Is this a plant?
All plants…
• Eukaryotic & multicellular
• Are producers – an organism that makes its
own food by using an outside energy source
(the sun)
• Have cell walls (organelle only in plants)
• Have chloroplasts (organelle only in plants)
What is a cell wall?
• Provides support and protection
• Made of cellulose and lignin
What is a chloroplast?
Organelle that converts light energy to chemical
energy through a process called photosynthesis
(we’ll talk about that later)
How can plants be classified?
Lets create a classification map (tree map)
Classification of plants
plants
vascular
Contains specialized
tubes that transport
water & nutrients
Non-vascular
Does not contain
vascular tissue
plants
vascular
Contains specialized
tubes that transport
water & nutrients
non-vascular
Does not contain
vascular tissue
Seedless
•Reproduces by spores
(needs water)
•No flowers
•No roots (have rhizoids)
•No cuticle
•Small in size
•Examples: liverworts,
mosses, hornworts,
bryophytes
Non-Vascular Seedless Plants
• Rhizoids helps to anchor
plant
• Gets water and
nutrients by osmosis
and diffusion

Vascular Seedless Plants
• Contain vascular tissue in root, stem and
leaves.
• Vascular tissue is tube structures that
transport water and nutrients.
• Examples include Tree ferns, club moss and
horsetail.

other items
•Seeds as part of a
fruit
•Fruit grows from

Sunflower
Lady Slipper Orchid
Pumpkins
Angiosperms
• Grow in a variety of habitats
• Most food eaten by humans comes from
angiosperms or animals that eat angiosperms.
• Other items such as clothing, medicine,
building materials.
• Flowering plants

Ovule
The part of the
ovary that
becomes the seed

Photosynthesis
• A series of chemical reactions that convert
light energy, water and carbon dioxide into the
food-energy molecule glucose and give off
oxygen.
• Occurs in the chloroplasts of a plant cell
• Chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll,
a chemical that absorbs and reflects light.
• Leaves appear green because the chlorophyll
reflects green light and absorbs all the other
colors of light.
Photosynthesis
6CO₂ + 6H₂O

Cellular Respiration
• A series of chemical reactions that convert the
energy in the chemical bonds in food
molecules into a useable form of energy that
cells can use called ATP.
• Cellular Respiration takes place in the
mitochondrion of the cells in ALL (plants,
animals, bacteria, fungi, etc.) living things.
Cellular Respiration- ATP
• All living organisms require energy (usable
power) to survive.
• ATP= (adenosine triphosphate)
• ATP is the energy used for all cellular
processes (everything the every cell does)
• Example: muscle contraction uses 2 million
ATP molecules per second. Without ATP we
would die.

What are mangroves?
Mangroves are various kinds of trees and shrubs
that grow in saltwater habitats in the tropics
and subtropics.
Location of Mangroves around the world

Activity
• Cut out Mangrove article and paste on
right side of notebook
• Number paragraphs
• Circle at 4-6 vocabulary words per
paragraph (pick one color)
• Read article, underline any important
information (another color - no more than
8 words per underline)
Create a “1 – Pager”
• On the left side of the INB (use different color for each)
• Make a boarder with all the vocabulary words you circled in the
article
• In the top ¼ of the page - create a title
• Next ¼ draw a picture to represent what you read
• Pick most important vocabulary words and make a mini boarder
around your picture.
• Choose the most important quote from the words that your
underlined and rewrite it in the next ¼
• In the last ¼ of the page, create 1 (or more) higher order
thinking question based on the reading…and….
• Answer the HOT question
Share….
• Take 3 sticky notes and write your name on
them.
• Visit 3 other notebooks and look at their 1pager
• Leave your sticky notes on the pages you view
