11. Non-Vascular Plants Vascular Plants Plant Science Plant Kingdom

12. Plant Science Vascular Plants Flowering Angiosperms Non-flowering Gymnosperms “Others”

13. Plant Science Angiosperms • Monocots • Dicots

14. Plant Science Cotyledons • Monocots • One • Dicots • Two

16. Plant Science Flower Parts • Monocots • Usually in threes • Dicots • Usually four or five

17. Plant Science Vascular System • Monocots • Complex arrangement • Dicots • Arranged in a ring

18. Plant Science Physiological Differences • Monocots are not killed by broadleaf herbicides • Dicots will be killed by broadleaf herbicides

19. Plant Science Response to Herbicides

20. Plant Science Plant Classification • Family - Rosaceae • Genus - Rosa • Specific epithet - hybrida • Cultivar – ‘Nearly Wild’

21. Plant Science Common Names • Goutweed • Bishop’s Weed • Bishop’s Goutweed • Snow on the Mountain

22. Plant Science Binomial Nomenclature • Developed by Carl von Linné in 1753 • Two word name for each plant or animal • Genusname followed by a descriptive name or specific epithet • Together the two words identify a species

23. Plant Science Binomial Nomenclature Aegopodium podagraria ‘Variegatum’

24. Plant Science Cells Tissues Organs What Makes Up a Plant?

25. Plant Science Plant Cell Cell wall Plasma membrane Vacuole Chloroplast Cytoplasm Nucleus

26. Plant Science Cells Tissues Organs

27. Plant Science Plant Tissues • Meristematic • Dermal • Vascular

28. Plant Science Meristematic Tissues • Apical meristem • Located at the tip of a shoot or root • Lateral meristem • Formed in stems and roots of many plants • Allows plant to grow in diameter • Vascular cambium is a lateral meristem

29. Plant Science Dermal Tissue • Epidermis • Cuticle • Stomata • Periderm • Protective covering • Lenticels

30. Plant Science Lenticels

31. Plant Science Vascular Tissue • Xylem • Conduct water and minerals within the plant • Phloem • Move food (carbohydrates) produced by photosynthesis to other parts of the plant
