Classification Learning Objectives: 1.Describe what classification is. 2.Describe the difference between invertebrates and vertebrates and their subdivisions using examples. 3.Describe the differences between plants with vascular tissues and waterproof cuticles and plants without.

Plant Classification Plants are living organisms that cannot move around. Most plants make their own food through photosynthesis. Vascular Tissues are similar to animals blood vessels. In plants they are called xylem and phloem, they transport nutrients and water to cells in the plant. Seeds contain a baby plant (embryonic plant) the outer covering provides safety and nutrients to the seedling. Spores are a small single celled reproductive structure normally spread by non-flowering plants like fungi. 3 mins

Mosses: They have simple leaves and shallow roots, with no proper vascular systems. The leaves are very small and are not covered with a waterproof, waxy cuticle layer. Mosses, Angiosperm and Lichen are often found in damp areas as they dry out easily. They reproduce using spores. Ferns: They have proper roots and stems, and leaf-like fronds. The leaves are not covered in a waterproof, waxy cuticle layer and so they dry out easily and are generally found in damp places. They do have a vascular system. They reproduce using spores. Conifers: They have vascular tissues. They are large plants with proper roots and stems and needle-shaped leaves with a waxy cuticle. They are good at surviving in dry or cold climates. They reproduce using seeds found in cones. Flowering Plants: They have vascular tissues. They have proper roots and stems and have flowers. Their leaves are large and flat and have a waxy cuticle. They reproduce using seeds found in fruits. Plant classification 5 mins
