1. Vascular and Nonvascular plants & Flowering Plant Reproduction

2. Roots, stems, and leaves all contain vascular tissue.
Vascular plants
Vascular plants have tissue that SUPPORTS the plant and CARRIES water and food throughout the plant.
Roots, stems, and leaves all contain vascular tissue.

3. Two types of vascular tissues:
Xylem (zy-lum)- carries
water from the roots to the
plant
2. Phloem (flow-em)- carries food from leaves to the rest of the plant

4. Nonvascular plants Non vascular plants are classified
as plants, but do not have “true” roots.
They have “root-like” structures that
anchor them to the ground.
They do not have “true” leaves because they do not have veins.
They have small “leaf-like” structures that make food.

5. Moss and Lichen
Mosses grow on trees, rocks, and other places where they can absorb water.

6. The differences Vascular Nonvascular
Vascular plants are much larger in size
Vascular plants have two types of tissue.
Vascular plants have true (real) roots, stems, and leaves
Nonvascular
Nonvascular plants are not tall
They grow very close to the ground.
3. Nonvascular plants do not have “true” roots, stems, and leaves.

8. Reproduction in Flowering Plants
Flowers are the part of the
plant where seeds are made.

9. Reproduction in Flowering Plants
Seeds are what make new plants grow.

10. Reproduction in Flowering Plants
There is a male and female part of every flower.
the stamen
(male)

11. Reproduction in Flowering Plants
The stamen and the pistil are the two main reproductive parts of the flower.
the pistil
(female)

12. The Stamen the stamen (male)
Here is a diagram of the stamen. The tip of the anther is where the pollen is made.

13. The Pistil the pistil (female)
Here is a diagram of the pistil, which grows up from the ovary. The ovary produces egg cells.

Of course, not all parts of the flower have reproductive functions, like the petal, sepal and receptacle.

15. Functions pistil stamen
Even though the petal, sepal and receptacle don’t have reproductive purposes, they are all still important functioning parts of the flower.

: protects the reproductive parts and attracts insects

sepal
: protects the plant and helps to hold moisture
receptacle
egg cells (ovules)
: stem and base of the flower

16. Pollen
Pollen is the fine, dust like powder that contains the male reproductive cells of seed-bearing plants.
As this bee collects pollen from the stamen, the female organs in the pistil are fertilized by the pollen.

17. Pollination the stamen (male) the pistil (female)
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the stamen (male) to the pistil (female) in a flower.

(female)

18. Pollination
The process of pollination can happen from wind, insects, birds, and other animals carrying and transferring the pollen from the stamen to the pistil.
Although bees are the insect who are most famous for pollination, many other insects also help to pollinate plants. Without insects doing this very important job, the world would look much different!

19. Pollination
Without pollination, flowers could not reproduce, and therefore could not survive.
Birds also transfer pollen for the flowers,
and are rewarded with tasty nectar.

20. Summarizer
In paragraph format, explain how flowering plants can reproduce. .
Make sure to discuss terms such as:

pollen
pistil (female)
style
stigma
ovary
egg
pollination
fertilization
