Mitosis is the division of a haploid (n) or diploid (2n) cell into two duplicate daughter cells.

Meiosis is a special kind of cell division in which the chromosome number is reduced in half.

What is a plant?
From Latin “Planta” Sole of foot
1. Multicellular (differentiated cells)
2. Has haploid spores (n)
3. Embryo develops inside of female
part of plant
4. Mostly photosynthetic (have green
chlorophyll) except some parasites,
like Indian Pipes and Beach Drops
5
A Plant is (Cont.):
5.Except for certain aquatic plants
plants have the following adaptations
to reduce water loss on land:
A. Waxy Cuticle covers stem and
leaves – Stomata let air and water in

6
A Plant is (Con’t.)
B. Spores and seeds dispersed
by wind and animals
C. Roots anchor the plant and
help absorb water and nutrients
7
A Plant is (Con’t.)
D. Have STEMS for support and
transport of materials within the
plant:
Vascular Plants (All but Moss which stay
short and wet) have:
• Xylem tubes to carry water and
nutrients up
• Phloem tubes to carry sugar down
8
Actually – Fungi called Mycorrhizae
cover or enter the roots of
most true plants to assist
the plant with absorption of
water and nutrients (esp.
phosphorus) (roots similar to Lichens)

A Plant is (Con’t.)
These Mycorrhizae are SO important
that the may explain:
• why certain plants can live in certain
soils only
• why soil must be moved with the roots
• why citrus trees require more water
and fertilizer when treated with
fungicides
• Why air pollution kills forests (it kills this fungus)
10
A Plant is (Con’t.)
E. Growth regions at the tips of stems
and roots to maxamize the use of soil,
air and light

Modern classification system
3 Domains (Bacteria (Prokaryote, Moneran with
peptidoglycan cell walls),
Archaea (Prokaryote, Moneran with no
peptidoglycan), Eukarya (with nucleus
(Eukaryote) and with cell walls absent or of
cellulose or chitin.
6 Kingdoms (Eubacteria (Domain Bacteria – typical
bacteria, NO membrain organelles),
Archaebacteria (Domain Archaea
– live in severe conditions: hot springs, salt
pools, no O2, NO membrane organelles),
Protista (all not in the other 5), Fungi (chitin
cell walls, no chloroplasts), Plant (cellulose
cell walls with chloroplasts), and Animal (no
cell walls or chloroplasts).
12
Phylum (Animals only)– Divisions for
the rest!!
Plant examples: Division Bryophyta
and Division Tracheophyta)
Class (Coniferinae and Angiospermae)
Order (Most important for animals)
Family (-idea for animals
-aceae for plants)
Genus (1 word)
(Acer = Maple)
Upper case, Underline
Species (2 words)
1st (upper case & underline) = the Genus
2nd (lower case & underline) = the specific epithet

Fern Fiddleheads
Some species have edible
fiddleheads (BUT you MUST learn
which are first!!)

Now obtain a pine cone
Open up the lower cone leaves
and attempt to find a seed.
(the pine seeds from some of
our western pines have very
large seeds and are sold for
Food as “Pine Nuts”

Class Angiospermae
Angiosperms
Vascular Plants with Flowers,
And seeds inclosed in fruits
25
Why Angiosperms took over:
A. Animals helped in
reproduction due to
flowers and fruits
B. Fruits protect seeds

Now get out the flower
you picked outside
Find and sketch the following
Stamen, anther, filament,
Pistil,stigma, style & ovary
Petals, sepals and receptacle

Angiosperms are divided into
Two large Subclasses:
A. Monocots – often smaller plants
B. Dicots – often larger plants
30
How do these 2
Subclasses differ?

Now, Please obtain a corn Fruit
And a Bean Seed
Open each carefully as I talk
you through the procedure.
Sketch and label the Cotyledon(s)
and Embryo in both cases.
33
What do you believe to be
the purpose of the Cotyledon(s)
and the Endosperm?
34
If you said:
“Protection” and “Food”
you are GOOD!!!!

Next, let’s talk about 7
common local Plant Families
And their general characteristics.
36
Fabaceae
Family Fabaceae: Legume Family
http://academic.reed.edu/biology/Nitrogen/Nfix1(legumes).html
Nitrogen fixation occurs in
the root nodules that contain
bacteria (Bradyrhizobium for
soybean, Rhizobium for
most other legumes
Pea, alfalfa, clover,
common bean, peanut,
lentil and Redbud trees
are examples.
