Plant Kingdom Plant Kingdom NotesNotes

Producers that have cell walls

- Have no “pipes” to transport water and nutrients- Small in size

- First plants to inhabit a new environment

- Reproduce using spores

- Have “pipes” to deliver water and nutrients

- Reproduce using spores- Ex: Ferns

- Have “pipes” to deliver water and nutrients

- Reproduce using spores

- Use pollen and seeds to reproduce

- Plant that use flowers to reproduce and have seeds in fruit- Ex: Apple Tree

- Ex: Ferns

- Have “pipes” to deliver water and nutrients

- Reproduce using spores

- Use pollen and seeds to reproduce

- Plant that use flowers to reproduce and have seeds in fruit- Ex: Apple Tree

- Plants that produce seeds in cones

- Ex: Pine Tree

Transports water and minerals throughout a plant

Transports food

1) Support and anchor

2) Absorb water from soil3) Storage of food

Carnationshttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/content/start_video/color-changing-carnations

Photosynthesis

Waxy protective covering

Cacti: hard pointed needles and Venus Flytrap: catches insects

1) Support2) Transport materials from roots to leaves3) Storage

1) Filament2) Anther: produces pollen (plant sperm)

1) Stigma: sticky to catch pollen

2) Style: tube that leads to eggs

3) Ovary: holds eggs

Purpose of Flowers: to attract insects

Transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma (egg)

When the pollen (sperm) unites with the egg

A young plant that is protected and nourished

Cones

Fruits

Wind, animals, water

It becomes inactive to survive drought or cold temperatures

When the young plant starts to grow and push out of the seed

Fruit: Ripened ovary

Animals eat fruit and disperse the seeds

What is a fruit and how does an angiosperms plant disperse it’s seeds?

Flower only when days are short and nights are long

Flower only when days are long and nights are short

Have leaves all year

Lose all leaves at some point in the year

Prevents large amounts of water loss
