terrestrial
Plants 4 types
- non-vascular
- vascular
- seed, naked
- seed, covered
Non-vascular
-seedless
-mosses (spores)
~24,000

~13,000
Seed, naked
-embryophyta
-gymnosperms
~800

Spore reproduction requirements
- H2O for fertilization
1. protect and nourish multicellular embryo within body of female plants
2. form vascular tissue to distribute nutrients
3. seeds
4. flowers
Plant anatomy functions
- shoot
- root
Shoot function
- photosynthesis
- gas exchange
Root function
- anchor
- water
- minerals
- other macronurtients
3 organs
- roots
- stems
- leaves
Root organ
- anchor
- H2O
- minerals/nutrients
- support
- 3 types
3 root types
- tap roots
- root hairs
- fiberous roots
Stem organ
- structural
- water/sap transport
Leaf organ
-photosynthetic = sunlight + H2O + CO2 -> sugar = ATP + NADPH
3 organ systems
- branches
- flowers
- buds
Buds
- axillary
- apical
Axillary buds
- regenerative
- adaptation to being eaten
Apical buds
-go up vertically
Simple leaves
-single surface
Compound leaves
- finger-like leaflets
- all one leaf
Double compound leaves
- multiple compound leafs
- all one leaf
Leaf type adaptation
-adapted to wind
Plant tissues
- Dermal
- Ground Tissue
- Vascular
Dermal tissue
- covering
- epidermis
- cuticle
- periderm
Cuticle
-waxy secretion
Periderm
-replaces epidermis in woody plants
Ground tissue
- not dermal
- not vascular
- metabolic
- support
Vascular tissue
- xylem = water
- phloem = sap
Epidermal cells
- covering
- support cuticle
- guard cells
Guard cells
- comprise the plant stomata
- keep H2O in
Ground tissue cell types
- Parenchyma
- Collenchyma
- Sclerenchyma
Parenchyma cells
- vast majority of metabolism
- thin cell walls
- most numerous
Collenchyma cells
- thicker cell walls
- arranged in cylinders around periphery of stem
- structural support in areas that have stopped growing
- still flexible
- young (green) shoots
Sclerenchyma cells
- thickest cell walls
- reinforced with lignin
- areas of plant needing the most support
- sclerids
- fibers
Sclerids
- hardness of nutshells
- grittiness of pear fruits (mesocarp)
Fibers
- flax = linen
- hemp = rope
Vascular tissue cell types
- xylem
- phloem
Xylem cells
- dead at maturity
- conduct water
- trachiads
- vessel elements
Phloem cells
- living at maturity
- conduct sap
- sieve tube elements
Vessel Elements
- larger diameter
- perforation plate
Tracheids
- thinner
- more numerous
- connections are called pits
- allow uptake of H2O
Sieve tube elements
- live at maturity
- companion cells
- sieve plates
- thin
Growth
- primary
- secondary
Primary growth
- vertical growth
- meristematic tissue
- apical meristems
Apical meristems
- provide growth
- stem
- branch
- root
Monocot pith (core)
- ground tissue
- cortex- exterior to vascular bundle
- pith- interior to vascular bundle
Secondary growth
- lateral growth
- increase diameter
- “woody” growth
1. vascular cambium
2. cork cambium
Vascular cambium
- secondary xylem
- secondary phloem
Wood
secondary xylem
Cork cambium
-cork cells -> suberin (wax) -> layers (outter dead)
Bark
- secondary phloem
- cork cells
- suberin
- outter layers
Leaf
- photosynthesis
- open stoma in CO2, out O2 and H2O
Sugar movement
Up and down the phloem
Water movement
Up xylem from ground to air
Mycorrhizae
- fungus associate with plant roots
- become extensions of root hairs
- help bring H2O and phosphate to plant
- plant gives it food
