Vascular & Nonvascular Plants A. Plants which contain vessels for transport B. Xylem- vessels transporting water & minerals up to leaves C. Phloem- vessel transporting sugar down to roots D. Example-Flowers, Trees 1. Nonvascular Plants without vessels for water & mineral transport Example-Mosses
Bryophytes Nonvascular plants-Moss Small, soft plants which grow in clumps Absorbs water like a sponge Live in moist, shaded areas Height b/t 1-2 cm Pioneer plants: break down rock
LIFE CYCLE Reproduction: a. Alternate Generations: have 2 body forms in life cycle b. Gametophyte- body form which produces gametes c. Sporophyte- form which produces spores, grows from gametophyte capsule sporophyte stalk Stemlike structure gametophyte Leaflike structure
2. Steps in Reproductive Cycle Spore germinate & form gametophyte generation Antheridium- forms male gametes(sperm) Archegonium- forms female gametes(egg) Sperm fertilizes egg & zygote is formed Zygote divides and forms sporophtye

Seedless Plants Vascular plants- have xylem & phloem Live in moist, fertile shaded areas Form fronds (large leaves) leaves Produce spores instead of seeds Fiddlehead-young fern frond
5. Reproduction: Alternate Generations sporophyte & gametophyte are independent spores released, germinate to form heart-shaped gametophyte called Prothallus d. Prothallus prod. both Antheridium & Archegonium e. Sperm released & swims through water & fertilizes egg f. Zygote is formed & dev. in Sporophyte
