1. The Plant Kingdom SOL 5.5: Kingdoms of Living Things

2. The Plant Kingdom Cell Number: Multicellular with specialized tissues Cell Type: Eukaryotic Plant Cells (Chloroplast and Cell Wall made of Cellulose Carbohydrates) Feeding: Photosynthetic autotrophs Reproduction: Sexual with seeds

3. Plant Classification Plants evolved from green algae They are first classified as vascular and non-vascular

4. Non-Vascular plants that do not have veins to carry water and food through the plant Have spores instead of seeds Examples: –mossesmosses

5. Non-Vascular Spore: the reproductive cell of a nonvascular plant SPORES!

6. Non-Vascular Moss

7. Non-Vascular Liverwort

8. Non-Vascular Fern

9. Non-Vascular Hornwort

10. Vascular Plants that have veins to carry water and food through the plant Examples: –rosesroses

11. Vascular American dogwood tree

12. Vascular Roses

13. Vascular Grass

14. Plant Classification Vascular plants are further classified based on specific characteristics. Trees can be classified as –gymnosperm conifers (cone-bearing evergreens) Ex: pine trees –deciduous angiosperms (broad- leafed, flowering trees that lose their leaves in the fall.) Ex: apple trees

15. Plant Classification Flowering plants are categorized into two major groups –Monocots: Parallel veins and petals in multiples of 3 (draw one) Ex- Tulip –Dicots: Branching veins and petals in multiples of 4 or 5 (draw one) Ex- Rose

16. Photosynthesis Plant cells produce their own food through a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis allows plants to convert light energy into food energy. (write the equation)

17. Parts of a Flower Male Parts Female Parts Each flower has both male and female parts. Male parts produce pollen while female parts produce ovules. Pollen + Ovule = Seed. Fruits sometimes grow from the swollen ovary as a means to transport seeds.

18. Parts of a Flower Male Parts Female Parts Flowers form mutualistic symbiotic relationships with pollinators like insects and birds. Plants attract them with petals and create a nectar the pollinators eat. In return the pollinators carry pollen to other plants.

19. Plant Cell nucleus cell wall cell membrane vacuoles chloroplasts cytoplasm
