Ch Topics
A. BOX: Biology & Society:
Plant Cloning/Feast & Famine
Note: while animal cloning is a political
issue, plant cloning is not:
Embryonic
stem cells are throughout plants, always: layering,
sucker,
def, cutting
Irish Potato Famine: potato was cloned
by
separating the eyes:
few resisted the blight
B. The
Structure (&
Function) of a Flowering Plant
organ =
root/stem/leaf/flower/fruit/seed, each contains more than one tissue
tissue
= a few different but related kinds of cell form each
tissue
C. Plant
Growth: primary growth is in length, secondary growth is in width
D. The Life Cycle of a Flowering Plant
(done in Lab Ex 11)
B. Structure &
Function: Flowering Plant: Resource,
Farabee,
Course.
- Know five monocot
& dicot differences (4) + root
systems: tap (dicot) vs fibrous (monocot)
- Roots &
shoots: root vascular bundles are central, shoot: peripheral or
scattered, fig 3. slides,
course
- Pinching back > bushy plant > removes apical dominance,
fig 4, hormone Ch 29, bonsai?
- Define
a taproot,
runner,
rhizome, tuber, and tendril
fig 5 & 6, adaptations
- Plants & animals are different from
prokaryotes, most protists (seaweeds?) & fungi (fruiting body?):
- a) evolution: plants
experienced a few, animals ~10 great leaps forward
- b) they
developed different tissues
- specialized cells with different functions
- Cells (5 types, but there are more):
- 1)
parenchyma: living
plant cell, em:
most of vegetable/fruit that is eaten: leaves, stems, roots
- 2)
collenchyma:
has secondary cell wall, in roots & stems, more support
3)
sclerenchyma:
think of a brazil nut shell or grit in a pear, fig 10, lignin, histology,
more
images & lateral root develops from vascular stem cells/cambium
- 4) xylem:
dead linked cells "capillary tubes", transport water &
minerals/salts from roots to leaves
- 5)
phloem:
living cells (sieve tube & companion) transport sugar/organics
solution from source to sink
- These cell types are used to make
- Three
tissue
systems: fig 11 (all plant), 12 (root), 13 (leaf), & shoot below
- 1) dermal/epidermis: cover & protect plant:
waterproof cuticle (scroll),
leaf stomata, root hairs
- 2) vascular: xylem & phloem
- 3) ground: parenchyma, cholen- & scleren- fig
9, 10 & 11.

CHECKPOINT p 627:
1. Differences between dicot & monocot: seed leaves, roots, shoots,
flower petals, leaves
2. Why may prunning increase yeild?
3. Which cell types can give rise to which?:
collenchyma,
scelerenchyma, parenchyma
(AE),
water-conducting cells? phloem is ok,
4. Which tissue sytem: covers & protects?, site of photosynthesis
& storage?, transports materials?
C. Plant Growth: dicot
embryo,
Bristlecone
pine,
- plant growth
is indeterminate, but
animal is determinate,
- annuals,
biennials, &
perennials: fig 14
- meristems:
apical makes primary growth of 1) shoots, 2) axillary buds/image, &
3) roots: fig 15,16,
apical meristems
> 3
primary
meristems (concentric cylinders of dividing cells) > 2 secondary
meristems: - 1)
protoderm produces surface epidermis, an end-point.
2)
procambium produces xylem & phloem, & > vascular
cambium: inner
yellow ring
3) ground meristem produces parenchyma/pith & > cork cambium: outer
yellow ring
- secondary
(vascular & cork cambiums) > lateral growth, fig 24,
- vascular
cambium > apical meristem! in root:
- also true when a stem lies
on the ground: produces entire new plant
CHECKPOINT p 632:
1. What name for a
plant that does not produce flowers until its second year of growth?
2. What two basic
cellular processes account for primary growth?
3. What type of plant
tissue makes up wood? & bark?
D. The
Life Cycle of a Flowering Plant - Lab Ex 3.6 - dual
fertilization: fig 15,16, embryo
fig 18
- Describe the parts of a flower and their
functions: fig 13, scroll
to flower
- Relate this structure to the life cycle of an
angiosperm: fig 14.
- Describe the processes and events that lead to
double fertilization: fig 15 gametophytes, 16 fertilization
- Explain how a seed forms = ovule: fig 17, Kimball,
his
drawings cycle
- slides:
this & next two objectives,
- Describe the formation and functions of fruit =
mature ovary
- Describe the general process of germination in a
pea plant: fig 20, hormone Ch 29
CHECKPOINT p 636
1. If the soil is
changing rapidly in composition is sexual or asexual reproduction
better for survival?
2. Pollen develops within ?, in male reproductive organs called ?
Ovules develop within ?, in female reproductive
organs called ?
3. The products of the
double fertilization are 1)
? which forms the
embryo, & 2) ? which stores nutrients
E. Evolution Connection: Interdependence of
Angiosperms & Animals
marsh
marigolds trilium,
garlic
mustard
15. Describe the mutually beneficial relationships of flowering
plants and land animals.
