Plantae
Main Characteristics
• Cells contain a nucleus
• Make their own food
• Cells contain a cell wall
• Multicellular
• Can not move from place to place
Types of Plants
1. Nonvascular Plants
• Do NOT have conducting tissue (pipes) to transport water
and nutrients.
• These plants are small and use diffusion and osmosis to
move materials.
• Examples: mosses and liverworts
2. Vascular Plants
• Contain conducting tissue (pipes) to deliver needed
materials throughout the plant.
• Vascular plants can be any size
Types of Vascular Plants
1. Plants without seeds.
• Help form soil and prevent erosion
• Examples: ferns, horsetails and club mosses
2. Plants with seeds.
• Have a two part life cycle
• sporophyte - produce spores
• gametophyte - produce sex cells
Types of Seed Plants
1. Gymnosperms
• Non-flowering or fruit bearing plants
• Produce cones instead of flowers and fruits.
• Example: Conifers
2. Angiosperms
• Flowering plants
• Use flowers (attract animals) and fruits (protect seeds)
for reproduction.
• Flowering plants provide food for animals.
Seed Structure
Cotyledon - a seed leaf. Provides food for the
embryo before it can makes its own food.
Types of Angiosperms
1. Monocots
• Contains 1 seed leaf (cotyledon)
• Flower parts in threes
• Leaves with parallel veins
• Vascular tissue scattered
• Examples: grasses, onions, lillies, palms
2. Dicots
• Contains 2 seed leaves (cotyledons)
• Flower parts in fours or fives
• Leaves with branching veins
• Vascular tissue in a ring
• Examples: roses, cactuses, sunflowers, peanuts

Angiosperm Structure
Angiosperms are made up of:
• Roots
• Stems
• Leaves
• Flowers
Stamen
Pistil

Leaves
Roots
Stems
Roots
Main Functions:
• Supply plant with water and minerals that
are absorbed from the soil
• Support and anchor plant
• Store food made during photosynthesis
Root Types
1. Tap Root •One main root growing down with smaller
roots coming off.
•Example: carrots
2. Fibrous Root • Several roots that are the same size.
• Example: grass
Stems
Main Functions:
• Support plant body
• Some stems can store materials.
• Example: cactus stores water
• Transport materials between roots and leaves
• Xylem - carries water and minerals upward from
the roots
• Phloem - carries food downward to roots for
storage and to other parts of the plant
Stem Types
1. Herbaceous
• Soft, flexible plant
2. Woody
• Rigid stems made of
wood and bark

Leaves
Main Functions:
• Capture sunlight to make food
Parts of the Leaf:
• Cuticle - waxy covering that protects against water loss
• Chloroplasts - contain chlorophyll to capture sunlight
• Veins - Move water, food and nutrients through xylem
and phloem
• Stomata - openings under the leaf to let in carbon dioxide
and give off water and oxygen.
• Guard cells - open and close the stomata

Flowers
Main Functions: Used for sexual reproduction
Parts of the Flower
• Sepal - protects immature flower when it is a bud
• Petals - attract insects and animals
• Stamen - male reproductive parts
Anther - produces pollen grains
Filament - thin stalk, that anther sits on
Parts of the Flower Continued
•Pistil - female reproductive parts
Stigma - collects pollen
Style- pollen travels down to reach egg
Ovary - develops into the fruit
• Ovule - inside the ovary; contains the egg.
Develops into a seed after fertilization.

Pollination & Fertilization
1. What type of reproduction occurs in
flowering plants?
- sexual reproduction
- egg and sperm are needed
- offspring look different than parents
pistil
stamen
stigma
pollen
style
ovary
Self-pollination
anther
Cross-pollination
2. What is pollination?
- Pollination occurs when pollen grains are
transported from anthers to stigmas.
- Self-pollination: egg and sperm from the
same plant
- Cross-pollination: egg and sperm from
different plants
3. What has to happen in order for fertilization
to occur?
- The sperm inside the pollen must get from
stigma to ovary.
- A pollen tube forms from stigma to ovary.
4. What is fertilization?
- Fertilization occurs when the sperm from the
pollen grain fuses (joins) with the egg inside
the ovule.
5. What takes place after fertilization?
- The ovule develops into a seed.
- The ovary develops into a fruit.
6. What are dormant seeds?
- They are seeds that are inactive (not
growing or developing).
7. What does a seed need to grow?
- water
- oxygen
- proper temperature
8. What is germination?
- Germination is the sprouting of a seed.
Germination
9. How do plants reproduce asexually?
- root or stem can become a new plant
(vegetative propagation)
Examples:
- cuttings: using part of stem or root
- runners: stems that run along the ground
and buds grow off it.
- plantlets: tiny plants grow on leaves

2. D,E, F from above make up the _________.
10. What is a tropism?
- growth in response to a stimulus
Examples:
phototropism: response to light
gravitropism: response to gravity
Photosynthesis
1. What is needed for photosynthesis?
- sunlight (chloroplasts in leaves)
- carbon dioxide (stomata in leaves)
- water (absorbed by roots)
2. What does chlorophyll do?
- chlorophyll absorbs sunlight in the leaves
3. What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Sunlight + 6 CO2 + 6 H2O ----> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
sunlight + carbon dioxide + water ---> sugar + oxygen
Excess sugar travels down phloem to be stored in the roots.
4. What is cellular respiration?
- Converts the energy stored in food into a form of
energy the plant can use.
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ---->
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy
5. What is transpiration?
- Water loss from leaves through stomata.
