Seed Plants(10.3)
Adaptations for Living on Land: Support Rigid cell walls and vascular tissue strengthen and support large bodied plants
Asexual Reproduction
Moss
Liverwort
Plants appear in the fossil record 400 million years ago. They are thought to have evolved from algae
3 Major Groups
all are low growing must live in moist areas
Mosses
This is the most diverse group of nonvascular plants Rhizoids are thin root-like structures that anchor the moss and absorb water and nutrients
Liverworts
Usually grow on moist rocks or soil along a stream
Hornworts
Usually live in moist soil with grass plants
3 Major Groups
all have true vascular tissue produce spores instead of seeds
Ferns
Have true stems, roots, and leaves Stems grow horizontally underground, leaves grow up and roots grow down Fern leaves are called fronds Spores develop on the underside of mature fronds
Horsetails
Very few species alive today Jointed stems with long, coarse, needlelike branches that grow in a circle
Club Mosses
Have true stems, roots and leaves Usually grow in moist woodlands near streams
Words to Know
Characteristics
Seed
They
Vascular Tissue
Phloem moves food (sugars from photosynthesis) from leaves to other parts of the plant
Xylem moves water and nutrients from roots to stems and leaves
Seed plants produce pollen, tiny structures that contain the cells that will later become sperm cells After sperm cells fertilize the eggs, seeds develop. Seeds protect the young plant inside from drying out.
Seeds
Inside a seed is a partially developed plant. If a seed lands in an area where conditions are favorable, the plant sprouts out of the seed and begins to grow.
Embryo
The young plant that develops from the zygote It has the beginnings of roots, stems, and leaves
Cotyledon
Seed
Seed Coat
Seed Dispersal
Animals (through or on the animal) Water (oceans and rivers) Wind (lightweight seeds with specialized structures) Ejection (ejection force scatters seeds in many directions)

Seed absorbs water from the environment Embryo uses stored food from cotyledons to grow. Roots grow downward Stem and leaves grow upward
Germination
Seeds can be inactive for a while before germination. The conditions need to be just right in order for germination to occur. Seeds tend to do better if they are dispersed further away from their parent because they dont have to compete for light, water, and nutrients.
Roots
Types of Roots
Fibrous roots form a dense, tangled mass. Tap roots form one long, thick main root.
Fibrous Root
Tap Root
Structure of a Root
The root cap protects the root from injury
as the root grows through the soil Root hairs help the plant absorb large amounts of water. Xylem transports water from the root to the rest of the plant. Phloem transports food to the root for storage or to use as energy for growth.
Stems
The stem produces
branches, leaves, and flowers. It carries substances between the plants roots and leaves. The stem also provides support for the plant and holds up the leaves so they are exposed to the sun.
Structure of a Stem
Stems consist of vascular tissue and other
supporting cells. Xylem and Phloem run all the way from roots to leaves and can be scattered randomly or neatly arranged. Stems have nodes that contain bud tissue that can grow into branches, leaves, or flowers.
Herbaceous Stems
These stems do not contain wood and are
usually soft.
Woody Stems
These stems contain several layers of tissue. The outermost layer is bark with a protective layer and a
phloem layer. The next layer is cambium where new vascular tissue is made. Sap wood is active xylem and heartwood is older inactive xylem that provides support. Annual rings represent a trees yearly growth of xylem. The width of a trees annual ring can provide clues about the trees age and the past weather conditions in the area.
Structure of a Leaf
The top and bottom
surfaces protect the inner cells and contain stomata for gasses to pass through. There are veins with vascular tissue between the cells.
Gymnosperm Notes
Chapter 10.5
Words to Know
Gymnosperm Cone Ovule Pollination
Characteristics
All gymnosperms produce naked seeds. In addition, many gymnosperms have needle-like or scale-like leaves, and deep-growing root systems. Cycads, conifers, ginkgoes, and gnetophytes are examples of gymnosperms.
Life Cycle -
Most gymnosperms have reproductive structures called cones with male and female cones on the same tree.
1. Pollination usually by wind 2. Fertilization occurs in the ovule 3. Seed Development female cone remains on tree until seeds are mature 4. Seed Dispersal usually by wind
Female
Male
Words to Know
Characteristics
Sepals:
green protect the developing flower
Stamen
Stamens are the male reproductive parts that produce pollen in the anther
Pistil
Pistils are the female reproductive parts where the sticky stigma catches pollen and the ovary protects the developing seeds after fertilization
Life Cycle
First the pollen falls on the flowers stigma. In time, the sperm cell and egg cell join together in the flowers ovule. The zygote develops into the embryo part of the seed.
Types of Angiosperms
Monocots (one cotyledon) Grasses, corn, wheat, rice, lilies, tulips Flower parts in 3s Long, slender leaves with Parallel veins Vascular tissue is scattered Dicots (two cotyledons) Roses, violets, dandelions, oak, maple trees, beans, apples Flower parts in 4s or 5s Wide leaves with branching veins Vascular tissue is bundled and arranged in a ring
