8. Materials for Plant Processes
Xylem and phloem—the vascular tissue in most plants—transport materials throughout a plant.
Water flows inside xylem to all parts of a plant.
Most plants make their own food; a liquid sugar that moves out of food-making cells, enters phloem, and flows to all plant cells.
Lesson 1-1

9. Materials for Plant Processes (cont.)
Carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapor pass into and out of a plant through tiny openings in leaves.
How do materials move through plants?
Lesson 1-1

10. Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into the food-energy molecule glucose and give off oxygen.
photosynthesis
from Greek photo–, means “light”; and synthesis, means “composition”
Lesson 1-2

11. Photosynthesis (cont.)
Two types of mesophyll cells inside a leaf contain chloroplasts, the organelles where photosynthesis occurs.
Near the top surface of the leaf are palisade mesophyll cells, which are packed together.
Spongy mesophyll cells have open spaces between them, and gases needed for photosynthesis flow through the spaces.
Lesson 1-2

12. Lesson 1-2

13. Photosynthesis (cont.)
In the first step of photosynthesis, plants capture the energy in light.
This occurs in chloroplasts, which contain plant pigments.
Chlorophyll, the most common plant pigment, is necessary for photosynthesis.
Lesson 1-2

14. Lesson 1-2

15. Photosynthesis (cont.)
Sugars are made in the second step of photosynthesis.
In chloroplasts, carbon dioxide and water are broken down and, using energy stored in chlorophyll, form sugar molecules.
Lesson 1-2

16. Photosynthesis (cont.)
What are the two steps of photosynthesis?
Lesson 1-2

17. Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP.
Glucose molecules break down during cellular respiration.
Plants produce sugar, but without cellular respiration, plants could not grow, reproduce, or repair tissues.

31. Stimuli and Plant Responses
Stimuli are any changes in an organism’s environment that cause a response.
A plant responds to light by growing toward it.
Lesson 2-1

32. Environmental Stimuli
A tropism is a response that results in plant growth toward or away from a stimulus.
When the growth is toward a stimulus, the tropism is called positive.
Growth away from a stimulus is considered negative.
Lesson 2-2

33. The growth of a plant toward or away from light is a tropism called phototropism
Lesson 2-2

34. Environmental Stimuli (cont.)
tropism
from Greek tropos, means “turn” or “turning”
Lesson 2-2

35. Environmental Stimuli (cont.)
The response of a plant to touch is called a thigmotropism.
Special structures that respond to touch, called tendrils, can wrap around or cling to objects.
Lesson 2-2

36. Environmental Stimuli (cont.)
The response of a plant to gravity is called gravitropism.
Stems grow away from gravity, while roots grow toward gravity.
Lesson 2-2

37. Environmental Stimuli (cont.)
What types of environmental stimuli do plants respond to? Give three examples.
Lesson 2-2

38. Environmental Stimuli (cont.)
Photoperiodism is a plant’s response to the number of hours of darkness in its environment.
Plants that flower when exposed to less than hours of darkness are called long-day plants.
Lesson 2-2

39. Environmental Stimuli (cont.)
Short-day plants require 12 or more hours of darkness for flowering to begin.
Day-neutral plants flower when they reach maturity and the environmental conditions are right.
Lesson 2-2

40. The number of hours of darkness controls flowering in many plants.
Lesson 2-2

41. Chemical Stimuli
Plant hormones are substances that act as chemical messengers within plants.
Auxins are hormones responsible for phototropism.
They cause the cells on the dark side of the plant’s stem to grow longer.
Lesson 2-3

42. Chemical Stimuli (cont.)
The plant hormone ethylene helps stimulate the ripening of fruit.
Ethylene is a gas that can be produced by fruits, seeds, flowers, and leaves.
How do plants respond to the chemical stimuli, or hormones, auxin and ethylene?
Lesson 2-3

43. Chemical Stimuli (cont.)
Rapidly growing areas of a plant, such as roots and stems, produce gibberellins, which increase the rate of cell division and cell elongation.
Root tips produce cytokinins, a hormone that increases the rate of cell division and, in some plants, slows the aging process of flowers and fruits.
Lesson 2-3

44. Humans and Plant Responses
Humans make plants more productive by using plant hormones.
Some crops now are easier to grow because humans understand how plants respond to hormones.
Lesson 2-4

54. Asexual Reproduction Versus Sexual Reproduction
Asexual reproduction occurs when a portion of a plant develops into a separate new plant that is genetically identical to the original, or parent, plant.
Sexual reproduction occurs when a plant’s sperm combines with a plant’s egg. The resulting zygote can grow into a plant that is a genetic combination of its parents.
Lesson 3-1

55. Humans live their entire lives as diploid organisms
Humans live their entire lives as diploid organisms. Some organisms have haploid and diploid stages called generations.
Lesson 3-2

56. Alternation of Generations

generation
Science Use haploid and diploid stages in the life cycle of a plant
Common Use the average span of time between the birth of parents and their offspring
Lesson 3-2

57. Alternation of Generations (cont.)
What is alternation of generations in plants?
Lesson 3-2

58. Alternation of Generations (cont.)
Meiosis occurs in certain cells in the reproductive structures of a diploid plant.
The daughter cells produced from haploid structures are called spores.
spore
from Greek spora, means “seed, a sowing”
Lesson 3-2

59. Alternation of Generations (cont.)
Spores grow by mitosis and cell division and form the haploid generation of a plant.
Certain reproductive cells of the haploid generation produce haploid sperm or eggs by mitosis and cell division.
Fertilization takes place when a sperm and an egg fuse and form a diploid zygote.
Lesson 3-2

60. Reproduction in Seedless Plants
Seedless plants grow from haploid spores, not from seeds.
Mosses grow by mitosis and cell division from haploid spores produced by the diploid generation.
Lesson 3-3

61. Reproduction in Seedless Plants
Ferns produce haploid spores that grow into tiny plants which produce eggs and sperm that can unite and form the diploid generation.
Lesson 3-3

62. Reproduction in Seedless Plants (cont.)
How do seedless plants such as mosses and ferns reproduce?
Lesson 3-3

63. How do seed plants reproduce?
Unlike seedless plants, the haploid generation of a seed plant is within diploid tissue.
Separate diploid male and diploid female reproductive structures produce haploid sperm and haploid eggs that join during fertilization.
Lesson 3-4

64. How do seed plants reproduce? (cont.)
A pollen grain forms in a male reproductive structure of a seed plant.
Pollen grains produce sperm cells which can be carried to female reproductive structures by wind, animals, gravity, or water currents.
The female reproductive structure of a seed plant where the haploid egg develops is called the ovule.
Lesson 3-4

65. Pollination occurs when pollen grains land on a female reproductive structure of a plant that is the same species as the pollen grains.
Lesson 3-4

66. How do seed plants reproduce? (cont.)
Following pollination, sperm enter the ovule and fertilization occurs.
A zygote forms and develops into an embryo, an immature diploid plant.
Lesson 3-4

67. How do seed plants reproduce? (cont.)
An embryo, its food supply, and a protective covering make up a seed.
Lesson 3-4

68. How do seed plants reproduce? (cont.)
Lesson 3-4

69. How do seed plants reproduce? (cont.)

The most common gymnosperms are conifers, such as pines, firs, cypresses, redwoods, and yews.
Cones are the male and female reproductive structures of conifers.
Lesson 3-4

70. Reproduction in Flowerless Seed Plants
Lesson 3-4

71. How do seed plants reproduce? (cont.)
Flowering seed plants are called angiosperms.
Reproduction of an angiosperm begins in a flower, most of which have male and female reproductive structures.
Lesson 3-4

72. How do seed plants reproduce? (cont.)
The male reproductive organ of a flower is the stamen.
Pollen grains form at the tip of the stamen in the anther.
Lesson 3-4

73. How do seed plants reproduce? (cont.)
The female reproductive organ of a flower is the pistil.
Pollen can land at the tip of the pistil, or stigma.
The ovary is at the base of the style. It contains one or more ovules.
Lesson 3-4

74. How do seed plants reproduce? (cont.)
The ovary, and sometimes other parts of the flower, will develop into a fruit that contains one or more seeds.
The seeds can grow into new, genetically related plants that produce flowers, and the cycle repeats.
Lesson 3-4

75. Lesson 3-4

76. How do seed plants reproduce? (cont.)
In most cases, seeds of flowering plants are inside fruits.
Fruits help protect seeds and help scatter or disperse them.

The BIG Idea

85. Lesson 1: Energy Processing in Plants
The vascular tissues in most plants, xylem and phloem, move materials throughout plants.
In photosynthesis, plants convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into the food-energy molecule glucose through a series of chemical reactions. The process gives off oxygen.
Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP.
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration can be considered opposite processes of each other.
Key Concepts 1

86. Lesson 2: Plant Responses
Although plants cannot move from one place to another, they do respond to stimuli, or changes in their environments. Plants respond to stimuli in different ways. Tropisms are growth responses toward or away from stimuli such as light, touch, and gravity. Photoperiodism is a plant’s response to the number of hours of darkness in its environment.
Plants respond to chemical stimuli, or plant hormones, such as auxins, ethylene, gibberellins, and cytokinins. Different hormones have different effects on plants.
Key Concepts 2

87. Lesson 3: Plant Reproduction
Alternation of generations is when the life cycle of an organism alternates between diploid and haploid generations.
Seedless plants, such as ferns, reproduce when a haploid sperm fertilizes a haploid egg, forming a diploid zygote.
Seed plants reproduce when pollen grains, which contain haploid sperm, land on the tip of the female reproductive organ. At the base of this organ is the ovary, which usually contains one or more ovules. Each ovule eventually will contain a haploid egg. If the sperm fertilizes the egg, an embryo will form within a seed.
