5 Kingdoms Moneran One celled No separate nucleus

5 Kingdoms

Moneran § One celled § No separate nucleus § Example: bacteria

Protist § Most one celled § Have nucleus and other cell structures § Examples: algae, amoeba

Fungus § § § Many celled Cannot move Absorb nutrients from other organisms § Examples: mushrooms, yeast, molds

Plant § § § Many-celled Cannot move Use energy from the sun to make sugars § Examples: trees, flowers, ferns

Animal § § § Many-celled Most can move Get energy by consuming other organisms § Examples: invertebrates, fish, birds, mammals

What makes a Plant? Plant Characteristics How are Plants Classified

Plant Characteristics § They make their own food § Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll § Chlorophyll absorbs energy from the sun § Plants use the energy to make food - glucose (sugar) § Process is called Photosynthesis

Plant Characteristics § Plant Cells have Cell Walls

What is a Cell Wall § a plant cell is surrounded by a rigid cell wall § outside of the cell membrane § helps support

What are the parts of a plant? § Flower This part makes seeds. § Stem This part carries food and water through the plant. § Leaf This part makes food for the plant. § Root This part carries water from the soil to the plant.

Kinds of plants § Edible You can eat it – fruit and vegetables *lettuce * carrots § Non-edible Don’t eat these *poison ivy

More kinds of plants § Flowering Plants that have flowers to attract insects. Non-Flowering Plants that don’t have flowers-only leaves. *ivy *ferns Conifers Plants that grow cones and do not lose their leaves. Decidious Plants that lose their leaves each fall.

Plant Parts and Functions

Parts of The Plant

Root Functions Roots have 4 primary functions 1. Absorption of water and nutrients 2. Transportation of water and nutrients to stem 3. Anchors plant 4. Store food and water

Functions of the Stem 1. Transports water and nutrients from roots to leaves 2. Supports leaves, fruits and flowers Highway

Leaves Kitchen Stomata Opening in epidermis where gas and water exchange

Important Functions of Leaves ÀPhotosynthesis Process that plants use to produce their food ÁTranspiration Loss of water and exchange of carbon dioxide
