Overview of Plants:
•All plants are multicellular & contain chlorophyll
inside of chloroplasts
•All plants are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms
that reproduce sexually
•Many medicines are produced by plants
•Plants are very diverse & may be terrestrial or
aquatic
•Vary in size from 1 mm in width to more than 328
feet
•May live a few weeks or some over 5000 years
•More than 270,000 plant species identified, but new
species still unidentified in tropical rain forests

Water Vs.Land Plant
Cells
Land plants have a rigid cell wall for support
Water plants cells are less rigid and rely on the
water to give them support.
Roots
Land plants have extensive root
systems to find water, nutrients
footing, roots are also used
storage
Water plants many do not have
and absorb nutrients through leaves
for
and
roots

2 Major Plant Groups:
Vascular & Non-Vascular
Vascular tissue: adapted to carry substances
throughout the organism
Mosses are food for animals & help form soil &
keep it moist.
Nonvascular plants:

NON-VASCULAR PLANTS
 Lack
vascular tissue
 Use osmosis and diffusion to transport
water and nutrients
 Do not have “true” roots, stems, & leaves.
 Reproduce by sperm & eggs formed at the
tip of the “leafy stem”.
 Need water source - grow on land near
streams & rivers
 Small and close to the ground
To Do!
1. Go to back of page 12 and label SEEDS
2. Get a plastic cup and 2 seeds. 1 sunflower seed one
bean seed.
3. On pg 12. create a detailed drawing of both seeds
and put date next to drawing
4. Wet a paper towel (not soaking wet/not dry) put
seeds into paper towel fold and put into cup.
5. Put name on cup and place into bin
6. Complete page 10 and 11 in notebook

Agenda:
Friday 4/19
*Check - Practice worksheets pages 10 and 11 in
notebook
*Check seeds-Water and draw any changes (DETAIL)
*Notes to Gymnosperms and Vascular Plants
Warm Up- -turn in warmup and reflection!
What does the term non-vascular mean?
How do non vascular plants get
nutrients?

Vascular Plants
 Seedless
 Have
– ferns have spores instead of seeds
seeds
– seeds with no covering
 Angiosperms – seeds with covering
 Gymnosperms
Ferns are seedless vascular plants
Ferns reproduce by producing spores on structures on the
undersides of their fronds called sori. The fern plant which is
the sporophyte produces spores which germinate on free
ground growing a prothallus structure (the gametophyte)
where the gametes are produced (sperm and eggs). Because of
the fact sperm must swim from these structures ferns usually
live in damp areas.
