Plant Characteristics What defines a plant: Cell Wall Photosynthesis Origins in oceans (algae) Adaptation to land required Embryo Ability to grow (support) Transport systems Regulate water loss Dispersal strategies without water

Mosses Bryophytes Reproduction Seedless & Non-vascular Needs: Damp Close to ground Reproduction Sperm movement

Ferns Seedless Vascular structures Purpose Reproduction Sperm Spores

Gymnosperms Seeds & vascular structures Seed Gym = “naked” Conifers Embryo Pollen Male sperm Egg

Angiosperms Angio =“enclosed seed” Flowering plants Ovaries Birds & the Bees Nectar Mammals Purpose of fruits
