
Sometimes trichomes –fuzzy projections
Ground tissue –everything between the epidermal and vascular tissue
Parenchyma – pg 582
Collenchyma – pg 582
Sclerenchyma – pg 582

10. Describe the structure and function of the major parts of a plant: roots, stems, leaves, & flowers

11. Major structures: Roots –anchor the plant and absorb water & nutrients
Stems –support system for plant body with transport ability & sometimes a defense to protect the plant
Leaves –plant’s photosynthetic systems; make food for the plant

12. Nonvascular plants = Bryophytes
Depend on water for reproduction
Low-growing plants (why?) in moist, shaded areas
Rhizoids (similar to roots)
Alt. of Gen. (pg 558)
Examples: Mosses, liverworts, & hornworts

13. Seedless vascular plants
Have roots, stems, and leaves
No seeds (reproduce through alt. of gen. through spores)
Examples: Horsetails, club mosses, ferns

14. Seed vascular plants: Differentiate among gymnosperms and angiosperms

15. Gymnosperm “Naked seed”
Bear seeds directly on surfaces of cones; no protective covering
Examples: Gnetophytes, Cycads, Ginkgoes, Conifers

16. Angiosperm “Covered seed”
Developed unique reproductive organs called flowers
After pollination, forms a fruit – wall of protective tissue around a seed

17. Evaluate the medical and economic importance of plants!

18. 1. Name three needs of plants.

19. 2. Describe two functions of a plant’s roots.

20. 3. Stems are made up of what two things that make up vascular tissue?

21. 4. Leaves perform what essential process?

22. 5. Give an example of a bryophyte.

23. 6. Give an example of a gymnosperm.

24. 7. Give an example of an angiosperm.

25. 8. What is the main difference between gymnosperms & angiosperms?

26. 9. Give an example of how plants contribute to the economy.

27. 10. List the 8 levels of classification in taxonomy.
