1. PLANTS
           
           
               
               

2. What is a Plant? Multicellular Cell walls made of cellulose
Have pigments chlorophyll a & b

3. 4 Major Groups- We will learn about 3
Mosses & their Relatives- Non-vascular
Ferns and their Relatives
Cone-Bearing Plants- Gymnosperms
4. Flowering Plants- Angiosperms

4. Plant Life Cycle Go through alternation of generations.
Two phases of their life cycle: sporophyte(2n = diploid) phase and gametophyte(n = haploid) phase
One part of the plant is haploid and one part is diploid

6. Non-Vascular Plants (like mosses)
Transport: specialized tissues and cells (diffusion, active transport) no vascular system!
Excretion: diffusion, active transport
Regulation: none
Respiration: guard cells, stomata
Nutrition: photosynthesis
Synthesis: eukaryotic organelles
Reproduction: alternation of generations (spores) Requires water!!!
Growth and Development: depend on water, grows low and short

7. Gymnosperms: cone-bearing plants
Transport: vascular tissue (xylem & phloem), roots, stems & leaves
Excretion: vascular tissue (xylem & phloem)
Regulation: plant hormones
Respiration: guard cells, stomata
Nutrition: photosynthesis
Synthesis: eukaryotic organelles
Reproduction: alternation of generations ; cones, pollen
Growth and Development: regular growth, need water, light, nutrients

8. Angiosperms: flowering plants
Transport: vascular tissue (xylem & phloem), roots, stems & leaves
Excretion:vascular tissue (xylem & phloem)
Regulation: plant hormones
Respiration: guard cells, stomata
Nutrition: photosynthesis
Synthesis: eukaryotic organelles
Reproduction: alternation of generations; flowers, which if fertilized turn into fruit (flowers have male and female parts!)
Growth and Development: regular growth, need water, light, nutrients

9. Plant vocab to add to your list!
Plant responses:
Phototropism: grows towards light
Geotropism:
stems grow away from gravity
roots grow towards pull of gravity
Thigmotropism: plant grow in reponse to touch (ex. Vine)

10. Things to know for test (not on charts)
Feeding adaptations in plants and animals
Structural Reproductive adaptations
Internal fertilization  eggs  placenta
Adaptations to life on land (structural)
Ex. Legs, wings
