AN OVERVIEW OF PLANTS 9-1
CAMILA FLORES
BLOCK:B
MARCH
This template can be used as a starter file for presenting training materials in a group setting.
Sections
Sections can help to organize your slides or facilitate collaboration between multiple authors. On the Home tab under Slides, click Section, and then click Add Section.
Notes
Use the Notes pane for delivery notes or to provide additional details for the audience. You can see these notes in Presenter View during your presentation.
Keep in mind the font size (important for accessibility, visibility, videotaping, and online production)
Coordinated colors
Pay particular attention to the graphs, charts, and text boxes.
Consider that attendees will print in black and white or grayscale. Run a test print to make sure your colors work when printed in pure black and white and grayscale.
Graphics, tables, and graphs
Keep it simple: If possible, use consistent, non-distracting styles and colors.
Label all graphs and tables.

2. What is a Plant?
Plants are living organisms belonging to the kingdom PLANTAE.
In the world there are 260,00 – 300,000 plant species discovered

3. PLANT CHARACTERISTICS
Size: from microscopic water ferns to giant sequoia trees
Most have roots or rootlike structure that hold them.
All plants need water to survive.
Give a brief overview of the presentation. Describe the major focus of the presentation and why it is important.
Introduce each of the major topics.
To provide a road map for the audience, you can repeat this Overview slide throughout the presentation, highlighting the particular topic you will discuss next.

4. PLANT CELLS
Plant cells have everything that an animal cell has, but in addition has a cell wall, chloroplast, and a central vacuole
Cell Wall: provides structure and protection for plant cells.
Chloroplast: is where photosynthesis takes place.
Central Vacuole: large membrane-bound structure, it regulates the water in the cell and many substances are stored there such as the pigments and more.

5. ORIGIN and EVOLUTION of PLANTS
1st plants maybe could survive only in damp areas.
Their ancestor where probably green algae.

6. LIFE ON LAND
More sun and carbon dioxide-needed for photosynthesis

7. ADAPTATIONS to LAND Protection and Support: water is important
Reproduction: Water-resistant spores help SOME plants reproduce. Other plants adapt by producing water-resistant seeds in cowns or in flowers that develop in fruit

8. CLASSIFICATION of PLANTS
The plant kingdom is classified into major divisions = phylum.
Other way to classify them is vascular and non vascular
Vascular Plants: have tubelike structures that carry substances.
Nonvascular Plants: Don’t have tubelike structures and use other ways to move water and other substances.

9. NAMING PLANTS
Carlos Linneaeus developed a system to call plants binominal nomenclature, under this system each plant has a two-word name just like: #1 white oak tree=Quercus alba, and #2 Pecan Tree=Carya illinoiensis #1 #2
