Ch. 28 Plant Evolution & Classification The first plants were thought to be water plants Algae. Other plants evolved from algae. Pg. 581 If you were to take algae out of the water would it live alright. So, how do land plants live away from water? Land plants developed a cuticle, which is a waxy protective covering, to protect against desiccation. Bark & leaves have this. Does algae have a cuticle? Algae is not a plant; its classified as a Protista

Vascular Tissue Vascular tissues transport food and water throughout the plant. 1. Xylem transports water. Dead cells. 2. Phloem transports food. Table 30-1 Phyla of the Plant Kingdom (pg. 580) Nonvascular Vascular without seeds Vascular with seeds Spores haploid reproductive structure of some plants. Seeds diploid (embryo) structure with a protective coat and endosperm (food).

Slide 5

2 Main Groups of Plants 1. Nonvascular plants no vascular tissue. No true roots, leaves, or stems. Ex. Chlorophyta Algae Ex. Bryophyta Mosses 2. Vascular plants have vascular tissues. Able to transport food & water. They have true roots, leaves, and stems. Pterophyta Ferns (spores - seedless) Shenophyta Horsetail (spores - seedless) Coniferophyta pine trees (gymnosperms). Anthophyta flowering plants (angiosperms).

NAME THESE 2 PLANTS?

Slide 7

Bryophyta are mosses that have rhizoids. Rhizoids (false roots) are like roots, but they dont have vascular tissue. How many of you get moss on your fishing line when you go fishing? Horsetails have a cone-like structure at the tip called a strobilius. Horsetail is also called scouring rush; Native Americans use to use it for clean pots. Name the main types of vascular plants Horsetail, ferns, conifers, flowering plants

Parts of a Fern Ferns leaves are called Fronds Ferns roots are called Rhizomes On the underneath side of a frond are several round structures called sori (plural). The outside covering of the sori is a induisium. The induisium opens up to release sporangium. The sori hold several sporangium. Inside the sporangium are spores, which are released when the sporangium opens up. Types of ferns Pg. 587 Video Clip

Gymnosperms Gymnosperm means naked seeds. Gymnosperms have cones with seeds. Video Ginkgo trees are one of very few deciduous tree that are gymnosperms. What does deciduous mean? Has anyone ever heard of a ginkgo before? Conifers or evergreens are the main type of tree in this group Coniferophyta. Oldest living organism Bristle Cone Pine 4,000 to 5,000 years old. Video One of the most massive organisms Giant Sequoia about 100,000 tons. Video

Angiosperms Angiosperms means covered seeds. Anthophyta (division) Flowering plants Divided into 2 Classes 1. Monocotyledon (Monocots) 1 seed leaf or 1 cotyledon 2. Dicotyledon (Dicot) 2 seed leaves or 2 cotyledons.

Slide 28

Monocot Characteristics 1. Parallel leaf venation. Ex. Corn & grasses 2. 3 or 6 part arrangement of the flower 3. 1 cotyledon 4. Scattered vascular bundles Examples = grasses, wheat, corn, tulips, etc. Dicot Characteristics 1. Netted leaf venation. Ex. Most tree leaves 2. 4 or 5 part arrangement of the flower 3. 2 cotyledon 4. Vascular bundles in a ring. Examples = trees, most weeds, etc.

Slide 29

What does the term deciduous mean? Trees that loose their leaves. Alternation of Generation This is the life cycle of plants (2 phases) 1. Sporophyte Generation (Diploid) The time when the plant produces spores or seeds This is the mature part of the plants life cycle. 2. Gameophyte Generation (Haploid) The time when the plant produces an egg and pollen (gametes). This is the part of the life cycle when there is a antheridium (male plant) and archegonium (female plant). When the male (pollen ) fertilizes the female (egg), that starts the sporophyte generation again. Pg. 582

Slide 30

Seeds vs. Spores 1. Seeds have a constant supply of food for the embryo from the cotyledon. 2. Seeds are protected during harsh conditions. Drought & winter 3. Seeds adapt for easy dispersal. Stickers, dandelion, fruit, ect. 4. Seeds dont require water. So, how do spore plants survive if spores have less advantages? Produce more spores
