  • “задание для любознательных” give curious students a task
  • Each chapter ends with a summary, project ideas, and a subject index.
  • The text also provides helpful study tips, such as preparing before starting a task.

Plant kingdom diversity

  • The plant kingdom includes over 350,000 species with diverse forms.
  • These range from single-celled organisms to giant trees.
  • Plants are characterized by photosynthesis and a rigid cell wall.
  • Historical development led to the changes and extinction of some plant species.

What will be taugh

  • About basic systematic groups of organisms
  • Diversity among various divisions of the plant kingdom
  • Their structural features
  • Key stages in the evolution of plant life
  • Plant adaptations to diverse environments
  • The impact of human activities on species and their environment

You will need to learn to

  • Determine a plant's systematic position.
  • Identify and compare plants from different divisions.
  • Connect plant structural features with their environment.
  • Apply biological knowledge to understand evolution and biodiversity.

Variety of organisms and their classification

  • Systematics is the study of organism diversity and classification.
  • It groups organisms by relatedness and determines a species' place in the organic system.
  • Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) developed a successful system of the organic world.
  • Linnaeus emphasized the importance of systematics for studying it.
  • He created a binomial nomenclature system using Latin.
  • For example, Trifolium medium is клевер средний (medium clover) and Trifolium repens is клевер ползучий (creeping clover).

Modern classifications of the organic world

  • It consideres the relationships between organisms.
  • Organisms are grouped into increasingly broad categories.
  • Species are grouped into genera, genera into families, families into orders, and so on.
  • These are called systematic groups or categories.
  • The organic world was once divided into two kingdoms: plants and animals.
  • Current systems classify cellular organisms into two groups: Доядерные (Prokaryotes) and Ядерные (Eukaryotes) in надцарства or superkingdoms.
  • Доядерные includes Бактерии and Архебактерии (Archaea).
  • Ядерные includes diverse organisms with unicellular to colonial forms.

About Classifications

  • A universally accepted classification is lacking, which is why schools use a traditional classification.
  • This groups Ядерные into Грибы, Растения, and Животные kingdoms.
  • Viruses, non-cellular life forms, are excluded from this classification.
  • Important terms: Systematics, Species, Systematic categories, and Classification

The Species Concept

  • A species includes similar organisms interbreeding and inhabiting a specific area.
  • A plant's range may be large or small, continuous or fragmented.
  • Taraxacum is widespread.
  • Pinus pityusa is limited to the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus.
  • Some species are rare, requiring protection in the Красная книга or Red Book.

Species criteria

  • They are based on a combination of features such as morphology.
  • They encompasses external and internal structure.
  • Life activities
  • The entirety of their lifecycles.
  • Similar related species are united into genera.
  • Genera are grouped into families, families into orders, orders into classes, and classes into divisions.
  • Отдел is the largest systematic unit in the plant kingdom.
  • Plants in divisions share the same structural plan and importaint featuress.
  • Покрытосеменные plants have flowers, do undergo double fertilization.
  • Modern systematics use categories like the Эукариоты (Eucaryota) and Прокариоты (Procariota) superkingdoms.
  • These belong to the empire of cellular organisms or empire.
  • A second empire includes non-cellular life forms or вирусы(viruses).

Dandelion classification

  • Dandelions are a familiar weed-like plant within plant classification:
  • Imperio: Celled Form organismo
  • Narada: Eukaryotic (Kernal)
  • Kingdom: Plants
  • Divisition: Flowering (Angiosperms, Seed encased)
  • Class: Dicot
  • Order: Aster
  • Family: Asteraceae (Aster family)
  • Genus: Dandelion
  • Species: Dandelion Officinalis

Plant adaptation to environment

  • Every species is adapted to its living conditions and geographical area.
  • Area of geographic distribution of the species is name for this: Areals
  • The number and range of many species are impacted by human activities
  • Increase on the number of species of weeds

Remembering Plant species

  • Systematics of the plant
  • Systematic Units: View, Genus, family, order and class
  • Narada
  • Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
  • The plants has been put in comparison to its environment
  • The textbook provides a plan for studying plant structure, and offers a practical task for learning about the features of green algae.

The kingdom of seaweed plants

  • Water plants
  • Have a tallus

Exploring Algae

  • Specialists haven't agreed on a single definition of algae.
  • They vary so widely in structure and life activity.
  • They do not all agree on any similarity.

The position of seaweed in the organic systems

  • Some tradition see green weed as some of the lowest plants
  • Some see see weed as a special kind of Protista

Domestic and scientific Literature

  • See weed are either classified into
  • Bugyanki
  • Real seaweed

Oddities in classifications

  • Some variety that belongs to different divisions that
  • Lost their photosynthesis abilities and completely moved to other form of alimentation
  • Also some kind does asexual reproduction with the help of special forms

Success from plant life

  • By means of zhe eyes: you get a better idea of the new info
  • It is important to properly see
  • At work with a picture of an illustration, comply with these steps: look and examine the picture.
  • Describe the illustrated as best possible
  • Make Questions

Seaweed

  • It is very unique
  • They make unique forms for many life processes

Study of seaweed

  • It will be shown for the next lesson: Food
  • The cleaning of Water and Oxygen
  • Kalimy Soli Leharstva

Algae

  • People have cultivated alga since the 17th century.
  • They are know and more ancient than we thing
  • Many seaweed and plants are used as food for some

Different characteristics

  • A large portion are different
  • It can grow out 45cm in 24 hrs
  • 99339 percent light
  • Some is found where very cold

Algys are amazing

  • Diatomowe the most numerous of different cells
  • 3300 different kids

Plant life to human

  • All are interconnected and help to eat
  • Make medical products as needed through our life

Weed information

  • May help human more than harm
  • One plant are used for this
  • Some of them

Studing weed

  • Take notes and read for this
  • Will show a large amount that are need to know

Higher spore plants

  • Fossils show different data about there life
  • How do higher plants differ
  • Plant life is very different than in life

All these spores did what at end

  • Evolved form
  • Did take care of most life style
  • Most like to live to create a family

Types of plant with them

  • Pohavidnie is most known for this
  • Different other do live in cold
  • Must have water to have family

How the plant life live

  • Plant cycle
  • Cycle that has high need to live from the ground
  • New seed = all with time

To have a plant in life needed

  • Water
  • Spors

Type of plant to have them

  • High spors
  • Can do many thing about that and more

After the spoures are gone a few think

  • Give a new name
  • To see where the life will be
  • Know how it all starts

List of plant

  • Moss
  • Spores
  • The area around

A part on each

  • Moss plant life are good to come
  • And good to look for thing about it

A few know forms

  • Lives will
  • Like to see with
  • Are good to be around

Spoorous plant all have

  • Are hard for time and more
  • So for plant are new form

Other Plant

  • Must have leaf on life
  • Will do a few thing
  • Can not get any

The nature of them all

1- A thing need what are high to do on the world 2- The nature life has all 3-The nature life take a large part on life and world
