This document discusses plant classification and adaptation. It describes the different types of plants from the smallest that need microscopes to see to the largest trees. It explains the divisions of spermatophytes into gymnosperms and angiosperms, and then further divides angiosperms into monocots and dicots. It also describes plants that do not produce seeds like algae, fungi, bryophytes, and pteridophytes. In addition, it provides examples of plant adaptations and uses of plants for medicine.
Plant classification and adaptation
- 2. Plants are living things in different sizes – from very tiny to very tall ones. The smallest plant cannot be seen without using a microscope. The big ones like Acacia tree, can be seen even from far afar.
- 5. Spermatophytes Seed producing plants Such as trees, shrubs, crop plants and vegetables, garden and wild flowers, weeds and grasses.
- 8. Gymnosper ms Seed-producing plants that do not have true flowers Also known as conifers because they produce woody cones Cones are fruits of conifers and are made up of scale Are grown to stop the force of the winds around farms and to decorate parks and yards
- 9. Angiosperms Seed-producing plants that produce flowers Garden and wildflowers, weeds, plants that produce crops and vegetables, cereal grains, and trees that lose their leaves in the fall Most of the trees in the Philippines Divided into two groups: monocotyledons or monocots Dicotyledons or dicots
- 10. Monocots Plants that produce seeds with one seed leaf Mono means “one” cot means “seed leaf” Usually have narrow, smooth edged, parallel-veined leaves
- 12. Dicot s Plants that produce seeds with two seed leaves Di means “two” cot means “seed leaf” Usually have broad, irregularly shaped, netted leaves
- 13. Dicot s
- 14. Plants That Do Not Produce Seeds
- 15. Plants That Do Not Produce Seed Have three Major Groups Thallophytes Bryophytes Pteridophytes
- 16. Thallophytes •Simplest form of plants •Have no roots, stems, or leaves
- 17. Algae •Have chlorophyll •Can make their own food •They are colored and usually grow in water Example: blue-green, green, red and brown algae.
- 18. Fungi
- 19. Bryophytes • Simple plants but have more complicated parts than algae and the fungi • Have simple leaves • Do not have true roots and stems • Possesses root-like and stem-like structures • Have chlorophyll and can produce own food Example: moss and liverwort
- 20. Bryophytes • Simple plants but have more complicated parts than algae and the fungi • Have simple leaves • Do not have true roots and stems • Possesses root-like and stem-like structures • Have chlorophyll and can produce own food Example: moss and liverwort
- 21. Pteridophyte s •Plants that have true roots, stems and leaves but do not have flowers, fruits or seeds •Have chlorophyll and make their own food Example: ferns and club mosses
- 24. Nemesio L. Mendiola • Known as the Luther Burband of the Philippines • Was born in Angono, Rizal and studied at the College of Agriculture of the University of the Philippines • Combined the sweetness of Hawaiian pineapple and native pina • His work included rust-resistant coffee, the ambos banana, the
- 25. Needs and Uses of Plants
- 26. PRACTICE (Who was paying attention?)
- 27. Classify the following Plants as Monocots and Dicots:
- 28. 1 2 3 4 5
- 29. Identify the following Plants as Thallophytes, Bryophytes, or Pteridophytes:
- 30. 1 2 3 4 5
- 33. 6 7 8 9 10
- 34. Plants are autotrophs; they are producers They harness the energy of the sun in the process called photosynthesis Plants uses sunlight, water, Carbon dioxide, and minerals from the soil Photosynthesis Takes place in the leaves Air and carbon dioxide enters the plant through the stomata Water and minerals enter
- 35. Photosynthesis The chloroplasts are where photosynthesis occurs which contain chlorophyll Chlorophyll is the pigment in the plant that absorbs sunlight
- 36. Some plants live in a bog
- 37. Uses of plants •Plants can be used for medicine
- 38. Bark of Cinchona tree • Used for making quinine (a drug used to treat malaria)
- 39. Did you know… • About 3.3 billion people – half of the world's population – are at risk of malaria • In 2010, there were about 219 • an estimated 660 000 malaria deaths million malaria cases
- 40. Ipecac Plant • Used to treat poison
- 41. Foxglove Leaves • Used for heart treatment
- 42. Aloe Vera • Used to treat burns • Believed to slow or prevent hairloss
- 43. Camphor Tree • Used to relieve pain • Used to relieve itching
- 46. Corky, rough, thick barks • For protection
- 47. Releases pungent odor • For protection
- 48. Oils that cause itchiness • For protection
- 49. Can grow on water • Don’t have long roots but have bulb-like structures
- 50. Can grow on dry soil • Have thick and fleshy stems
- 51. Phototropism • Plants bend towards the light to get the most sunlight
- 52. Geotropism • Most roots grow towards the ground
- 53. Seed Dispersal • Plants have fruits for easy dispersal (humans/animals) • Some have pods that dry up • Some are easily carried by the wind • Some are carried by animals • Some can be carried by water
- 54. Colors !
- 55. How can we ensure that there are still plants and animals for our future generation?
