Plant Characteristics
All plants have 5 adaptations for living on land:
1. Obtain water and minerals from soil ~ root systems
2. Retain water by a cuticle – water proof layer on leaves
3. Transport material – thru cells and vascular tissuea. Vascular tissue – tissue that transports water, nutrients and mineralsb. Plants that have vascular tissue are called vascular plantsc. Vascular plants can grow tall because of the support of vascular tissue.
4. A plant on land needs to support its body
a. Leaves must be exposed to as much sunlight as possible
b. Vascular tissue strengths and supports large plant
5. Most do sexual reproduction with fertilization of egg and sperm =zygote
Complex Life cycle1. Two stages (or generations): produce
different things for reproduction
Fertilization produces a zygote
Alternation of Generation
Two stages
a. 1st stage – Sporophyte – the plant produces spores
- spores – tiny cells that can grow into new gametophyte
b. 2nd stage – Gametophyte – the plant produces two types of sex cells (sperm and egg)
- egg + sperm = zygote = becomes a sporophyte
- cycle starts over again
Questions1. List three characteristics that all plants share.
