3
Does not involve sex cells One organism is producing offspring Most plants have this type of reproduction Used by plants who do not produce seeds Plants can be grown from a leaf or stem the plant parts are placed into water to grow new roots Ex: potatoes, grasses
4
Fertilization needs to occur Plants get help from water, wind and insects Female reproductive organs produce eggs Male reproductive organs produce sperm Some species have both organs on the same plant and can usually reproduce by itself Some plants have sex organs on separate plants and need to be near one another for fertilization to occur
7
Nonvascular plants do not produce seeds You can grow these plants from spores Sporophtye stage produces haploid spore in spore cases These spores can grow into plants, which produce sex cells Sporophtye stage of nonvascular plants is very short
8
Create flow chart
9
Nonvascular plants can also reproduce asexually
11
Fern leaves are called fronds Have an underground stem called a rhizome Roots that anchor plant and absorb nutrients and water grow from the rhizome Fern sporophytes make their own food Spores produced in sori-located on fronds Gametophyte plant is called a prothallus, which also makes its own food Can also reproduce asexually
12
Rhizomes grow to form branches New fronds and roots develop from each branch The new rhizome can be separated and grow on its own Create flow chart of life cycle
14
Pollen grains have a water-resistant covering and contains gametophyte parts Sperm can be produced by these parts, which do not need to swim to the female part of the plant They are carried by pollinators, such as wind, gravity, wind, water or animals Transfer of pollen to the female part is called pollination
15
When the pollen grain reaches the female part, sperm and a pollen tube are produced The sperm travels through the tube Fertilization occurs
16
Following fertilization, the female part develops into a seed Seeds include an embryo, stored food and a protective seed coating The embryo grows into a plant when it is planted Stored food provides energy to the embryo when it starts to grow Seeds develop differently in gymnosperms and angiosperms
18
Cones are the reproductive structures All gymnosperms have different cones Ex of gymnosperms: pines, firs, cedars, cycads and ginkgoes Pine tree produces male and female cones Gametophyte structures produced in cones Scale of a female cone has two ovules where eggs are produced Pollen grains are produced in the male cone Male cones release pollen grains in the spring
19
Wings on the pollen grain help carry it to the female cone Growth of pollen tube and sperm, and fertilization can take up to 15 months Zygote grows into an embryo and a seed develops It can take 2-3 for seeds to develop and be released from the female cones Each seed grows into a new pine sporophyte
21
The sporophyte plant produces flowers Flowers are reproductive organs They contain contain gametophyte structures that produce the sperm or egg for sexual reproduction
22
4 main parts-petals, sepals, stamen and pistil 1. Petals Are the colorful parts of the flower 2. Sepals are usually small, green, leaf-like parts Some are large and colorful like the flower Form the outside of the flower bud
23
3. Stamen Male reproductive organ Made up of an anther and the filament Pollen grain form inside the anther by meiosis Sperm develops in each pollen grain 4. Pistil Female reproductive organ made up of stigma, style, ovary, ovule Stigma is sticky and is where pollen grains land style-sperm travels down
24
Ovary-swollen base of the pistil where ovules are formed Ovules-produce gametophyte structures, which produce eggs Pollinators of Flowers Large, bright flowers-insects and other animals An animal picks up pollen as it eats the flower, nectar or its pollen The pollen is then spread to other flowers the animal visits Other plants and animals depend on wind, rain or gravity
25
After pollination and fertilization seeds develop Pollination happens when pollen grains land on the sticky stigma Pollen tube grows down through the style and enters the ovary Sperm travels down the tube and fertilizes the egg Zygote forms and grows into an embryo
27
Most seeds grow only when they are placed on or in soil Gravity aids most seed into reaching the soil Wind dispersal helps seed plants too Small seeds become airborne when they are released by the plant Some have wing-like structures that allow the seed to move in the wind currents
28
Animals help disperse seeds Some seeds are eaten with fruits and pass through the animal’s digestive track to reach the soil Animals can also store or bury seeds Seeds can also attach to fur, feathers and clothing, which disperses them Water is another way seeds are dispersed Rain drops can knock seeds out of the fruit Seeds travel great distances by flowing water
29
Is the growth of a plant from a seed Some seeds take a few days to grow and others take weeks or months Seeds can not germinate without the right environmental conditions Begins when seed tissue absorbs water causing the seed coat to break open Energy is released from the stored food to help it grow
