Biology Content Standard #10 Plants

Biology Content Standard #10 Plants (And Chapter 22 & 24) ***Create a foldable drawing using Figure 22-7 & Title it “Overview of the Plant Kingdom” Be sure to draw, color and label just as you see the diagram in the book.

*** OUTSIDE: Characteristics of ALL Plants: INSIDE: Multicellular, Have Cell Walls made of CELLULOSE, & Are Eukaryotic; (**Not all plants produce seeds!)

***2 Tabs with colored illustrations on the outside! OUTSIDE: NON-VASCULAR PLANT INSIDE: Plants that lack the vascular system (xylem & phloem) for transporting water & nutrients. Non- vascular plants do not have true roots, stems or leaves. They grow close to the ground and water is transported upward through the plant by osmosis. EX: Mosses, Liverworts, Horworts;

OUTSIDE: VASCULAR PLANT INSIDE: Any plant that has a specialized conducting system consisting mostly of phloem (food conducting tissue) & xylem (water conducting tissue), collectively called vascular tissue. Ferns, gymnosperms (cone- bearing plants), & angiosperms (flowering plants), are all vascular plants.

***2 Tabs with colored illustrations on the outside! OUTSIDE: GYMNOSPERM INSIDE: A seed plant that bears it seeds directly on the surfaces of cones. EX: Gnetophytyes, Cycads, Conifers (evergreens), Ginkgoes;

OUTSIDE: ANGIOSPERM INSIDE: Flowering plants that flower & form fruits with seeds. Seeds are enclosed in a dry or fleshy fruit that develops from an ovary within the flower. The Class angiosperm has two subclasses: monocot & dicot, which differ in the number of “cotyledons” (seed leaf).

***2 Tab (each tab should have several illustrations & labels on the outside…) OUTSIDE: MONOCOT (with parallel vein, floral parts multiple of 6; Seed with one cotyledon, & Scattered vascular bundles drawn, colored and labeled); INSIDE: An angiosperm whose seeds have one cotyledon. (Cotyledeon- first leaf or pair of leaves produced by the embryo of a seed plant).

OUTSIDE: DICOT (with floral parts in multiples of 4 or 5, seed with two cotyledons, branched leaf, vascular bundle in a circle drawn, colored and labeled on the outside..) INSIDE: An angiosperm whose seed has two cotyledons.

***Drawing from CH 24 page 612. “Parts of a Flower” Drawn, colored & labeled…with additional definition tabs for: Stamen: filament, anther; Carpel: stigma, style, ovary, ovule; Petal & Sepal
