Chapters 29 and 30
2
Characteristics of All Plants Multicellular Eukaryotic Photosynthetic autotrophs Alternation of generations
4
Evolutionary History Evolved from green algae Charophyceans are closest living relatives Homologous structures provide evidence: Chloroplasts Walls with cellulose Peroxisome enzymes Flagellated sperm
5
Adaptations for Land Preventing water loss Sporopollenin Walled spores produced in sporangia Cuticle Stomata
6
Adaptations for Land Obtaining light,CO2, and nutrients Apical meristems Mycorrhizae Roots & root hairs Vascular tissue Phloem Xylem Lignin
7
Adaptations for Land Defense against herbivores and microbes Chemical compounds
8
Four Main Groups of Land Plants Bryophytes Pteridophytes Gymnosperms Angiosperms
9
Bryophyta Simplest land plants- None have roots, stems, or leaves Mainly nonvascular
10
Bryophyta All have dominant gametophyte generation.
12
Bryophyta Liverworts: No stomata Hornworts: Stomata Mosses: Have stomata, and very simple vascular tissue.
13
Bryophyta Economically important Sphagnum moss, peat moss Water retention Oil spill control Fuel
14
Seedless Vascular Plants Pteridophyta (ferns & horsetails) are main group Also includes Lycophyta (club mosses)
15
Seedless Vascular Plants Sporophyte generation dominant
17
Seedless Vascular Plants Evolution of vascular tissue: Xylem Tracheids – dead, lignified Phloem Allowed increased height
18
Seedless Vascular Plants Evolution of leaves
19
Seedless Vascular Plants Evolution of roots Rhizomes
20
Seedless Vascular Plants Evolution of sporophylls Sori Strobili
22
Seedless Vascular Plants Formed first forests Eventually formed coal burned today
23
Gametophyte Evolution Further reduced in seed plants. Protected in ovules and pollen grains.
25
Evolution of Heterospory Megasporangia Microsporangia
26
Evolution of Pollen Avoided need for water Allowed greater dispersal
28
Gymnosperms “Naked” seeds Include cycads, ginkgos, gnetophytes, and conifers.
32
Angiosperms “Container Seed” Flowers Fruits 90% of all plants
33
Angiosperms
37
Coevolution: Pollinators & Flowers
38
Angiosperms Four Main Groups: Basal Angiosperms (.04%) Magnoliids (3%) Monocots (28%) Eudicots (69%)
39
Monocots vs. Dicots Cotyledons
40
Monocots vs. Dicots Leaf Venation:
41
Monocots vs. Dicots Vascular Tissue in Stems
42
Monocots vs. Dicots Roots
43
Monocots vs. Dicots Flowers
44
Angiosperms Importance: Food Lumber & Paper Medicine Oxygen
