Vascular and Nonvascular Plants Life Science

Seedless Nonvascular Plants 1.What are the general structural characteristics of seedless nonvascular plants? Small, a few cells thick.

Seedless Nonvascular Plants 2. How do seedless nonvascular plants reproduce? Alternation of Generations, they have spores.

Seedless Nonvascular Plants 3. In what environment are these plants found? Moist, they need water nearby to reproduce and because they are nonvascular.

Seedless Nonvascular Plants 4. Give at least 3 example of seedless nonvascular plants. Mosses, liverworts, hornworts

Seedless Vascular Plants 5. What are the general structural characteristics of seedless vascular plants? Larger, some have roots, stems and leaves.

Seedless Vascular Plants 6. How do seedless vascular plants reproduce? Alternation of Generations, they have spores.

Seedless Vascular Plants 7. In what environment are these plants found? WHY? Moist, they need water to reproduce.

Seedless Vascular Plants 8. Give at least 3 example of seedless vascular plants. Ferns, horsetails, club mosses.

Seeded Vascular Plants 9. What are the general structural characteristics of seeded vascular plants? Much larger, more variety. All have roots, stems (xylem and phloem) and leaves.

Seeded Vascular Plants 10. What is the difference between a gymnosperm and an angiosperm? Gymnosperms: seeds in cones Angiosperms: seeds in fruit

Seeded Vascular Plants 11. How do these plants reproduce? a.Gymnosperms: cones open, seeds fall out. b.Angiosperms: use color, scent, nectar to attract pollinators.

Seeded Vascular Plants 12. In what kind of environment would you find a: a.Gymnosperms: mountains, dry, cold b. Angiosperms: variety of places, need water

Seeded Vascular Plants 13. Give at least three examples of: a.Gymnosperms: evergreen, pine, ginkgo b. Angiosperms: tomato, cucumber, pepper, green beans
