Warm Up-

What is the name ofThe male part of flower?What parts does it contain?Homework: progress reports Friday

Male parts of flower

ANGIOSPERMS: Have flowers Fruits contain seeds with covering

Angiosperms are divided into two groups: Monocots & Dicots.

24

Monocots Parallel

venation in leaves

Flower parts in multiples of 3

Vascular tissue scattered in cross section of stem

25

Dicots Net venation in

leaves Flower parts in

multiples of 4 or 5

Vascular tissue in rings in cross section of stem

Warm Up- + reflection

Homework:

Cotyledons

14

Is this a monocot or a dicot? Why?

DICOT 2 leaves

15

Non-essential parts- Not needed for sexual

reproduction Receptacle: Base of the flower Sepals: smaller leaves protecting

flower located at the base Petals: Colored tissue covering the

internal sexual organs WHY ARE THEY SO BRIGHTLY

COLORED???

16

Pollination Flower parts fall

off and each Ovary grows into a fruit which contains seeds.

This only happens for plants that produce fruit

17

To attract the pollinators….birds, bees, butterflies.

The goal of the plant is to get any pollinator to knock the pollen off of the stamen and have it land at the stigma.

Wind, rain or brushing up against a flower could also achieve this goal.

Wed/Thurs/Fri To Do Today

• Review flowers • Finish notes on flowers

in foldable• Coloring of leavesWarm Up – reflection

1. What are the 2 categories of seed producing vascular plants?2. What is the function of the ovary of a flower?Homework: none

1. 2.

22

Other types of flowers Some flowers,

such as grasses, do not have brightly colored petals and nectar to attract insects.

These flowers are pollinated by the wind.

12

Vascular SystemXylem tissue carries water and minerals upward from the roots

Phloem tissue carries sugars made by photosynthesis from the leaves to where they will be stored or used

Sap is the fluid carried inside the xylem or phloem

Some drinks from plants Birch sap can also be used as an ingredient in food or drinks, such as

birch beer or wintergreen flavored candy

Maple syrup is a syrup usually made from the xylem sap of sugar maple, red maple, or black maple trees, although it can also be made from other maple species. In cold climates, these trees store starch in their trunks and roots before the winter; the starch is then converted to sugar that rises in the sap in the spring. Maple trees can be tapped by boring holes into their trunks and collecting the exuded sap. The sap is processed by heating to evaporate much of the water, leaving the concentrated syrup

Root beer is a carbonated, sweetened beverage, originally made using the root of a sassafras plant (or the bark of a sassafras tree) as the primary flavor.
