Document Summary

Key features of plants: all plants are photosynthetic and photoautotrophic( , plants are always multicellular, depends on the embryo( ). -- >embryophytes( : alternation(switch haploid(single set unpaired chromosomes) to diploid) of generation. The human does not have the haploid cell, we only have the multicellular organism. Alternation of generation: (in words) gametophyte (n) produces gametes (n) via mitosis, gametes fuse to zygote (2n) -> grows into sporophyte (2n) -> produces spores (n) via meiosis. Only moss with dominant gametophyte, all other plants with dominant sporophyte! ( sporophyte produces spores( ), and the gametophyte produces gametes (sperm and eggs) Central vacuole: expand when watering the plants, contract when no water. Cell wall: plasmodesmata: allows exchange on the closed cell. Get resources from where they live--->two locations -->soil and air. Guard cells: they help to regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata. Xylem( ): water and mineral from bottom to top.
