How Are Plants
All Alike?

1
General characteristics

All plants are eukaryotic, multicellular,
autotrophs (producers),nonmobile, and have a
cell wall.
THE SUN: MAIN SOURCE OF
ENERGY FOR LIFE ON EARTH
THE BASICS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Almost all plants are photosynthetic autotrophs, as
are some bacteria and protists
– Autotrophs make their own organic matter (energy)
through photosynthesis
– Sunlight energy is transformed to energy stored in the
form of chemical bonds
(c) Euglena
(b) Kelp
(a) Mosses, ferns, and
flowering plants
(d) Cyanobacteria
Light Energy Harvested by Plants &
Other Photosynthetic Autotrophs
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6
O2
Photosynthesis
• Uses a green pigment (cholorphyll)
to capture energy from the sun to
convert it to a usable form of
energy.
• Takes place in the cholorplasts of a
plant cell.

WHY ARE PLANTS GREEN?
It's not that easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that…
Kermit the Frog
Chloroplasts: Sites of Photosynthesis
• Photosynthesis
– All green plant parts have chloroplasts and carry
out photosynthesis
• The leaves have the most chloroplasts
• The green color comes from chlorophyll in the
chloroplasts
• The pigments absorb light energy

AN OVERVIEW OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Photosynthesis is the process by which
autotrophic organisms use light energy to make
sugar and oxygen gas from carbon dioxide and
water
Carbon

Water

Oxygen

Food Chain
WHY ARE PLANTS GREEN?
Plant Cells
have Green
Chloroplasts
The thylakoid
membrane of the
chloroplast is
impregnated with
photosynthetic
pigments (i.e.,
chlorophylls,
carotenoids).
Cellular Respiration




Both plants and animals use this!
Plants use this when there is no sunlight!
Happens in the mitochondria of a cell.
Cells release energy from food if oxygen is
present.

15
Cellular Respiration
+Photosynthesis

Keep oxygen and Carbon Dioxide levels
normal!

Transpiraiton
When water
evaporates
from tiny holes
(stomata) in
the leaf!

Plant Reproduction




Alternation of generations life
cycle
Diploid (2n) sporophyte stage
Haploid (1n) gametophyte stage
Produce multicellular embryo

Divisions

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
21
Nonvascular Plants



Do not have vascular
tissue for support or
conduction of
materials
Sporophyte stageproduce spores
Gametophyte stageproduce seeds.
Sporophyte stage
Gametophyte
Stage
Moss Gametophytes &
Sporophytes
22
Nonvascular Plants
Plants can’t grow as tall
 Cells must be in direct contact
with moisture
 No roots!
 Materials move by diffusion
cell-to-cell
 Sperm must swim to egg
through water droplets

copyright cmassengale
23
Nonvascular Plants

Includes mosses (Bryophyta),
liverworts (Hepatophyta), and
hornworts (Antherophyta)
Liverworts
copyright cmassengale
Hornworts
24
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
25

Xylem and
Phloem also
provide
stability,
support, and
strength to the
plant.
26
Vascular Plants


Also called
Tracheophytes
Subdivided into
two groups


Seedless
vascular plants
and
Seed-bearing
vascular plants
copyright cmassengale
Club Moss
27
Seedless Vascular Plants

Includes club moss (Lycophyta),
horsetails (Sphenophyta), whisk
ferns (Psilophyta), and ferns
(Pterophyta)
Whisk ferns

Horsetails

Seed-Producing Vascular
Plants
Includes two groups:
Gymnosperm (Cone bearing plants)
Angiosperm (Flowering Plants)
•
•
•
•
•
•
• Flowers that produce seeds to attract
pollinators to produce seeds.
• Seeds are enclosed in a protective
layer or a fruit.
Naked seeds in Cones
Non-flowering
Seeds are not enclosed in a fruit
Needle-like leaves
Reproductive structure=cones
Example: Pine trees

cedar, spruce, and
fir)

Contains the
tallest living
plant – Sequoia
or redwood
copyright cmassengale
31
Angiosperms





Flowering plants
Seeds are formed when an
egg or ovule is fertilized by
pollen in the ovary
Ovary is within a flower
Flower contains the male
and/or female parts of the
plant
Fruits are frequently
produced from these
ripened ovaries (help
disperse seeds)

32
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

Parts of a Flowering plant
34
copyright cmassengale
35




Stems: Transport water and nutrients up
throughout the plant
Flower: Specialized reproductive structures that
are often colorful to attract pollinators.
Roots: Anchor plant in the ground and gather
water and nutrients from the soil.
Leaves: Contain chloroplasts and chlorophyll for
photosynthesis.


Male reproductive structure-Stamen
Female Reproductive Structure-Pistil
The pistil has the STICKY stigma that is held
up by the style.
Stamen holds up the anther
Anther produces pollen.
The ovary contains the eggs.
Once eggs are fertilized they become seeds
and the ovary turns in to a fruit

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

39
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



Roots anchor seed plants to the ground, absorb water and
minerals from the soil, and sometimes store food in the form of
starch.
The stems carry substances between the roots and the leaves,
support the plant, and hold the leaves up to the sun.
