Study Notes
Plant Structure and Function
- Plants, like animals, reproduce—for species continuation—either sexually or asexually.
- Plants are eukaryotes, containing chlorophyll.
- Plants are either vascular or non-vascular
- Nonvascular plants lack vessels for transporting water and nutrients, usually live in moist areas, and reproduce with water's aid.
- Vascular plants have internal channels to transport water and nutrients and can be gymnosperms or angiosperms.
- Gymnosperms are seed-bearing plants where seeds are not enclosed in fruit.
- Angiosperms are plants with seeds enclosed in fruit.
- Monocots and dicots are two categories of angiosperms differing in seed structure, stem, leaf, and floral arrangements.
- Modified stems, like rhizomes, bulbs, and corms, are adapted for functions like food storage or propagation.
- Flowers are reproductive structures with male (stamen) and female (pistil) parts, responsible for sexual reproduction (pollination).
- Sepals protect the flower bud and calyx before the flower opens.
- Petals or corolla, in bright colors, attract pollinators (animals or wind) that contribute to reproduction.
Pollination
- Pollination is the transfer of pollen (containing sperm) from the stamen to the pistil.
- Pollination could be self-pollination or cross-pollination.
- Self-pollination is the pollen transfer within the same flower or the one from the same plant—this ensures the plants' genetic stability.
- Cross-pollination involves the transfer of pollen from one plant to another.
- After pollination, the sperm cell fertilizes the egg, forming a zygote.
- The zygote develops into an embryo that contains in the seed; this structure will form new plants.
