2. Plant Characteristics
Xylem: cells that transport water
Phloem: cells that transport minerals/nutrients
Vascular tissue: groups of cells that function for transport within an organism. (xylem/phloem)
Seed: a structure that protects/houses a developing embryo.
Cones and Flowers : reproductive structures in seed-producing plants

3. Non-Seed Plants
Bryophytes: no vascular tissue
Ex. mosses

4. Non-Seed Plants
2. Tracheophytes: have vascular tissue
Ex. ferns

5. Seed Plants
3. Gymnosperms: plants that produce seeds and use cones for reproduction. Ex. pine, redwood

6. Seed Plants
4. Angiosperms: plants that produce seeds and use flowers for reproduction.

7. Life Spans of Angiosperms
Annuals: complete their life cycle in one growing season.
Biennials: complete their life cycle in two years.
Grow roots, stems, and leaves
Grow flowers and reproduce
