Characteristics of Algae
Eukaryotes Most unicellular, but some multicellular Autotrophic Produce oxygen that is returned to the atmosphere Range in size from microscopic to hundreds of feet in length Do not have true roots, stems, nor leaves Form gametes (eggs & sperm) Found in freshwater, marine, and moist soil habitats Most have flagella

Bryophytes Bryophytes are small, nonvascular plants. Bryophytes lack vascular tissue and have life cycles dominated by the gametophyte phase. Roots are absent in bryophytes, instead there are root-like structures known as rhizoids.
23
Moss Life cycle
24
Pteridophytes Pteridophytes are vascular plants have specialized transporting cells xylem (for transporting water and mineral nutrients) and phloem (for transporting sugars from leaves to the rest of the plant). Pteridophytes are larger and more complex than bryophytes, and have a life cycle where the sporophyte is more prominent than the gametophyte.

Vascular tissues development

Fern Life cycle
27
Spermatophyta The Seed Plants
28
Alternation of Generations
29
Seed producing plants can be divided into two groups
Gymnosperms - produce seeds but the seeds are not contained inside any structure. These plants have cones. Angiosperms - the seeds are produced inside and “ovary” which becomes the fruit. These plants have flowers.
