Class on 2/24 and 2/25



Today in class we looked over the two plants of the day. The first one we looked over was the
VENUS FLY TRAP. The second one we looked over was the BASEBALL PLANT.

We went over the 4 characteristics of the plant kingdom.
1. Eukaryotic
2. Photosynthesis, autotrophic, and contains chloroplasts.
3. Cell wall with cellulose
2. Photosynthesis, autotrophic, and contains chloroplasts.
4. Multicellular

We also talked about the phylogenetic tree. The Green Algae and the Mosses have to live in moist environments due to the fact that they do not contain true - water conducting tissues.
We also went over our quiz.

Things plants need to survive.
1. CO2 for photosynthesis.
2. water for photosynthesis.
3. sunlight (energy)
4. minerals (nitrogen)
5. O2 for cellular respiration!

- Plant's mitochondria get glucose from photosynthesis.

Challenges for plants moving from water to land.
1. The ability to obtain water some way.
2. Prevent from dying due to direct sunlight
3. REPRODUCTION

NEXT SCRIBE WILL BE PETER FOX
