Review of Unit Three
Name Five major characteristics of the Fungi Kingdom:
1.
Eukaryotes- Cells have a nucleus
2.
Have a cell wall made of chitin
3. Mostly Multicellular (except for yeast which is unicellular
4. Heterotrophs- AKA Consumers. Fungi are decomposers
5. Some reproduce sexually and some reproduce asexually
How is this different than the Plant Kingdom?

Introduction to Plants
What is a plant?
A. Multicellular – composed of more than 1 cell
B. Eukaryotic – cells contain a nucleus
C. Autotrophic – most carry out photosynthesis
D. Cell walls made of cellulose
E. Reproduce sexually and asexually
•
•
In Sexual Reproduction– plants create egg and sperm
cells
Asexual reproduction - can reproduce by propagation
(fragmentation) – cuttings taken from plant and allowed
to root - identical to parent

Why are plants classified into these groups? 2 main
reasons.
A. Based on 3 important physical features
1. Whether or not they have vascular tissue
A. Vascular Tissue: conducts water and minerals
2. Whether or not they produce seeds or spores
3. Whether or not they produce flowers
B. Project Deep Green
1. Since 1994, Biologists from 12 nations
have been classifying plants by comparing
DNA sequences

Seed Plants Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
I. Gymnosperms – do not produce flowers or fruits
but do produce seeds and have vascular tissue.
A. Largest group of gymnosperms are the
conifers. Ex; pine trees
1. Conifers have 2 types of cones; male and
female
2. Male cones produce pollen that carries
sperm cells
3. Female cones produce eggs

water
5. After pollination, the fertilized egg develops into a
seed.

Welwitschia
It only grows in a remote region of southwestern Africa in the Namib and
Mossamedes Deserts. The leaves lie on the ground and as they flap about
in the wind they become split and frayed. Welwitschias absorb moisture in
the form of dense fog that flows over the Namib Desert.

B. Conifers are an important source for building
materials and paper products
II. Angiosperms – produce flowers, fruits, and seeds
and are the most abundant plants on Earth.
A. Two main types of angiosperms: Monocots and
Dicots

B. Pollination occurs mostly by animals (best
adaptation!)
Many angiosperms have mutual relationships with
animals like insects, bats, or birds. As animals gather
nectar from flowers, they also transfer pollen from
flower to flower. Many species are flower specific- only
gather nectar from one type of flower. After pollination
and fertilization, seeds develop inside protective fruits.
C. Angiosperms are the main source of food for all
animals on earth including humans. Rice, wheat, barley,
grasses – all are angiosperms. They are also used in
medicines, clothing and other products.

From flower to fruit
Flowers, fruits and seeds…
III. Why are seed plants more successful that spore producing
plants?
is protected inside seeds and fruits
so the young of seed plants tend to
survive better. The spores of ferns
and mosses must land in a wet
habitat. If they do not, they will
die.
B. Sperm does not have to swim thru water- it is carried by wind or
animals during pollination. This enables seed plants to live in dryer
habitats. It also increases reproductive success.

Seed plants
I. Basic Structures in Plants
A. Seed – embryo of a plant that is protected by a
covering and surrounded by a food supply
1. Can remain dormant for many years
2. Environmental factors (temperature and moisture)
end dormancy
3. Many modified for easy dispersal
a. Light weight - can float in water and in the
air
b. Textured seed coats that stick to animal fur
c.“Winged” seeds – can “fly” long distances
away from parent plant
d. Angiosperm seeds are surrounded by fleshy
fruits that are eaten by animals allowing
seeds to be dispersed
e. Seeds of Gymnosperms develop inside of
protective cones

B. Vascular Tissues- system of “tubes” throughout a
plant; two types – xylem and phloem
1. Xylem - transports water from the roots to the
rest of the plant
2. Phloem - transports the products of
photosynthesis (sugars) from the leaves to the
rest of the plant
C. Roots – absorb water and nutrients, anchor the plant,
store food
D. Stems – supports plant, contains vascular tissue to
transport water and nutrients between the roots and
leaves

1. Two types of growth occur in stems and roots
a. Primary – growth from the tips of the roots and the
shoots at areas called apical meristem
b. Secondary – growth in the width of the plant. (tree
rings)

Vascular Cambium

E. Leaves carry out photosynthesis and transpiration
1. Epidermis - outer layer that covers the leaf. “skin”
2. Cuticle – waxy covering over the epidermis that
prevents the plant from drying out
3. Mesophyll - middle layer of cells that carry out
photosynthesis and exchange of the gases CO2
and O2
4. Stomata – openings on the bottom of the leaf that
allow gases to enter and leave
5. Guard cells – cells around the stomata that open
and close the stomata
a. When the guard cells are full of water, the stomata is
open. When they do not have water the stomata is
closed. (This helps the plant conserve water when it
is dry.
b. Stomata are usually closed at night. (no sun = no
photosynthesis)
