1 A Cladogram of Plant Groups – shows evolutionary relationships of plants
Flowering plants Cone-bearing plants Ferns and their relatives Mosses and their relatives Green algae ancestor Flowers; Seeds Enclosed in Fruit Seeds Water-Conducting (Vascular) Tissue

2 The Diversity of Plants
Cone-bearing plants 760 species Flowering plants 235,000 species Ferns and their relatives 11,000 species Mosses and their relatives 15,600 species

3 Structure of a Leaf - the cuticle protects the leaf against transpiration
Veins Epidermis Palisade mesophyll Xylem Vein Phloem Spongy mesophyll Epidermis Stoma Guard cells

4 Plants are categorized as Annuals Biennials Perennials
that complete their life cycle in that complete their life cycle in that complete their life cycle in 1 growing season 2 years More than 2 years

5 Types of Plants – Seedless
Mosses (Bryophytes) Ferns (Pterophyta)

6 Cone Bearing (Gymnosperms)
Types of Plants - seeds Cone Bearing (Gymnosperms) Flowering (Angiosperm)

7 Gymnosperms vs Angiosperms
Comparing Features of Seed Plants Feature Seeds Reproduction Examples Gymnosperms Angiosperms Bear their seeds on cones Can reproduce without water; male gametophytes are contained in pollen grains; fertilization occurs by pollination Conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, gnetophytes Bear their seeds within flowers Can reproduce without water; male gametophytes are contained in pollen grains; fertilization occurs by pollination Grasses, flowering trees and shrubs, wildflowers, cultivated flowers

8 Comparison of Monocots and Dicots
Figure 22–25 Comparison of Monocots and Dicots Monocots Dicots Single cotyledon Parallel veins Floral parts often in multiples of 3 Vascular bundles scattered throughout stem Fibrous roots Two cotyledons Branched veins Floral parts often in multiples of 4 or 5 Vascular bundles arranged in a ring Taproot Seeds Leaves Flowers Stems Roots

9 Flower Functions Sexual Reproduction! Flowers are pollinated by: Wind
Insects Birds

10 Fruit – after pollination the ovary develops a wall of tissue surrounding the seed

11 FLOWER PARTS Pistil – female part of the plant
Contains the stigma, style and ovary (surround and protect the seeds)

12 FLOWER PARTS Stamen – male part of the plant
Contains the anther and filament

13 FLOWER PARTS Petals – colorful, leaflike structures
Sepals – green leaflike structures at the base of the flower

14 The structure of a flower.
Filament Anther Stigma Style Ovary Carpel Petal Sepal Ovule Stamen

17 Transpiration A B Evaporation of water molecules out of leaves.
Pull of water molecules upward from the roots.
