Introduction

Kingdom

1
Aquatic Ancestor



Closest living
species to a
possible land
plant ancestor
Group of green
algae
Called
Charyophyceans
copyright cmassengale
Chara
2
Algae & Land Plant
Similarities





Both contain chlorophylls a and b
Have chloroplasts with stacks of
thylakoids
Store starch in plastids
Cellulose in cell walls
Go through Alternation of Generations

How Are Plants
All Alike?

Plant Characteristics





Multicellular
Autotrophic (photosynthesis)
Chlorophylls a and b in thylakoid
membranes
Surrounded by cell walls containing
cellulose (polysaccharide)
Store reserve food as amylose
(starch)

Plant
Divisions

6
Taxonomy



Plants are divided
into two groups
Based on the
presence or
absence of an
internal transport
system for water
and dissolved
materials
Called Vascular
System
Vascular
Bundles
copyright cmassengale
7
Vascular System



Xylem tissue carries water and
minerals upward from the roots
Phloem tissue carries sugars made
by photosynthesis from the leaves
to where they will be stored or
used
Sap is the fluid carried inside the
xylem or phloem
copyright cmassengale
8
Nonvascular Plants



Do not have
vascular tissue
for support or
conduction of
materials
Called
Bryophytes
Require a
constantly moist
environment
Sporophyte stage
Gametophyte
Stage
Moss Gametophytes &
copyright cmassengale
Sporophytes
9
Nonvascular Plants
Plants can’t grow as tall
 Cells must be in direct contact
with moisture
 Materials move by diffusion
cell-to-cell
 Sperm must swim to egg
through water droplets


10
Nonvascular Plants

Includes mosses (Bryophyta),
liverworts (Hepatophyta), and
hornworts (Antherophyta)
Liverworts
copyright cmassengale
Hornworts
11
Main Parts of Vascular
Plants


Shoots
-Found above ground
-Have leaves attached
- Photosynthetic part of
plant
Roots
-Found below ground
-Absorb water & minerals
-Anchor the plant

12
Vascular Plants


Also called
Tracheophytes
Subdivided into
two groups -Seedless
vascular plants
and Seedbearing vascular
plants
copyright cmassengale
Club Moss
13
Seedless Vascular Plants

Includes club moss (Lycophyta),
horsetails (Sphenophyta), whisk
ferns (Psilophyta), and ferns
(Pterophyta)
Whisk ferns
copyright cmassengale
Horsetails
14
Seed-Producing Vascular
Plants



Includes two groups –
Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
Gymnosperms have naked seeds in
cones
Angiosperms have flowers that
produce seeds to attract
pollinators and produce seeds
copyright cmassengale
15
Gymnosperms




Coniferophyta are
known as conifers
Includes pine,
cedar, spruce, and
fir
Cycadophyta –
cycads
Ginkgophyta ginkgo

Ginkgo

16
Gymnosperms


Contains the
oldest living
plant – Bristle
cone pine
Contains the
tallest living
plant – Sequoia
or redwood
copyright cmassengale
17
Angiosperms




Flowering plants
Seeds are formed when an
egg or ovule is fertilized by
pollen in the ovary
Flower contains the male
(stamen) and/or female
(ovaries) parts of the plant
Fruits are frequently
produced from these
ripened ovaries (which help
disperse seeds)
copyright cmassengale
18
Angiosperms




Division Anthophyta
Subdivided into two groups –
Monocots and Dicots
Monocots have a single seed
cotyledon
Dicots have two seed cotyledons
copyright cmassengale
19
Monocots



Parallel
venation in
leaves
Flower parts in
multiples of 3
Vascular tissue
scattered in
cross section
of stem
copyright cmassengale
20
Dicots



Net venation in
leaves
Flower parts in
multiples of 4
or 5
Vascular tissue
in rings in
cross section
of stem

Plant Uses

22
Why We Can’t do Without
Plants!





Produce oxygen for the
atmosphere
Produce lumber for building
Provide homes and food for many
organisms
Prevent erosion
Used for food
copyright cmassengale
23
More Reasons We Can’t do
Without Plants!





Produce wood pulp for paper
products
Source of many medicines
Ornamental and shade for yards
Fibers such as cotton for fabric
