The invasion of land by plants probably occurred about 450 million years ago
First land plants were small mosses and ferns that had to live near water.
Plants slowly began to adapt to life on land, and spread to all biomes and climates. -----Adapting to different environment.
We are going to look at adaptation that plant have to help them survive in different environments.

What plants need & how they obtain it.
• Plants are called autotrophs, meaning “self-feeding.”
• They make Glucose (a carbohydrate) from sunlight energy.
• Need:– Energy– Carbon Dioxide– Water– Other minerals

•Plants are Autotrophs • This trapped energy is used to
convert the inorganic raw materials CO2 and H2O to carbohydrates and O2. – The key to this process is the

How is energy cycled through the processes of photosynthesis and
respiration?• Autotrophs store energy in glucose.• Heterotrophs eat autotrophs, and use
the glucose for energy to carry out all of life's processes.

Sexual vs. Asexual-Sexual allows for the mixing of mixing of genes-genes- increasing genetic variation
-Asexual allows for reproduction when there is no other option- NO increase in genetic
variation

Sexual ReproductionSexual Reproductionallows for the mixing of genes- increasing genetic

• Some plants have flowersflowers.– Animal pollination
• Some plants have cones.cones.– Wind pollinated
• Some have neither. (Ferns & mosses).– Must live near water. Sperm

•The ability of the plant to respond to light.
•If a plant is placed near a window or another light source, the plant will grow in the direction of the light source. •A phototropic response can happen so quickly that even a seedling will respond within a few hours.

Can plants defend themselves?• Mechanical defenseMechanical defense -incorporated into the
physical structure of the organism.– thorns, spines and stiff hairs that repel a predator.
• Chemical defenseChemical defense - occurs when the plant produces stinging sensations, paralysis, poisoning, or just a bad taste.– Chemical compounds that taste bad, while others
contain sap that is an irritant or poison
• CamouflageCamouflage– the organism blends into its environment or appear
to be something they are not

Land Adaptations
To move from the water
to land, plants had to
adapt •systems that would
support their weight
•provide transport of
water and nutrients
•protection from drying

the sun and
temperature changes.

carried over long distances by the wind. Some plants produce seeds that have hooks or barbs on them that attach to the fur of passing animals. These have the nickname of “hitchhikers.”
Many flowers that depend on insects for pollination are brightly colored and fragrant, to draw attention to them. Pollen will rub off on the insect and they will
carry it to another flower. The coconuts from palm trees float. They will travel from one beach to the next or even from one island to another.
