Plant Evolution and Classification

Adapting to Land  Life flourished in oceans for more than 3 billion years.  No organisms lived on land until about 475 million years ago, when the Earth’s Ozone Layer was formed.  Three adaptations were required to allow plants to thrive on land:  The ability to prevent water loss  The ability to reproduce in the absence of water  The ability to absorb and transport nutrients.

Preventing Water Loss  Moving to land had its advantages  More direct sunlight, increased carbon dioxide, and a greater supply of inorganic material.  However, the land environment also presented challenges.  Plants on land are susceptible to drying out through evaporation.  The Cuticle, a waxy protective covering on plant surfaces that prevents water loss, was one early adaptation to life on land.  Plants that had a small opening in their surfaces, called stomata, were able to survive. Stomata allow the exchange of CO2 and O2

Reproducing by Spores and Seeds  A spore is a haploid reproductive cell surrounded by a hard outer wall.  Spores allow widespread dispersal of the plant species.  Eventually most spores develop into seeds.  A seed is an embryo surrounded by a protective coat.  Some seeds contain endosperm, a tissue that provides nourishment for the developing plant.

Absorbing and Transporting Materials  On land plants absorb nutrients through the soil with their roots.  Plants evolved to contain a specialized tissue known as vascular tissue, which transports water and dissolved substances from one part of the plant to another.  Made up of the  Xylem carries absorbed water and inorganic nutrients in one direction, from the roots to the stems and leaves.  Phloem carries organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, and some inorganic compounds in any direction.

Classifying Plants

 12 phyla can be divided into two groups based on the presence of vascular tissue.  Three phyla of nonvascular plants have neither true vascular tissue nor true roots, stems, or leaves.  Nine phyla of vascular plants have vascular tissue and true roots, stems, and leaves.

Classifying Plants  Notice vascular plants can be further divided into two groups, seedless and seed plants.  Seedless include the phylum of ferns and there phyla made up of plants closely associated with ferns.  Seed plants are plants that produce seed for reproduction including four phyla of gymnosperms and one phylum of angiosperms.

Gymnosperms  Which are pine trees, are seed plants that produce seeds that are not enclosed in fruits.

Angiosperms  Also known as flowering plants, are seed plants that produce seeds within a protective fruit.

Alternating Life Cycles  All plants have a life cycle that includes two phases, which are named for the type of reproduction cells they produce.  Diploid, Haploid  The first phase of the life cycle consists of a diploid (2n) sporophyte plant that produces spores.  The second phase consists of a haploid (1n) gametophyte plant the produces eggs and sperm.  A life cycle that alternates between the sporophyte and gametophyte is called alternation of generations.
