1. 5 Plants

2. Rose
Roses reproduce through their ovaries. First a pollen cell
gets into the flower, this can happen in many ways. The
pollen soon grows into ovules, or tiny seeds. The ovules
are held in the pistils while the seed is developing,
Once the seed has developed, it is released out of the
pistol, lands somewhere and if the conditions are right
it grows into a new rose.
Kingdom: Plantae
(unranked): Angiosperms
(unranked): Eudicots
(unranked): Rosids
Order: Rosales
Family: Rosaceae
Subfamily: Rosoideae
Genus: RosaL.
3. Rose Growth
When an ovule land in area with ideal conditions for it
to grow, it starts to produce more cell. Eventually it
starts growing a root and vascular system. Before long it
is flowering and reproducing, making more rose bushes.
4. Rose Response
An adaption that roses have made is the thorns they
have. Some roses climb buildings or other plants, like
ivy. The thorns are for holding on to something the rose
might grow on.
5. Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemums, or Mums, reproduce with seeds. The
seeds are developed in the flowering body and are
eventually released. If the conditions are ideal in the
area it lands in, it will germinate and grow into a
chrysanthemum.
Kingdom: Plantae
(unranked): Angiosperms
(unranked): Eudicots
(unranked): Asterids
Order: Asterales
Family: Asteraceae
Tribe: Anthemideae
Genus:
Chrysanthemum
6. Chrysanthemum Growth and
Response
Chrysanthemum flowers grow on average between 2 and
4 inches long. One adaption chrysanthemums have made
to their environment is that they are very
colorful, attracting bees and other insects to pollinate
them.
7. Crab Tree
Crab trees can grow up to around 10 to 35 feet tall.
They reproduce through pomes, which are fruits such as
apples that are produced by certain flowering plants
that contain seeds. As I have said in the previous 2
plants if the conditions where the seeds land are right it
will grow into a tree.
8. Response
The flowers are easily attract bees. They are used as pollenizers in some orchards.
Kingdom: Plantae
(unranked): Angiosperms
(unranked): Eudicots
(unranked): Rosids
Order: Rosales
Family: Rosaceae
Subfamily: Maloideae or Spiraeoideae
Tribe: Maleae
Genus:Malus
9. Birch Tree
Birch trees can grow up to between 40 and 70 feet.
They reproduce through samara, their fruit. Samara are
flat fruits with wings on the side that make it spin and
travel a good distance from the tree. If the conditions
are right, the seed will germinate and begin to grow.
10. Response
An adaption that the birch tree has made is in its seeds.
The wings on the seeds allow them to travel much
farther than other seeds. Also since the tree is fair
height, it gives the seed up to 70 feet of height to travel
to a different location.
Kingdom: Plantae
(unranked): Angiosperms
(unranked): Eudicots
(unranked): Rosids
Order: Fagales
Family: Betulaceae
Genus: Betula L.
11. Arborvitae Pyramidalis
Arborvitae Pyramidalis grows at a rapid rate of around
a foot per year. It can get up to 15 feet to 20 feet tall
and 4 to five feet wide.
12. Reproduction
Arborvitae are gymnosperms. This means that they
reproduce using through their small cones pine cones.
Gymnosperms are much different than angiosperms
because the ovules in angiosperms are enclosed during
fertilization whereas the ovules in gymnosperms are
“naked” or unenclosed.
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Pinophyta
Class: Pinopsida
Order: Pinales
Family: Cupressaceae
Subfamily: Cupressoideae
Genus:ThujaL.
13. Adaption
An adaption the arborvitae has made is that it can
survive in almost any soil. Even if the soil is quite acidic
arborvitae trees can still can grow well it. Despite the
ability to live in almost any soil, arborvitaes can’t grow
anywhere, they can only survive in places that are cold
at some point during the year.
14. Cellular Organizations Compare
All five of my plants have cellular organization like
every living thing. They all have tissues, or cells that do
different things. One major thing in the cellular
organization all all the plants is that they all have a
vascular system.
15. Contrast
All of these plants are very different. Sizes, seeds, fruits
flowers, trees, flower and bushes. Not one of them is
the same completely except that they have vascular
systems, they are plants, and other small far fetched
similarities.
