Explore the fascinating world of plant autotrophs and their vital processes, from photosynthesis to fertilization. Understand the transport system with xylem and phloem, and the significance of pollination and transpiration in plant life cycles.
E N D
Vocabulary • Autotroph: An organism that can make its own food • Fertilization: Joining of a sperm and an egg cell • Phloem: Vascular tubes that carry food throughout the plant • Photosynthesis: the process plants use to produce glucose (food) for themselves and oxygen for the air
Vocabulary • Pollination: the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma in a flower • Transpiration: the releasing of excess water in the form of a gas from the plants leaves • Xylem: vascular tubes that transport water and minerals throughout the plant
Characteristics • Multicellular • Autotrophs or ______________________ • Cells have ____ _____ and _____________ • Colors can be vibrant to attract insects and birds for pollination Producers Cell Wall Chloroplasts
Structure (Fill in Chart) A: Leaf • Site for photosynthesis • Called food factories B: Stem • Support: for the leaves; used in transport • Stores food • Ex: celery
Structure (Fill in Chart) C: Roots • Anchor: holds plant in soil • Absorbs: water and minerals • Some plants store food • Ex: potatoes, carrots, turnips

Photosynthesis • Process by which green plants use carbon dioxide, water, and light energy from the Sun to produce glucose (food) and oxygen • Occurs in the plant’s ______ Leaf
Photosynthesis • Provides most of the atmospheric _____________ • Equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + O2 Oxygen O2 Sunlight ------------------- Chlorophyll
What food do green plants make? • What organelle contains chlorophyll? • What gas in the air is produced by plants? Glucose Chloroplasts Oxygen
Transportation • Phloem-Transports____ from the leaves to the rest of the plant • Xylem-Transports ____ and _______________from the roots to the rest of the plant Food Water Dissolved minerals
Transpiration • Process of _______loss through the plant’s ___________________ Water Leaves----stomata
Flowers Female • Pistil-_______ part of the flower that produces the __________ • Stamen-______ part of the flower that produces the __________________ eggs male Pollen grains--sperm

Flowers Pollination • _____________- transfer of ______ from the stamen to the pistil - How? Wind, insects, birds, bats, even water • ___________- joining of a sperm and an egg cell, occurs after pollination Pollen Fertilization
Flowers • Once the egg is fertilized, it develops into a ______ and the ovary develops into a ______ to protect the seeds • Seeds are dispersed (Spread) by wind, water, gravity, and animals Seed Fruit
Seeds • Structure • A Seed Coat :________ covering • B-Cotyledon: Stored _______ • C-Embryo root • D-First Leaves protective Food Germination – the development of the seed into a plant
Seeds • Conifers-seeds are exposed in a _______ • Angiosperms- _________ plants, seeds are protected in a ________ Cone Flowering Fruit
Ecological Succession • Changes in a community that occurs over a long period of time • Going from a state of grasses to a forest • Example: Burning of Long Island Pine Barrens
