1. Plant Classification
PLANTS!

2. Nonvascular Plants Characteristics: Live in MOIST environments
WHY?
Absorb WATER and NUTRIENTS from their environment
NO vascular tissue! (thin cell walls)

3. Nonvascular: MOSSES

4. Nonvascular Plants Examples: Mosses Gametophyte is green and fuzzy
Sporophyte is long and slender with capsule at the end
Peat moss is used in agriculture and gardening
Peat is used as fuel

5. Nonvascular: Liverworts

6. Nonvascular Plants Liverworts
Found on Moist Rock and Soil beside streams

7. Nonvascular: Hornworts

8. Nonvascular Plants
Examples:
Hornworts
Found in Moist Soils

10. Sphagnum Moss turns to Peat

11. Vascular Seedless Plants
Characteristics:
Have vascular tissue- system of tubelike structures inside a plant that water, minerals, and food move through
Do NOT produce seed-reproduce with spores
Live in moist surroundings so sperm can swim to eggs

12. Seedless Vascular Plants
Examples:
Ferns
Size range is small to 5 meters tall!
Fronds are FERN LEAVES

13. Club Mosses
How are club mosses different from “true” mosses?

14. Seedless Vascular Plants
Examples:
Club Mosses
Grow on moist woodlands near streams

15. Horsetails

16. Seedless Vascular Plants
Examples:
Horsetails
Steams are jointed

20. Gymnosperms Characteristics: Seed plant that produce Naked Seeds
Have needle-like or scale-like leaves and deep growing roots

21. Gymnosperms Examples: Cycads- palm trees with cones
Conifers- Cone bearing plants; aka Evergreens because they keep their leaves year-round
Ginkgoes- Ginkgo biloba
Gnetophytes- live in hot desert and tropical rainforest

22. Cycads
Look like Palm trees with cones

23. Conifers
Cone Bearing Plants
Evergreens (keep leaves year-round)

24. Ginkgoes
Only ONE species:
Ginkgo biloba

25. Gnetophytes
Live in hot deserts and tropical rainforests

26. Gymnosperm Life Cycle
Use POLLEN and SEEDS to reproduce!

27. Seeds- 3 main parts

28. Seed Dispersal
The scattering of seeds so they are away from the parent plant.

29. Seed Dispersal Video What are some ways that seeds are dispersed?
What are the 3 parts of a seed?

30. Angiosperms Characteristics: Produce flowers
Seeds are enclosed in fruits

31. Angiosperms Characteristics: FLOWER
Reproductive structure of an angiosperm

32. Angiosperms Characteristics: FRUIT
Ripened ovary and other structures that enclose one or more seeds
(Fruit Development)
