5. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings 17.2 Plants have adaptations for life on land Plants are multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotes

6. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Plants have some specific adaptations –That are not found in algae Plant Roots anchor plant; absorb water and minerals from the soil Reproductive structures, as in flowers, contain spores and gametes Cuticle covering leaves and stems reduces water loss; stomata in leaves allow gas exchange Leaf performs photosynthesis Surrounding water supports alga Stem supports plant and may perform photosynthesis Whole alga performs photosynthesis; absorbs water, CO 2, and minerals from the water Holdfast anchors alga Alga Figure 17.2A

7. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Obtaining Resources from Two Locations Apical meristems –Are the growth-producing regions of a plant –Help maximize exposure to the resources in the soil and air

8. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Plants have vascular tissue –Which helps distribute nutrients throughout the organism Figure 17.2B

9. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Supporting the Plant Body The cell walls of some plant tissues –Are thickened and strengthened by lignin

10. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Maintaining Moisture A waxy cuticle covers the stems and leaves of plants –And helps retain water Stomata –Are tiny pores in leaves that allow for gas exchange

11. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Reproducing on Land Many living plants –Produce gametes that are encased in protective structures

12. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings 17.3 Plant diversity reflects the evolutionary history of the plant kingdom Some highlights of plant evolution Origin of vascular plants (about 420 mya) Origin of seed plants (about 360 mya) Origin of land plants (about 475 mya) Seed plants Land plants Bryophytes (nonvascular plants) Vascular plants Seedless vascular plants Liverworts Hornworts Mosses Lycophytes (club mosses and relatives) Pterophytes (ferns and relatives) Angiosperms Gymnosperms Figure 17.3A

13. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Bryophytes lack vascular tissue and include –The mosses, hornworts, and liverworts Figure 17.3B

14. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Vascular plants –Have supportive vascular tissues

15. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Ferns are seedless vascular plants –With flagellated sperm Figure 17.3C

16. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Seed plants –Have pollen grains that transport sperm –Protect their embryos in seeds

17. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Gymnosperms, such as pines –Produce seeds in cones Figure 17.3D

18. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings The seeds of angiosperms –Develop within protective ovaries Figure 17.3E

19. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS AND PLANT LIFE CYCLES 17.4 Haploid and diploid generations alternate in plant life cycles The haploid gametophyte – Produces eggs and sperm by mitosis

20. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings The zygote develops into the diploid sporophyte –In which meiosis produces haploid spores Spores grow into gametophytes

34. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings 17.13 Interactions with animals have profoundly influenced angiosperm evolution Angiosperms –Are a major source of food for animals

35. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Animals also aid plants in pollination Figure 17.13A–C
