2. What characteristics do all living things share?

3. Characteristics of Life - The Big Ideas…
Made of Cells
Reproduce (sexually or asexually)
Have DNA (genetic information)
Grow & Develop
Need/Use Energy (metabolism)
Respond to Environment
Maintain Homeostasis (constant internal environment)
Change Over Time (evolve)
Form Systems & Have Systems (related parts)
Structure & Function are Related

4. Which kingdoms have the most complex organisms?
Which kingdoms have the most specialized cells?
Which kingdoms are dependent upon systems?

7. What are the major parts of a plant?

8. Four main groups of Plant Kingdom
Mosses and their relatives (Bryophytes)
Ferns and their relatives
Cone-bearing plants (Gymnosperms)
Flowering plants (Angiosperms)
Non Vascular
Vascular

10. Vascular Tissue: A Transport System
What is this picture showing?
What are their functions?
How do you think this relates to plants?

11. Stem / Transport: Vascular Plants
Being able to transport (move) water with vascular tissue was probably the greatest evolutionary development of the plant kingdom.

12. Vascular System
The first vascular plants had a new type of cell that was specialized to conduct water.
Tracheids – cells that allow water to move through a plant more efficiently than by diffusion alone

13. Vascular System
Vascular tissue transports water and minerals up the stem of plants.
Vascular tissue uses the force of capillary action in order to move the water and minerals.
Cohesion of water molecules (water is sticky)
Capillary Action Time Lapse

14. Vascular Tissue
Tracheids are the key cells which make up xylem and phloem
Xylem – carries water upward from the roots to every part of a plant.
Phloem – transports solutions of nutrients produced by photosynthesis.
Both forms of xylem and phloem can move fluids through the plant body, even against the force of gravity.
Plant Capillary Action/Transpiration
Water Transport/Transpiration

15. System: Respiration
Do plants breathe? If so, where does most of the respiration take place?

16. Leaf / Respiration Required for photosynthesis CO2 in / O2 & H2O out
Stomata (Guard Cells) - specialized cell structure found in leaf to allow for gas exchange

17. Response / Hormones Hormones regulate growth & response
Auxin – hormone that triggers growth in plants
Tropism (growth because of a stimulus)
Phototropism (light) Phototropism time lapse Video 2
Gravitropism/Geotropism (gravity)
Hydrotropism (water)
Thigmotropism (touch)
Tropisms in Plants
Plant Tropism #2

18. System of Defense Dermal tissue
Cuticle – waxy covering on outside of leaves to prevent water loss / protective coating
Epidermis – keeps outside out and inside in

19. Nutrient Absorption and Transport - Plants
Roots – absorb nutrients & minerals from the soil
Xylem – transports water
Phloem - transports food
