1. Plant Diversity

2. What is a Plant? Multicellular eukaryotes Cell walls: cellulose
Multicellular embryos
Photosynthesis
Green pigments

3. To Survive Sunlight Water and Minerals Gas Exchange
CO2  O2
Movement of Water and Nutrients

4. Bryophytes Life cycle depends on water Lack vascular tissue
Draw up water through osmosis
Mosses, Liverworts, & Hornworts
Gametophyte is the dominant stage

5. Seedless Vascular Plants
Vascular Tissue move fluids throughout the plant
xylem & phloem
Club Mosses, Horsetails, & Ferns
Ferns: diploid sporphyte is the dominant stage

6. Gynosperms: Seed Plants
Reproduce in areas without water
Flowers or Cones
Pollination: transfer of sperm
Seeds: protect the embryo
Gnetophytes, Cycads, Ginkgoes, & Conifers

7. Angiosperms – Flowering Plants
Flowers: unique reproductive organs
Ovaries – surround & protect the seed
Cotyledons - # seed leaves
Monocot – 1 seed leaf
Dicot – 2 seed leaves
Life Spans: annual, biennial, perennial

8. Carnivorous Plants
