#3 PLANT ADAPTATIONS

Match the plant adaptation to its biome.

BIOME: TUNDRA, AQUATIC, OR DESERT? / PLANT ADAPTATION
Chlorophyll found in upper surface of leaves, surface has waxy coating.
Leaves and stems are flexible and move with water currents.
Leaves float on top of the water exposing the leaves to sunlight.
Plant covered with hair to protect it from cold weather.
Plants grow close to each other to protect from wind and cold.
Plants have no leaves or small leaves that grow immediately after it rains.
Plants small and low-growing to keep plants from freezing.
Plants store water in their stems or leaves.
Stems have air spaces that hold the plant upright in the water.
Waxy coating on stems and leaves to reduce water loss.

Tundra: Extremely cold climate, Low biotic diversity, Simple vegetation structure, Limitation of drainage, Short season of growth and reproduction, Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic material /
Desert: Most deserts have a considerable amount of specialized vegetation, as well as specialized vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Soils often have abundant nutrients because they need only water to become very productive and have little or no organic matter /
Aquatic biomes (marine and freshwater): Although water temperatures can vary widely, aquatic areas tend to be more humid and the air temperature on the cooler side

PLANTS: PARTS AND FUNCTIONS

Read the descriptions to help answer the questions

Roots / Stems / Leaves / Flower structures

Absorb water and minerals
Anchor plant
May have hairs to aid absorption
Often function as water or food storage sites (ensures long-term survival when water is scarce)
Contain vascular tissues for transport to and from stem

Bundled or circular arrangement of vascular tissue surrounds mass of parenchyma tissue
Contain vascular tissues that transport water, dissolved minerals and sugars to and from roots and leaves
Xylem: transports water and minerals
Phloem: transports food (sugar; organic molecules)
Support leaves and flowers

Gases move in and out through stomata
Most have relatively large surface area that receives sunlight
Primary function is photosynthesis
Some are adapted to store food
Some are modified to release irritants when broken or crushed
Water vapor is lost through transpiration, encourages water pulled up through roots

Carpel: The female reproductive organ of the plant (includes stigma, style, and ovary)
Stigma: Receives pollen during pollination
Style: Slender stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary
Ovule: Part of the ovary that usually has one egg; it becomes the seed after fertilization
Ovary: Hollow base of the carpel; contains one or more ovules
Stamen: Male reproductive organ of a flower (contains anther and filament)
Anther: Tip of the stamen-produces pollen that eventually becomes sperm
Filament: Thin stalk with anther at top

Which structures have similar transport functions like the circulatory system?

Which two structures are the male and female reproductive structures of plants?

Which structure functions like the respiratory system, where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?

NOTES: ECOLOGY

Food chains and webs: the order that animals feed on other plants and animals; Sequence of who eats who in an ecosystem to obtain nutrition

Energy pyramid: Trophic Levels:
the position it holds in a food chain and the amount of energy available at each level

______ (organisms that make their own food from sunlight and/or chemical energy from deep sea vents) are the base of every food chain - these organisms are called ______.
______ are animals that eat primary producers; they are also called ______ (plant-eaters).
______ eat primary consumers. They are ______(meat-eaters) and ______ (animals that eat both animals and plants).
______ eat secondary consumers.
______ eat tertiary consumers.
Food chains "end" with top predators, animals that have little or no natural enemies.

When any organism dies, it is eventually eaten by ______ (like vultures, worms and crabs) and broken down by ______ (mostly bacteria and fungi), and the exchange of energy continues.

Interactions

type of symbiosis; both benefit / type of symbiosis; one benefits, the other is unaffected
type of symbiosis: one benefits, the other is harmed (loses food, shelter, body fluids, etc) / Predator (an organism that is hunting) feeds on its prey (the organism that is attacked).[

Bioaccumulation is the increase in concentration of a substance in organisms as they take in contaminated air, water, or food.

As bigger animals eat smaller animals, the level of contamination in the food is added to the level of contamination already in their body.

Example:

A mouse eats crops sprayed with DDT. An eagle then eats the infected mouse. The eagle is infected with the toxins. The eagle's system is then damaged and its eggs shells will become softer and the chick inside will either die, or be born without being properly developed.
A more simple example might be a bird flying over a factory and getting some acid. Then, a bigger bird eats that bird, then a different animal eats that bird, and eventully, the acid is collected and brings viruses or/and death.

Class Example: grass, grasshopper, mouse, lizard, rabbit, snake, hawk

Create a and label a food chain (3 organisms)
Create a and label a food web (all organisms)
Create and label an energy pyramid (all organisms)
Identify the type of reactions found between 4 pairs of organisms.
