  1. Plant DiversityChapter 22

  2. What is a Plant? • Plants are the base for the food chain on land. • Provide shade, shelter and oxygen • Evolved more than 470 million years ago • Multicellular, Eukaryotes • Cell walls made of cellulose • Photosynthesis using chlorophyll a and b • Most are autotrophs; few parasites + saprobes • Ex. Trees, shrubs, grasses, mosses and ferns

  3. Life Cycle • Haploid (N)-Gametophyte; gamete-producing • Diploid (2N)-Sporophyte; spore-producing • Produce a new individual by mitosis • All plants have both phases, but in different forms • Can reproduce independently of water • Some also reproduce asexually (vegetative)

  4. MEIOSIS Haploid Diploid FERTILIZATION Generalized Plant Life Cycle Section 22-1 Spores(N) Sperm(N) Eggs(N) Go to Section:

  5. Plant Survival • Sunlight • Water and Minerals • Taken up through the roots • Movement of Water/Nutrients • Make food in their leaves • Water and nutrients carried upward through tissue from soil • Gas Exchange

  6. Early Plants • Evolved from multicellular green algae • First plants were dependent on water • Similar to today’s mosses in structure and growth close to the ground • Evolved different adaptations for terrestrial environments

  7. Cone-bearingplants Ferns andtheir relatives Seeds Water-Conducting(Vascular) Tissue Cladogram of Plant Groups Section 22-1 Go to Section:

  8. Overview of the Plant Kingdom • Divided into four groups based on water-conducting tissues, seeds and flowers • Reproductive structures and body plan are also considered • Compare DNA sequences of various species • Deep Green (1994)-Evidence that first plants evolved from green algae that lived in fresh water

  9. The Diversity of Plants Section 22-1 Cone-bearing plants760 species Floweringplants235,000 species Ferns andtheir relatives11,000 species Mosses andtheir relatives15,600 species Go to Section:

  10. Bryophytes Nonvascular plants 1) Mosses (in swamps) • Can live in harsh environments • Rhizoid-long, thin cells absorb water and minerals and anchor them to the ground 2) Liverworts and 3) hornworts • Use osmosis to draw up water • Water needed for reproduction • Act as natural sponge and form peat moss

  11. Bryophytes • Mosses Liverworts Hornworts • http://www.ghettodriveby.com/hornworts/

  12. Seedless Vascular Plants • Vascular tissue-Specialized to conduct water and nutrients thought he body of the plant • Xylem-form of vascular tissue that carries water upward from the roots to every part of the plant • Phloem-transports solutions of nutrients and carbohydrates from photosynthesis • Tree rings in the lower trunk indicate the tree age • Formed by cell division in thin layers inside bark • Width of the bands indicate environmental conditions for each year (Ex. Drought conditions)

  13. Ferns • Evolved 350 million years ago • Roots-Underground organs to absorb water and minerals with water-conducting tissue • Leaves-Photosynthetic organ that contain bundles of vascular tissue • Veins-Made of xylem and phloem • Stems-Connect roots and leaves

  14. Seed Plants • Gymnosperms-Seeds on cone surfaces • Conifers, Cycads, Ginkgoes and gnetophytes • Angiosperms-Flowering plants with seeds in tissue layers • Flowers or cones transfer sperm by pollination and protect embryos in seeds • Life cycle alternates between gametophytes and sporophyte

  15. Seed coat Seed Embryo Storedfood supply The Structure of a Seed Section 22-4 B A Go to Section:

  16. Reproduction without Water • Cones-sporophyte structures which are seeding bearing for gymnosperms • Flowers-Seed-bearing structure of angiosperms • Pollen Grains-Contain male gametophytes • Seeds-Embryo of seed plant with seed coat and food supply • Eaten and dispersed by animals or stick to their fur • Fossils from 30 million years ago

  17. A Bee With Pollen On It’s Leg

  18. Gymnosperms • Cone Bearers / “naked seed” • Gnetophytes: a) Ex. Welwitschia-Namibian desert with large, leathery leaves; spread across the ground • Cycads- (Cycadophyta): a) Palm-link plants with large cones b) Appeared during Triassic Period (225 million years ago) c) Grow in tropical and subtropical places

  19. Welwitschia mirabilis,a Gnetophyte. And Zamia pseudoparasitica,a Cycad.http://www.conifers.org/pinophyta.htm

  20. Gymnosperms • Ginkgoes-Only Ginkgo biloba currently exists • One of the oldest seed plant species alive today • Cultivated in China and planted around temples • Often planted in urban settings in U.S. due to resistance to air pollution • Conifers-(Coniferophyta) • Ex. Pines, spruces, firs, cedars, sequoias, redwoods • Long, thin leaves (Ex. Pine needles)-reduces surface area, waxy layer • Most are “evergreens” with cycling of needles

  21. Ginkgo and Pseudotsuga menziesii,a Conifer. http://www.conifers.org/pinophyta.htm

  22. Angiosperms • Phylum Anthophyta “enclosed seed” • Cretaceous Period (135 million years ago) arrival • Dominate Earth’s plant life • Reproduce with flowers or fruits • Ovary develops into fruits to protect seed and for dispersal • Fruit-thick wall of tissue surrounding the seed

  23. Seed Dispersal By Wind And General Flower Structurehttp://science.kennesaw.edu/biophys/biodiversity/plants/plpix5.htm

  24. Monocots and Dicots • Cotyledons-Seed leaves in the plant embryo • Monocots-One seed leaf, parallel veins, multiples of 3 floral parts, vascular bundles scattered and fibrous roots • Dicots-Two seed leaves, branched veins, multiples of 4 or 5 floral parts, vascular bundles in a ring and a taproot

  25. Single cotyledon Two cotyledons Parallel veins Branched veins Floral parts often in multiples of 3 Floral parts often in multiplesof 4 or 5 Vascularbundlesscattered throughout stem Vascularbundlesarranged ina ring Fibrous roots Taproot Comparison ofMonocots and Dicots Section 22-5 Monocots Dicots Seeds Leaves Flowers Stems Roots Go to Section:

  26. Monocots and Dicotshttp://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/BioBookPLANTANATII.html

  27. Diversity of Angiosperms • Wood plants made of cells with thick cell walls (Trees, shrubs and vines) • (Ex. Grapes and Ivy vines) • (Ex. Blueberries and rose bushes) • Herbaceous plants-No wood production as they grow (Ex. Dandelions, zinnias, sunflowers and petunias)

  28. Rose Bush, Grape Vine, Zinnias and Petuniashttp://www.flowers.vg/flowers/petunia01.htm

  29. Diversity of Angiosperms • Annuals-Complete a life-cycle within one growing season • (Ex. Marigolds, petunias, pansies, zinnias, wheat and cucumbers) • Biennials-Complete their life cycle in 2 years • Year 1-germinate and grow roots & very short stems • Year 2-Grow new stems and leaves and produce flowers and seeds • (Ex. Primrose, parsley, celery) • Perennials-Live for more than 2 years • (Ex. Asparagus, grasses-herbaceous stems) • (Ex. Maple trees-wood stem)
