Plantae Characteristic & Classification Flashcards
is plantae a eukaryotic or prokaryotic
eukaryotic
What is their cell wall made out of
cellulose
Heterotroph/Autotroph and from where do plants get their nutritions from
autotroph aka photosynthesis
(6CO2 + 6H20 -> C6H12O6 +6O2)
(Carbon dioxide + Water -> Glucose + Oxygen)
is there any plants that are unicellular
no, all are multicellular (macrosopic)
mention other characteristic of plantae
they are immobile and mostly terminal (land)
what is the main role of plantae
producer and provide o2 from photosynthesis
how are plants divided
non vascular and vascular
characteristic of non vascular
no xylem and no phloem. they reproduce by spores
characteristic of vascular
they have xylem and phloem
mention the classifications
bryophyta, pteridophyta, spermatophyta, gymnospermae, angiospermae
What does xylem and phloem do
Xylem: Transport water from root to leave
Phloem: Transport sucrose from leaves to all parts of plants
mention characteristic of bryophyta
- non vascular: no xylem & no phloem
- no true roots/stems/leaves but have thallus for all of it (Thalophyta)
- Reproduce using spores and gametes,
- Live in moist area
mention characteristics of pleridophyta
- Vascular: Has xylem & phloem
- True roots/stem/leaves
- Seedless (Reproduce with spores)
- Has fiddlehead (circinatus) on young leaves
-Live in Cold, Dry, Moist, even salty area
mention characteristics of Gymnospermae
- Vascular
- Producing seeds in reproduction
- Naked seed (Not protected by fruit)
- Reproduce using Storodilli (cone)
- Usually has a needle like leaves
- Found mostly in cold & high environment
What are the 4 types of Gymnospermae
Cycadophyta
Ginkgophyta
Gnetophyta
Coniferophyta/Pinophyta
What are the characteristics and example of Cycadophyta (Cycads)
- Rossete Plants
- Separate male and female plants
Ex: Cycas Rumpii
What are the characteristics and example of Ginkgophyta
- Lobed Leaves
- Separate male and female plants
Ex: Ginkgo Biloba
What are the characteristics and example of Gnetophyta
- Simple Leaves
- Male and female exist in same plant
Ex: Gnetum Gnemon
What are the characteristics and example of Coniferophyta/Pinophyta
- Needle-like Leaves
- Male and female exist in same plant
Ex: Pinus Merkusii (Pine Tree)
mention characteristics of Angiospermae (Flowering Plants)
- Vascular Plants
- Produce seed
- Seed is enclosed and protected by fruits
- Reproduce using flower
- Most successful group of plants
What are angiospermae’s divided into
- Monocot (1 Seed)
- Dicot (2 Seed)
What are the characteristics of Monocot. Cotyledon, Flower, Roots, Leaf, Pollen, Stem
- Cotyledon: 1
- Flower: Multiples of 3
- Roots: Fibrous Roots
- Leaf: Parallel Leaf Veins
- Pollen: Polen Grain has 1 pore or furrow
- Stem: Vascular bundles throughout stem’s around tissue
What are the characteristics of Dicot. Cotyledon, Flower, Roots, Leaf, Pollen, Stem
- Cotyledon: 2
- Flower: Multiples of 4 or 5
- Roots: Taproots
- Leaf: Netlike Leaf Veins
- Pollen: Polen Grain has 3 pore or furrow
- Stem: Arranged in a ring
Pollination in Angiospermae
- Birds are attracted to red flowers
- Beed can see colors that human cant
- Moth-pollinated flowers are white and bloom at night
- Many insects are attracted to odors, one species smells like rotting meat and its pollinated by flies
