1 Bellringer Think about what you know about plants, and come up with as comprehensive a definition as possible. Name me two very different plants. What makes them different?

2 Classification started in the 1700’s but there is still a lot of work to do!

3 Objective: To go through plants Agenda:
Bellringer Notes Start Tax WS 2 while work is passed back Homework: WS due next class

4 Plants

5 Characteristics of Plants
Eukaryotic Multi-cellular Non-motile Autotrophic

6 4 Different types of plants:
Mosses: No vascular tissue No seeds No flower Ferns: Have vascular tissue Gymnosperms (conifers): Have vascular tissue Have “naked” seeds in cones No flower Angiosperms(flowering plants): Develop seeds in fruits from flowers

7 Land Plants

11 Adaptations of plants Vascular tissue: tubes in plants through which water and sugars move Xylem: carries water Phloem: carries sugar Conserving water: Waxy outer covering called a cuticle Stomata: holes in the cuticle through which CO2 can enter and O2 can leave

12 Seeds A seed is an embryo surrounded by a food supply and protective coat They have the following adaptations Dispersal: seeds have mechanisms to be moved to new locations Nourishment: contain a food supply Dormancy: seeds may lie dormant for years waiting for proper condition

13 Flowers Reproductive structures Draw and label the parts of a flower

14 Pollination Pollen is produced on the anther (a pollen grain has 2 sperm) The pollen lands on the stigma The pollen tube grows down to the ovule One sperm nucleus fertilizes the egg and becomes the embryo The other sperm nucleus fertilizes two extra nuclei in the ovule, developing into the endosperm Endosperm: the nutrients which surround and feed the embryo

15 Fruit A fruit is a mature ovary that contains one or more seeds (based on how many ovules the flower had) It often provides more nourishment for the seed

16 Bellringer “There is fungus amongus”
How many ways can you think of that plants and fungi differ? What is similar about them?

17 Agenda Objective: To introduce Fungus Agenda: Homework:
Bellringer/discussion Notes Grade WS Homework: N/A

18 Kingdom Fungi

19 Characteristics of Fungi
Eukaryotic Mostly multi-cellular NOT similar to the Plant Kingdom Heterotrophic Body made of long filamentous cells called hyphae Has cell walls made of chitin (same as exoskeleton of insects)

20 Structural Info Hyphae grow into a tangled mass called a mycelium
When you see a mushroom, you are seeing the mycelium Fungi is “eating” whatever it is growing on Hyphae secrete enzymes that digest food outside the body, then absorb it The above ground portion is only the reproductive structure

21

22 Mushrooms The reproductive structure Have gills under the mushroom cap
Gills have reproductive cells called basidia Basidia produce spores which birth new mushrooms

23 Mushroom structure CAP STALK GILLS

24 Reproduction in Fungi Each spore becomes a new individual
The spores can withstand a wide temperature/condition range, and will start growing when they land somewhere moist with food present Air currents generally carry them

25 Mutualisms with fungus
Fungus form two important mutualisms with other organisms in nature: Mycorrhizae: fungus grows around the roots of plants, and provides water & minerals while the plant gives sugar from photosynthesis

26 Cont’d Lichens: a fungus growing with an algae (or cyanobacteria)
Fungus absorbs water, algae makes sugar able to grow in deserts and the arctic Considered “environmental indicators” because they are sensitive to the pollutants in the atmosphere. When they die, pollution is likely present
