2. START BOTANY Today’s Goal: Homework: Warm-up:
I can explain what I think botany is
I can name 5 different plants I ate over the weekend
I can name 3 different parts of a plant cell and their function
Homework:
Complete definitions on page 6 of your journal
Plant cell vocabulary and diagram quiz on _________________
Warm-up:
Write down tonight’s homework. Then, think about 5 food items that you ate over the weekend that grew out the ground and discuss these items with your table group.

3. BOTANY
What is Botany?
the scientific study of plants, including their physiology, structure, genetics, ecology, distribution, classification, and economic importance

4. FOUR Types of Plants
The first major difference is how material is moved throughout the plant
Nonvascular - no tubing
Vascular- tubing

5. FOUR Types of Plants
The next big difference is, how does a vascular plant create a new plant
Seeds
Seedless-
spores

6. The next difference in vascular seed plants is what surrounds the seed
FOUR Types of Plants
The next difference in vascular seed plants is what surrounds the seed
Angiosperms-
flesh surrounding seed
Gymnosperms-
naked seed plants

7. Plant Classification Plants Vascular Nonvascular Seeds Seedless
Photosynthesis
Multicellular
Autotrophic
Cell wall
Waxy cuticle
Sexual Repro.

Reproduce with spores
Obtains food and water through diffusion only (no tubing)

8. Distribution of Plant Types

9. Characteristics of All Plants
Makes food from sunlight- chlorophyll (a green pigment) found in chloroplasts captures sunlight
Photosynthesis 
Multicellular 
Autotrophic 
Cuticle
Cell wall 
Sexual Reproduction
Made up of many cells
make their own food using chlorophyll (through photosynthesis)
A waxy coat that covers plants and keeps them from drying out
Supports and protects plant cells; made of cellulose
A fertilized egg creates spores or seeds

10. Organelles of a Plant Cell
A. organelles
Mini “organs” within the cell
B. cell wall
Rigid outer structure of the cell; made of cellulose
C. cell membrane
Flexible layer within the cell wall; allows materials in and out (semi-permeable)
D. cytoplasm
Liquid gel within the membrane
E. vacuole
Water storage
F. nucleus
Holds the DNA
G. chloroplasts
Green organelles that perform photosynthesis
H. mitochondria
Produces energy for the cell in the form of ATP

chloroplasts

12. Leaf cells under a regular light microscope (400x)
Real Plant Cells
A single plant cell under the high magnification of an electron microscope
Remember, a lot of these organelles are hard to see under a light microscope because they are clear.

Always carry a microscope with one hand holding the arm and one hand under the base.

14. Light Microscope
Low power
40 X
Medium power
100 X
High power
400 X

15. Comparing Powers of Magnification
We can see better details with higher the powers of magnification, but we cannot see as much of the image.
Which of these images would be viewed at a higher power of magnification?

16. How to make a wet-mount slide …
1 – Get a clean slide and coverslip from your teacher.
2 – Place ONE drop of water in the middle of the slide. Don’t use too much or the water will run off the edge and make a mess!
3- Get one piece of Elodea from Ms. Nagle and place in the middle of your drop of water
4 – Place the edge of the cover slip on one side of the water drop.
5- Slowly lower the cover slip on top of the drop.
Cover Slip
Lower slowly
5 – Place the slide on the stage and view it first with the red-banded objective (low power). Once you see the image, you can rotate the nosepiece to view the slide with the different objectives.

17. When you get to your station…
1 – Turn on the microscope and then rotate the nosepiece to click the low power objective lens into place (make sure stage is all the way down).
2 – Place a slide on the stage and secure it using the stage clips. Use the coarse adjustment knob (large knob) to get it the image into view and then turn the nose piece to medium power.
3 – Now use a combination of the coarse adjustment knob first (large knob) and then the fine adjustment knob (small knob) to get it the image into view and then turn the nose piece to high power.
4 – NOW YOU ARE IN HIGH POWER AND ONLY USE THE FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOB (THE SMALL KNOB). Use the fine adjustment knob to get the image in focus and then draw what you see on your worksheet.
5 – When your group is done, turn off the microscope, move to smallest objective lens, lower the stage and clean the slides you used.

18. Journal - Plant Cells (Elodea)
Make a wet mount slide and observe the Elodea under the microscope.
Draw a EIGHT to TEN plant cells from what you see in the microscope.
