WHAT IS A PLANT, A PLANT IS A AUTOTROPHS, EUKARYOTES, REPRODUCEABLE

IN ORDER FOR A PLANT TO ADAPT

• they must have ways to obtain water and other nutrients from their
• Surroundings
• retain water, transport materials in their bodies
• support their bodies, and reproduc

NONVASCULAR PLANTS

• Moss, liverwort, and, hornworts

MOSSES

• Most diverse group of Nonvascular plants
• Rhizoids anchor the moss and absorb water & nutrients
• Moss has capsules at the end

LIVERWORT

• 8000 species of liverworts
• Often grow on moist rocks or soil
• Have sporophytes

HORNWORTS

• Fewer then 100 species of hornworts
• Live in moist soil
• Mixed with grass plants

SEEDLESS VASCULAR PLANTS

• Can grow tall
• Need to be in moist surroundings
• Need to have enough water for fertilization

FERNS

• 12000 species of ferns
• The fronds a divided it many littler parts
• True stem, roots, and leaves,

HORSETAILS

• Very few species
• Stems contain silica.
• Also called scouring rushes

CLUB MOSSES

• True stems, roots, leaves
• Only a few hundred species
• Has vascular tissue
• Usually grows in moist woodlands and streams

SEED PLANTS

• Has vascular tissue, and they use pollen
• Complex life cycles
• The gametophytes are microscopic

PHLOEM AND XYLEM

• Phloem- vascular tissue in which food moves
• Xylem- water and minerals travel through

POLLEN AMD SEEDS

• Live in wide variety of environments
• Do not need water for sperm to swim
• Seed is a structure that contains a small plant inside

SEED STRUCTURE

• Embryo, stored food, seed coat
• The young plant that developers from zygote
• Cotyledons

SEED DISPERSAL

• Scattering of seeds are called dispersal
• One way of it is for a animal or human to eat and poop the seed
• Can also be in water

GERMINATION

• Embryo begins to grow and pushes thought the seed
• Embryo uses the stored food to grow

ROOTS

• Anchor plants in ground
• Absorb water and minerals
• Store food sometimes

STEMS

• Carries substances
• Provides supports

LEAVES

• Vary in size and shape
• Carrie am important role
• Capture suns energy
• Photosynthesis

GYMNOSPERMS

• Seed that produces naked seeds
• Not enclosed by a protective fruit

EXAMPLES OF GYMNOSPERMS

• Cycads
• Conifers
• Ginkgoes
• Gnetophytes

ANGIOSPERMS

• Flowering plants
• Produce flowers
• Produce covered seeds

EXAMPLES OF ANGIOSPERMS

• Sepals and petals
• Stamens
• Pistils
• Pollinators

MONOCOT VS DECOT

• Monocots have three petals
• Dicots have 4 or 5 petals

PLANT TROPISMS

• Touch light gravity
• Touch plants are sensitive
• Light plants always a temp to go to,light
• Gravity plants grow downward
