Document Summary

Plants make their own food through photosynthesis, using the energy from sunlight. Stay in one place, extending their roots and shoots to harvest diffuse resources. Structure of a plant"s body is dynamic, because most plants grow throughout their lives and exhibit indeterminate growth. Plants use light energy to synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide in the air and water from the soil. Must also obtain nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and other nutrients. These key elements exist in nature primarily as ions dissolved in soil water. Below ground the root system anchors the plant and takes in water and nutrients from the soil. Above ground the shoot system harvests light and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce sugars. Together these systems make up the plant body. Importance of surface area and volume relationships. Root and shoot systems both function in absorption. Absorption takes place across a surface, but the cells that use the absorbed light and molecules occupy a volume.

	Without tracheids colonization ofland would not have been possible.
	All of the large dominant extantland plants are tracheophytes.
	Tracheids allow for efficienttransport of water over longer distances.

8.What would be the simplest way for a non-botanist to confirmthat the fern is not a small palm?

Height, all ferns are verysmall

Lack of roots, palms have roots butferns do not

Leaf shape, only ferns havedissected leaves

Dots on the underside of the leaf, only ferns have sporangiaunder their fronds

9.Select the true statements relating to the colonization ofland by plants.

Desiccation is a much more commonproblem in terrestrial environments.

Cuticle layers reduce gasexchange.

Xylem tissue, seeds and stomata arefound on both plants and charophytes.

Without trachids land plant would not have been to able to growmore than just a meter or so tall.

10.Survival on land for organisms is difficult because of theproblem of

syngamy.

soil to reproduce sexually.

water to reproduce sexually.

sunlight to reproducesexually.

air to reproduce sexually.

	gas-filled air spaces.
	stems.
	specialized reproductivefeatures.
	specialized roots.
	increased area for photosynthesisin the leaves.
