  1. The Kingdom of Plants

  2. Cell Structure of Plants • Plants, like animals, fungus, and protists, are eukaryotic, which means they HAVE • …..a membrane-bound nucleus; and other membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria, Golgi, vacuoles. • Plant cells, like some bacteria and fungi, have a non-living outer covering called the • ……cell wall.

  3. Plant organisms are • Multicellular and • Have division of labor; from simple as in mosses and ferns

  4. Plant organization • Division of labor may be very complex, such as redwoods and apple trees. These trees have systems to gather water, reproduce, store nutrients

  5. Plant reproduction • Flowers are the reproductive organs of many plants, producing seeds in fruit • Coniferous trees produce seeds in cones • Ferns produce spores on their fronds • Mosses produce spores on special stems

  6. Meaning, they don’t move from place to place, but- They have adaptations to spread their genes when their seeds are dispersed. And they DO respond to their environment Such as leaves “leaning” toward the sun, climbing vines, roots that always head downward. Plants are sessile

  7. One thing that really sets plants apart is • Nutrition

  8. Plant NUTRITION • Plants are photosynthetic autotrophs • The pigment chlorophyll (found in chloroplasts in plants) enables the plant to capture the energy of sunlight.

  9. PHOTOSYNTHESIS • The plant uses this energy to produce organic compounds of glucose from inorganic compounds of water and carbon dioxide.

  10. Plants and Humans

  11. Other living organisms • Depend on plants directly or indirectly for food. Lucky for us, they don’t put up a fight when we come to steal the food they made!

  12. On the oxygen produced as a waste product during photosynthesis. Organisms use that oxygen to undergo aerobic respiration, releasing the energy contained in glucose. Life on earth also depends

  13. The cell wall • Is a non-living part of the cell, made of cellulose. When we eat that, we call it “fiber”. • The cell wall persists after the plant dies. We use those cell walls to build things.

  14. We use organisms in the plant kingdom for • Dyes, paper, thread, fabric, shade, fuel • and aesthetics • What????? • Communing with nature, gardening, decorating…….
