    Land Plants Vs Aquatic Plants

    Uploaded by

    Raja Rao Kamarsu
    Land plants have vascular tissue called xylem and phloem that transport water and nutrients between leaves, roots, and stems. Photosynthesis occurs in leaves, producing sugar from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. Leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds are the main plant organs. The stem supports the plant and contains vascular tissue, while roots anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients. Aquatic plants live in water and have evolved adaptations for their environment. Seagrasses have horizontal stems called rhizomes and small flowers that don't require pollinators. Salt marsh plants like cordgrass are salt-tolerant and help prevent erosion. Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees and shrubs

    Land Plants vs.

    Aquatic Plants

    Land Plants
    Vascular
    They have veins that transport nutrients
    between leaves, roots, stems
    The veins are actually vascular tissue called
    xylem and phloem
    Veins that carry
    water/nutrients

    Xylem: carries water from roots to other


    parts of the plant
    Phloem: carries sugar and nutrients from
    leaves to the rest of the plant
    Why would sugar come from leaves?
    Photosynthesis takes place mostly in leaves
    (Photosynthesis uses sun and CO2 to make sugar
    and O2)

    carbon dioxide

    water

    sugar

    oxygen

    Parts of a Plant
    leaf

    flower

    fruit

    seed
    stem
    roots

    Leaves
    Main photosynthetic organ (why?)
    Collects the most sunlight
    cuticle
    upper epidermis
    palisade cells
    lignin
    xylem
    phloem
    lower epidermis
    spongy cells
    guard cell
    stoma

    Flowers/Fruits/Seeds
    reproductive organs
    flower petals are modified leaves that
    attract pollinators
    hold seeds
    dispersed to help the plant grow in new
    places

    Stem/Roots
    the stem holds up
    and support the
    plant; it also has
    vascular bundles of
    xylem and phloem
    roots anchor the
    plant in the ground
    and absorb water
    and nutrients from
    the ground

    What is the most


    important thing for a
    plant? light
    Where would be the
    best place in the ocean
    for plants and other
    photosynthetic
    organisms to be?
    near the surface

    Zones
    Because light is so
    important to life, the
    ocean is separated in
    zones based on the
    amount of light that
    penetrates to that
    depth
    photic means light
    eu means good
    dis means poor
    a means no

    Aquatic Plants
    What do you think are some advantages
    and disadvantages to living in or near
    freshwater and saltwater?

    Seagrasses
    evolved from land plants
    horizontal stems called
    rhizomes
    very small flowers because
    they dont need to
    attract pollinators
    why not?

    Salt Marsh
    A salt marsh is an area that is partially
    flooded at high tide

    Salt-Marsh Plants
    Cordgrasses (halophytes- salt tolerant plants)
    actually in grass family unlike seagrasses
    not marine; just tolerant of salt
    help protect
    areas from
    erosion
    provide habitat
    and breeding
    grounds
    only get covered
    by salt water at
    high tides
    salt glands in
    leaves excrete salt

    salt excreting from leaves

    Mangroves
    trees and shrubs that live on shores
    land plants tolerant of salt
    create mangrove forests

    thick leaves to reduce water loss; also


    excrete salt
    seeds
    grow for a
    little while
    on parent
    then drop
    into the
    sediment
    below

    Pneumatophores
    specialized root extensions to help mangroves get extra
    oxygen because the mud they grow in doesnt have
    enough

    mangrove roots beneath water provide


    shelter for many types of organisms
