1 Chapter 23 Introduction to Plants 1

2 1. Autotrophs 2. Multicellular 3. Eukaryotes 4. Cell Wall is made out of Cellulose 2

3 1. Bryophytes-Mosses (Seedless, Non-Vascular) 2. Seedless vascular plants- Ferns 3. Gymnosperms- Evergreens (Pine Trees) 4. Angiosperms-Flowering plants 3

4  Chemical Equation: ◦ CO 2 + H 2 O  C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2  Word Equation: ◦ Carbon Dioxide + Water  Glucose + Oxygen Sunlight 4

5  The common ancestor of ALL plants is thought to be Green Algae  In the early evolution of plants, they made the transition from aquatic to land environments 5

6  Mycorrhizae is a mutualistic relationship between plants and fungi to help a plant absorb water from the soil.  This relationship helped plants transition to land. 6

7  Almost all plants have a cuticle covering their leaves and stems to prevent water loss  The cuticle is waxy (lots of lipids) and holds water in  The cuticle is also clear to let sunlight in for photosynthesis 7

8 8

9  An alternation between two distinct forms or generations that reproduce differently  One generation is haploid and reproduces sexually  The other generation is diploid and reproduces asexually 9

10 By definition, all plants alternate generations Gametophyte n=haploid Sporophyte 2n=diploid 10

11 Notice that the more advanced plants have a dominant Sporophyte and the less advanced plants have a more dominant Gametophyte 11

12 Multicellular diploid organism (2n) Unicellular haploid cells (n) meiosis Unicellular diploid zygote (2n) mitosis (spores) Multicellular haploid organism (n) mitosis Unicellular haploid gametes (n) fertilization sporophyte gametophyte mitosis 12

13 Bryophytes Green algae Seedless vascular plants Gymnosperms Angiosperms Evolution of specialized cells / tissue Evolution of cuticle 13

14  Bryophytes  Example: Moss 14

15 15

16  They are small and low to the ground because they do not have vascular tissue  Found only in damp, moist areas on land ◦ 1) Leaves must absorb water for photosynthesis ◦ 2) Sperm swims through water to reach egg in gametophyte 16

17 gametophyte sporophyte 17

18 Moss Life Cycle 18

19 Bryophytes Green algae Seedless vascular plants Gymnosperms Angiosperms Evolution of specialized cells / tissue Evolution of cuticle Evolution of vascular tissue 19

20  Example: Ferns 20

21 21

22  Vascular Tissue ◦ Set of tubes that transport materials around plant ◦ Allows plants to grow taller ◦ Water travels up through Xylem ◦ Sugar/Food travels throughout in Phloem 22

23 23

24  Still must live in moist areas  Sporophyte grows successfully with vascular tissue  But sperm must still swim to egg in tiny gametophyte 24

25 25

26 26

27 Fern Life Cycle 27

28 Bryophytes Green algae Seedless vascular plants Gymnosperms Angiosperms Evolution of specialized cells / tissue Evolution of cuticle Evolution of vascular tissue Evolution of pollen grains / seeds 28

29  Gymnosperms/Angiosperms  Example: Pine Trees or Flowers 29

30  Examples: Spruce Tree, Fir Tree, Pine Tree 30

31  Think cones (any conifer like pine trees) female ovary male pollen cone 31

32 tiny gametophyte inside cone sporophyte Sporophyte Dominates 32

33  Release a lot, hope some pollinate  (Meanwhile, irritating everyone else)  Pollen is the male sperm in Gymnosperms and Angiosperms 33

34  Seeds  Pollen Grains 34

35  Tough coat protects newly fertilized embryo  Also contains supply of food (endosperm) to survive during dormancy period  A seed in a gymnosperm is inside the cone 35

36 36

37  Plants try to disperse offspring far away so they have a higher chance of survival.  Dispersal of seeds prevents competition for water, nutrients, light, and living space. Seed Dispersal 37

38 38

39  Dispersal by wind – wing-like structures, parachute-like structures 39

40  Dispersal by animals – fruits have hooks that cling on animals fur, other fruits provide food for animals 40

41  Seeds dispersal is completed by birds, small animals, wind, and water  The tough, fibrous outer covering of a coconut provides protection as well as a floatation device 41

42  Hard covering around sperm, light weight allows travel by wind  Removes water requirement for fertilization 42

43  At the very end when pollen lands on another plant of the same species  Pollen tube connects to ovary, sperm swim to egg 43

44 Bryophytes Green algae Seedless vascular plants Gymnosperms Angiosperms Evolution of specialized cells / tissue Evolution of cuticle Evolution of vascular tissue Evolution of pollen grains / seeds Evolution of flowers / fruits 44

45  Think flowers  Most diverse plant group 45

46  Flowers ◦ Adapted for pollination by animals ◦ Attract animals to help carry pollen to the next flower ◦ Color or scent attractors guide animals to obtain sugar from plant ◦ Some angiosperms still wind pollinate (grass) 46

47 47

48 48

49 49  Monocots include: grasses, corn, rice, oats, wheat, orchids, lilies and palms  Dicots include: shrubs, trees (except conifers) wild flowers and some garden flowers

50 50

51 51

52 52

53 53

54  Monocot-pedals in groups of three or multiples of three  Dicots-pedals in groups of 4s or 5s 54

55 Sepals protect the flower bud from insect damage and dryness The color, scent, and nectar of flowers attracts insects, bats, and birds These animals help to transfer the pollen from the anthers of one flower to the stigma of other flowers- called pollination 55

56 tiny gametophyte inside bottom of flower rest of plant = sporophyte Sporophyte Dominates 56

57 The Pollen grains are transferred to the Stigma where the pollen grain produces a Pollen tube The pollen tube grows down the style into the ovary where it fuses its nuclei with the nuclei of the ovule The fertilized ovule becomes a seed and the ovary develops into the fruit of the plant 57

58 58

59 59

60  Typically collects sugar to attract animals  Seeds survive animal digestive system, pooped out far away from parent (and with free fertilizer!)  Some are not eaten by animals, just help wind carry seed ◦ Example: dandelion 60

61 Bryophytes Green algae Seedless vascular plants Gymnosperms Angiosperms Evolution of specialized cells / tissue Evolution of cuticle Evolution of vascular tissue Evolution of pollen grains / seeds Evolution of flowers / fruits 61

62  Plants can also reproduce asexually  Vegetative reproduction is faster than sexual reproduction.  Vegetative reproduction is where many plant parts can regrow to make a whole new organism when separated. ◦ Examples: Ivy or Potato 62

63  A division of seed plants that have only one living species  The leaves of the plant are fan shaped  The ginkgo is the oldest tree in the world, once thought to be extinct  Ginkgo’s are the lone survivor of a "family that existed more than 200 million years ago" and kept company with the dinosaurs 63

64 64

65  The male trees are preferred because female trees bear a fruit which, after dropping, emits a foul odor. The fruit is about the size of a cherry tomato  Roasted nuts from Ginkgo biloba trees have long been considered a delicacy in their native China.  Treatment for short-term memory loss is just one of many medicinal uses for the extract derived from the leaves of Ginkgo biloba trees. 65
