Chapter 6 Plants There are 350,000 species of plants Features chloroplasts chlorophyll---chemicals that give
plants green color and trap light energy. Plants are producers, lowest life on the
food chain Plants have a stiff cell wall

Vascular plants Tube-like cells
True stems True roots True leaves
![Page 4: Chapter 6 Plants There are 350,000 species of plants Features chloroplasts chlorophyll---chemicals that give plants green color and trap light energy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082611/56649e625503460f94b5dcd0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Types of tube-like cells Xylem cells
Thick walled cells that carry water and dissolved minerals to the leaves
Phloem cells Carry food from the leaves to all parts
of the plant

Nonvascular Plants Moss, liverworts
No true roots No true stems No true leaves
• Life cycle of a moss• Sexual reproduction, union of 2 reproductive
cells• Takes place at the tips of the stems

Ferns Form coal Is a vascular plant Reproduces with spores Because they are a vascular plant
they can grow taller than nonvascular plants. Why?
There are over 12,000 known species of ferns

More on Ferns Ferns are over 300 million years old Have xylem and phloem cells Leaves are divided into tiny leaflets Similar to nonvascular plants in that
they reproduce with spores Refer to the figure 6-7 in chapter 6

Seed plants Most common land plants Reproduce by forming seeds A seed is the part of the plant that contains a new, young plant
and stored food The young plant in the seed is the
embryo

Seed plants continued Seed has a hard outer covering
called the seed coat which protects the embryo
The food supply and the coat help the embryo survive for long periods of time, until conditions are right for growth

Conifers Most common land plants Produces seeds in cones Keep their leaves throughout the
year Sometimes called evergreens Mostly found in the northern areas
of the world
![Page 13: Chapter 6 Plants There are 350,000 species of plants Features chloroplasts chlorophyll---chemicals that give plants green color and trap light energy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082611/56649e625503460f94b5dcd0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Conifers continued Leaves are small and needle-shaped Pine, spruce, fir are examples of
conifers Copy figure 6-10 into your notebook Conifers reproduce with cones, small
cones are male and produce pollen in which sperm develop
Male cones open early in spring

Conifers Continued Wind carries the pollen to the larger
female cones Female cones contain egg cells When the seeds are ripe, the cones dry up
and open and the fertilized seeds fall to the ground
The roots and stems of conifers are hard and woody
Conifers supply ¾ of the lumber that is used in the world

Conifers are not only important to us but they are also a important food source and shelter for animals such as insects, birds, squirrels, rabbits

Flowering Plants Produces seeds inside a flower Flower is the reproductive part of
Produces flowers and forms fruits a plant Male part produces sperm Female part produces the egg Female parts form the fruit that
protects the seeds

Flowering Plants cont. Many broadleaved trees, vegetables,
grasses,weeds and thorn bushes have flowers, not just sweet smelling showy flowers
Many produce flowers at a certain time of year, used for decoration
Some parts you can eat, oranges, potatoes

Flowering Plants Without plants no other animals
would exist All animals depend on plants for
food, and oxygen
