Range in size (microscopic to gigantic) Adapted to nearly every environment on earth Shared Characteristics: Most have roots or root-like structures All need water Have a cell wall Contain chlorophyll to aid in photosynthesis Land plant ancestors were green algae that lived in the sea Exact origin of flowering plants are not known There was more sunlight and CO2 on land for plants to use during photosynthesis than in the sea As plants moved onto land more O2 became available for animals to develop All adaptations enabled plants to survive on land Cuticle-helps plant conserve water Cellulose found in the cell wall helps plants support itself and provide structure Structures developed that distribute water, nutrients and food to all plant cells Plants developed water-resistant seeds or spores to help them reproduce 2 divisions 1. Vascular Plants have tube-like structures that carry water and nutrients to other parts of the plant 2 groups in this division Seed vascular and seedless vascular 2. Nonvascular plants Do not have tube-like structures Are seedless and have no groups Developed by Carolus Linnaeus Every plant given a unique 2 word name Ex: Shasta daisy-chrysanthemum maximum Do not grow from seeds Few cells thick Rhizoids anchor them to the ground not roots Grow in places that are damp Do not have flowers or cones Reproduce by spores- waterproof reproductive cell Mosses Grow in damp areas Grow on rocks, trees and ground Some have adapted to live in the desert Pioneer species 2. Liverworts Rootless plants Flattened leaf-like bodies 3. Hornworts Less than 2.5 cm in diameter Flattened bodies Have only 1 chloroplast in each cell 1. Reproduce with spores Has vascular tissue which is made up of long tube-like structures Vascular tissue carries water, minerals, and food throughout the plant This enables plants to grow bigger and thicker 1. Ferns Largest group Have stem, leaves and roots Leaves are called fronds, where spores are found 2. 3. Club Mosses Related more to ferns than mosses Needle-like leaves Spores are produced at the end of the stem in structures like pine cones Horsetails Spores produced in a cone-like structure Stem is jointed and has a hollow center Stem contains silica-gritty stubstance Used for polishing objects and sharpening tools Peat, remains of moss, is used as a low-cost fuel in Ireland and Russia Scientists hypothesize peat could become coal Nonvascular plants help build new soil Parts can be eaten as food, such as rhizomes and young fronds Ferns used as weaving material Ferns used as landscaping and house plants Ferns also used as folk medicines Have leaves, stems, roots and vascular tissue Produce seeds 2 major groups Most plants are seed plants 1. Leaves Organs where photosynthesis occurs Come in many shapes, sizes and colors Epidermis covers and protects the leaf Cuticle-waxy covering Stomata-openings in the epidermis which allows CO2 and water to enter and exit Guard cells-open and close the stomata Palisade layer -most of the food is produced by the cells in this layer Spongy layer -veins containing vascular tissue are found 2. Stems Located above ground and support the branches, leaves and reproductive structures Vascular tissue in stems moves material from the roots to the leaves Some are herbaceous-soft, and green Trees and shrubs have hard, rigid woody stems 3. Roots Water and nutrients enter the plant through the roots and the vascular tissue transports the substances to the other parts of the plant Act as anchors, to keep plants from being blown away Sometimes all of the roots can be above ground Can store food Plants in dry areas have roots that store water Root tissue absorb oxygen to aid in respiration 4. Vascular Tissue Made up of three tissues Xylem: tubes stacked up on top of each to form a vessel Vessels transport substances throughout the plant Xylem cell walls help support the plant Phloem: tubular cells stacked to form tubes Tubes move food from where it is made to the other parts of the plant Cambium: tissue that produces the xylem and phloem cells The growth of new xylem and phloem thicken the stem and roots Vascular plants Produce seeds, but no flowers or fruit protect the seeds Leaves are needlelike Many are evergreens Cones are reproductive structures Seeds develop on female cones 4 divisions 1. Conifers (pines, firs, spruces, redwoods) Most diverse group 2. Cycads Found in tropical regions 3. Ginkgoes Pollution-tolerant Are deciduous 4. Gnetophytes (joint fir) More than ½ of species grouped into 1 genus Vascular plant Flowers and produces fruit More than ½ of known plant species belong to this group Flowers vary in size, shape and color Some flower parts develop into a fruit Most fruits have seeds 2 groups 1. Moncots 2. Dicots 1. Monocots Has 1 cotyledon-used for food storage in the seed We get foods from them, such as bananas, pineapple Other examples: lilies and orchids Flower parts in multiples of three Leaves are narrow Vascular tissues run parallel to one another Vascular bundles are scattered throughout the plant 2. Dicots 2 cotyledon Produces peanuts, green peas, apples, oranges Trees: maple, oak and elm flower parts are in multiples of four or five Vascular tissues are in a bundle Vascular bundles occur in rings like the rings of a tree Paper and wood come from gymnosperms Cotton comes from seed plants Fruits, bread, potato chips come from seed plants Diets of most animals come from angiosperms Refer to Table 1 Pg 260 for products of seed plants
