The biology of plants
3
I. The Plant Cell PS: CO 2 + organelles H2OH2OC 6 H 12 O 6 +O2O2 Light Energy RS:C 6 H 12 O 6 +O2O2 CO 2 +H2OH2O ATP Chloroplast Mitochondrion The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of respiration Glucose
4
The cell wall 1. Primary cell wall carbohydrate polysaccharide Lignin 2. Secondary cell wall Hardwoods/ softwoods
5
How a plant grows shoot root Apical meristem Zone of cell division Zone of cell division Zone of elongation Zone of elongation Zone of maturation Zone of maturation
6
II. Stems Definitions: cells, tissues, organs Shoot system Root system 1. Herbaceous dicot 2. Monocot 3. Woody 3 basic tissue patterns 3 major vegetative organs
7
herbaceous dicot tissues herbaceous dicot tissues dermal ground (cortex and pith) vascular (xylem and phloem) epidermis cuticle Vascular bundle
8
2 categories of tissues 2 categories of tissues Meristematic tissues 1. Apical meristem (1 0 growth) 3. Intercalary meristems 2. Lateral meristems (2 0 growth) a. vascular cambium: 2 0 xylem and 2 0 phloem b. cork cambium: cork
9
Apical Bud
10
Non-meristematic tissues 1. Simple tissues: one cell type 1 0 cell walls a. parenchyma b. collenchyma fibers sclerids 1 0 and 2 0 cell walls c. sclerenchyma
11
2. Complex tissues: mixed cell types Non-meristematic tissues Cork = outer bark 2 0 xylem = wood 2 0 phloem = inner bark Vascular cambium: 1 0 xylem 1 0 phloem
12
Origin of tissues Apical meristem (shoot) parenchyma collenchyma vascular cambium 2 0 xylem 2 0 phloem lots of cells cork cambium outer bark 1 0 xylem 1 0 phloem sclerenchyma
14
Wood: woody dicots and conifers Development of vascular cambium Cork cambium
15
Other features of wood Other features of wood 1. sapwood and heartwood 2. vascular rays 3. growth rings
16
Monocot stems Monocot stems
18
III. Roots Functions Absorb water and minerals Anchor Monocots versus dicots Herbaceous Root systems 1. fibrous root systems 2. tap root systems Storage Different strategies
19
Inside roots Inside roots A. Primary tissues 1. epidermis 2. cortex 3. vascular tissues 4. endodermis 5. pericycle B. Secondary tissues
20
Pericycle Pericycle
22
IV. Leaves A. Function B. Anatomy of a leaf 1. blades and petioles 2. leaf types CO 2 +H2OH2O C 6 H 12 O 6 + O2O2 light energy chloroplasts/ chlorophyll blade petiole Simple leaf Compound leaf leaflets
23
C. Leaves of grass Evolutionary pressures: fire herbivory mowing Intercalary meristems
24
D. Conifer leaves Western white pine Western redcedar Douglas fir epidermis sunken stomata thick mesophyll endodermis hypodermis Waxy cuticle
25
Inside leaves A. Cellular organization 1. epidermis 2. mesophyll: two parts a- palisade cells b- spongy cells 3. veins: phloem and xylem B. Water loss- cuticles cuticle
26
Stomata
28
Photosynthesis I. Preview of photosynthesis II. Photosynthetic reactions III. Light dependent reactions IV. Light independent reactions V. Summary of events and importance of photosynthesis 6CO 2 +6H 2 OC 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Light energy
29
Capturing of light: chlorophyll 2H 2 O 4H + + 4e - + O 2 Production of ATP Photophosphorylation ATP synthase Light Dependent Reactions
30
Light independent reactions Rubisco Glucose CO 2 Fixation

primary producers Summary of events and importance of photosynthesis PS: CO 2 + H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 Light Energy RS: C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O ATP
34
Plant reproduction I. Flowers A. Pollen grains and ovules B. Reproduction in general C. Flower parts D. Flower characteristics II. Fertilization A. Pollination B. Double fertilization III. Seeds and fruits A. Anatomy of a seed B. Seed dispersal C. Fruit formation D. Fruit types
35
I. Flowers A. Pollen grains and ovules B. Reproduction in general 7 cells, 8 nucleiovary ovules haploid (1n) versus diploid (2n) egg central cell
36
C. Flower parts (carpel) (1n) (2n) sepals/calyx /corolla peduncle
37
II. Fertilization A.Pollination 1. Definition 2. Barriers to self pollination 3. Attraction and rewards Barriers to self pollination time of maturation genetic differences nectar guides mimic high
38
A. Pollination 4. types animal self buzz wind Out crossing In breeding
39
B. Double fertilization pollen pollen tube endosperm embryo ovule
40
I. Seed germination A. Seed dormancy B. Stages in germination 1. imbibition 2. break down of starch 3. radicle, plummule, cotyledons C. Other germination requirements fire acid cold Three basic conditions 1. proper temperature 2. proper moisture 3. aeration
41
D. Early development radicle root apex shoot apex cotyledons
42
III. Seeds and fruits A. Anatomy of a seed Monocots versus dicots micropyle hilum
