1
Terrestrial Plant Anatomy
2
Plants moved from water to land but there were challenges along the way… Challenge Adaptation Getting water and minerals into the plant Roots
3
Fibrous root Taproot
4
Major Functions of Absorption Transport of materials Storage of materials Anchorage
5
Challenge Adaptation Getting water and minerals into the plant Roots Terrestrial Plant Adaptations Moving water and food within the plant Vascular tissue
6
Found in roots, stems and leaves of vascular plants Vascular tissue
8
+ + - + + - Cohesion – Water “sticks” to water + + - + + - Adhesion – Water “sticks” to other molecules Transpiration – Water loss from a plant leaf
9
Bundles are found in roots, stems and leaves of vascular plants Vascular tissue
10
2 main types of vascular plants Gymnosperms – cone bearing plants Pine trees and fir trees Angiosperms – flowering plants Any tree, bush or plant that produces a flower
11
Challenge Adaptation Getting water and minerals into the plant Roots Terrestrial Plant Adaptations Moving water and food within the plant Vascular tissue Plant body supportVascular tissue
15
MERISTEMS – Regions of cell division @ tips of plant PRIMARY GROWTH - growth in length of plant SECONDARY GROWTH - Growth in thickness of plant
16
Major Functions of Support Transport Storage
17
Challenge Adaptation Terrestrial Plant Adaptations Getting sunlight for photosynthesisLeaves
19
Challenge Adaptation Terrestrial Plant Adaptations Getting sunlight for photosynthesisLeaves Getting gas for photosynthesis and cellular respiration Stomata
21
Challenge Adaptation Terrestrial Plant Adaptations Getting sunlight for photosynthesisLeaves Getting gas for photosynthesis and cellular respiration Stomata Preventing evaporation from plant surface Cuticle
23
Thin & Flat (SA/vol ratio) –Take in sunlight & CO 2 Cuticle – waxy layer –Prevent H 2 O loss STOMATA – pore. H 2 O & O 2 exit. –GUARD CELLS open & close Transpiration – Loss of H 2 O by plant – > 90% of H 2 O is lost –Through stomata
27
Challenge Adaptation Terrestrial Plant Adaptations Coordinating growth patterns and environmental response Hormones Getting sperm to egg without water Pollen
29
Challenge Adaptation Terrestrial Plant Adaptations Coordinating growth patterns and environmental response Hormones Getting sperm to egg without water Pollen Dispersing new individuals to suitable locations Airborne spores then seeds
34
Female Parts Carpel Stigma Style Ovary Male Parts Anther Stamen Filament
