Lesson3: Plant
Reproduction
Learning Competencies:
At the end of the lesson, the learners can:
a. compare and contrast the following
processes in plants and animals:
reproduction, development, nutrition, gas
exchange, transport/circulation, regulation of
body fluids, chemical and nervous control,
immune systems, and sensory and motor
mechanisms.
Plants have unique methods of
reproducing that allow them to thrive
in various environments.
Involves the production of specialized
structures, such as flowers, that
contain male and female reproductive
parts.
Through the transfer of pollen, either
by wind, insects, or other agents,
plants facilitate the fertilization of the
ovules, leading to the formation of
seeds
Alternation of Generation
Alternation of Generation
Plants alternate between
two different life stages,
or generations, in their life
cycle; a haploid stage
called gametophyte and a
diploid stage called
sporophyte.
Bryophytes | Mosses
2 Types of
Reproduction
Asexual and
Sexual
Reproduction
Bryophytes | Mosses
Dominant
Gametophyte
Male:
Antheridium
Female:
Archegonium
Bryophytes | Mosses
1. Capsule contains spore-producing
structures called sporangia
2. Calypta - protects the capsule
containing the embryonic sporophyte
3. Peristome - ring of teeth that control
the release of spores
4. Operculum - cap-like structure
5. Sporangia act as cystic capsules where
spores are formed
6. Sporocytes are the actual spores
produced within these structures
Ferns
Dominant
Sporophyte
Ferns
Gametophyte
Small, flat, and
heart-shaped
Ferns
Gametes are
developed
underside
Ferns
Gymnosperms
Dominant:
Sporophyte
Examples:
Conifers
Cycads
Gingkoes
Gymnosperms
Gymnosperms
Gymnosperms
Angiosperms
Flowering Plants
Dominant:
Sporophyte
Gametophyte is
greatly reduced
Examples:
Trees, shrubs
Herbaceous
Angiosperms
The ovary contains
multiple ovules.
Mechanisms of
pollination:
wind, water,
animals, or self-
pollination
Angiosperms
• Ovary: enlarged basal portion
of the carpel/pistil
• Stigma: received the pollen
and adapted to be sticky to
facilitate adhesion
• Style: slender tube-like
structure
Angiosperms
Fertilization when sperm
reaches the ovule
zygote -> embryo -> seed
Angiosperms
Seed contains endosperms
or cotyledons and is
protected by seed coat.
