1st plants appeared 440 million years ago
(simple structures and no leaves)
Plants need 5 things to survive:
Water

 Minerals
 Gas exchange
 Transport of water and nutrients
through plant body

Cuticle

waxy waterproof
coating
Made of lipids (do
not dissolve in
water)

water loss from
plant
Leaves

photosynthesis
occurs
Roots

help transport food,
water, and other
materials throughout
the plant

Alternation of Generations


Lives of plants include 2 stages
 Development of gametes (sex cells)

where sperm is produced
 Archegonium: female structure
where eggs are produced
Fertilization

unevenly
thickened cell
walls
