PLANTAE

Reproductive Mechanism

• Sexual- The stamen produces pollen, the pollen comes in contact with the stigma (tip of pistil) and it moves down to the ovary.– Called pollination

• Asexual- stems arch over and take root at their tips to form new plants, mitosis along leaf sides creates tiny plants that fall off into a new plant, separation of parts from the original plant

Cell Info

• Mostly multicellular• Cell wall of cellulose

Subgroups of Plantae:• Gymnosperms– Cone bearing plants– Needle like leaves– Mostly in Northern

Hemisphere forests and Southern Hemisphere tropics

• Angiosperm– Produce seeds for

reproduction– Common in smaller

plants, flowering plants, and trees

Feeding Mechanism of Plantae:

• Autotrophs!– They get their energy from the sun and atmospheric gases and

create their own food.

• Photosynthesis• Vascular tissues are used to transport water and nutrients

throughout the plant.

Plantae Characteristics:

• Cell walls of cellulose

• Chloroplasts

• No locomotion

• Composed of rootstem, and leaf

Examples of Plantae:

• Mosses• Ferns• Conifers• Flowering plants• Trees
