  1. Chapter 21.1 Plant evolution and Adaptations

  2. Plant Characteristics • Multicellular • Autotrophic • Eukaryotes • Tissues and organs

  3. Green Algae to Plants • Scientists think modern plants may have evolved from Green Algae because of similar characteristics…

  4. I Spy…What are the differences between these two Autotrophs? Green Algae Giant Redwood

  5. Similarities of Plants and Algae • Cell walls w/ Cellulose • Same type of Chlorophyll • Food stored as starch • Enzymes in vesicles • Similar genes in rRNA • Cell division w/ cell plate Similar but not the same

  6. What do you think plants needed to adapt to life on land? • A: Bones of course • B: Reproduce by air and land… not water • C: Fed Ex sends weekly care packages of water • D: Wet suit… the air dries me out!

  7. 4 Plant Adaptations to Land • Cuticle • Prevents drying out • Barrier to microbes

  8. 4 Plant Adaptations to Land • Stomata • Allows for gas exchange

  9. 4 Plant Adaptations to Land • Vascular tissue • Allows for movement of nutrients & water • Provides support

  10. 4 Plant Adaptations to Land • Seeds • Survive harsh conditions • Food for developing embryo

  11. Alteration of Generations • Gametophyte produces haploid (n) gametes • Sporophyte produces diploid (2n) spores

  12. Kingdom Plantae Nonvascular • Bryophytes- Moss • Antherocerophytes- Hornworts • Hepaticophytes- Liverworts Vascular without seeds • Lycophytes- Club mosses • Spenophytes - Horsetails • Pterophytes- Ferns Vascular with seeds • Cycadophytes- Cycads of sago plants • Gnetophytes- Joint firs • Ginkophytes- Ginkgoes • Coniferophytes- Pines • Anthophytes- Flowering plants

  13. Chapter 21.2 Nonvascular Plants

  14. Nonvascular Plants • Small • Requires water • Found in damp, shady areas

  15. 3 Divisions of Non- vascular plants • Bryophyta- Moss • Anthocerophyta- Hornworts • Hepaticophyta- Liverworts • Gametophyte is dominant

  16. Division Bryophyta • One cell thick leaf-like structures • Rhizoids for anchorage • Peat – used for fuel, retain moisture for gardeners Moss

  17. Division Anthocerophyta • One large chloroplast in each cell • May have symbiotic relationship with cyanobacteria Hornwort

  18. Division Hepaticophyta • Unicellular rhizoids • Thallose – fleshy, lobed structures • Leafy – stems with thin leaf-like structures in rows liverwort

  19. Thallose vs LeafyTwo kinds of Liverwort Leafy Thallose

  20. Chapter 21.3 Seedless Vascular Plants

  21. Seedless Vascular Plants • Have Vascular Tissue • Larger than Non-vascular • Better adapted to drier environments • Strobilus – spore bearing structure • Sporophyte is dominant • Division Lycophyta and Pterophyta (Sphenophyta)

  22. Division Lycophyta • Sporophyte is dominant • Have roots, stems, and small, scaly leaf-like structures • Some are epiphytes – lives anchored to another plant or object • Club mosses

  23. Division Pterophyta/Sphenophyta • Horsetails or scouring rushes • Cell walls of silica • Only one genus = Equisetum • Horsetails - Equisetum

  24. Division Pterophyta • Thick underground stem – rhizome (food storage) • Fronds with sporangia underneath (sorus) ferns

  25. Chapter 21.4 Vascular Seed Plants

  26. Vascular Seed plants • Vascular tissue • Cotyledons – food storage for embryo • Seed dispersal • Wind, water, animal • Sporophyte- dominant life cycle • Male gametophyte: Pollen • Female gameophyte: Egg • Produce Seeds • Gymnosperms: “Naked Seed” without fruit. Ex: Pines, fir trees • Angiosperms: Seeds are part of the fruit Ex: Apples, peaches, blackberries

  27. 5 Divisions of Seed Plants • Division Cycadophyta • Division Gnetophyta • Division Ginkgophyta • Division Coniferophyta • Division Anthophyta

  28. Division Cycadophyta • Separate male and female plants • Found in tropical and subtropical environments • Cycad

  29. Division Gnetophyta • Live 1500 – 2000 years • 3 genera • Ephedra – bush • Ephedrine medicine • Found in US • Gnetum - trees & climbing vines • Welwitschia – two large leaves

  30. Division Ginkophyta • One living species: • Ginkgo biloba • Fan shaped leaves • Separate male and female trees • Tolerate pollution

  31. Division Coniferophyta • Shrubs and trees • Economically useful • Lumber, paper, turpentine • Male and female cones on same tree • Scalelike leaves with cutin • Evergreen – lose leaves throughout the year

  32. Leaves • Evergreen- Keep some green leaves all year • Deciduous- Lose leaves once a year

  33. Division Anthophyta • Flowering plants

  34. Angiosperms

  35. 2 kinds of angiosperms • Monocots • One seed leaf • Parallel veins in leaves • Flowers in multiples of 3s • Monocot examples: grasses, orchids, lilies, and palms • Dicots/Eudicots • Two seed leaves • Netted veins in leaves • Flowers in multiples of 4s or 5s • Dicot examples: maples, oaks, sycamores • Eudicot examples: trees, shrubs, flowering plants

  36. Life span of plants • Annual - live for one year • Most are herbaceous (green stems) • Have drought resistant seeds • Examples: corn, wheat, peas, and squash • Biennial - live for two years • Have large storage roots • Produce flowers in the second year • Examples: carrots, beets, and turnips • Perennial – live for many years • Usually flower once a year • Examples: maples and oaks
