Four Types of Plants Non-vascular Vascular Gynosperms Angiosperms
3
Nonvascular plants: Mosses Characteristics no water transport system rhizoids used to anchor spores for reproduction no seeds Where must mosses live?
4
Peat Bog “Peat Moss”
5
Primitive Vascular Plants: Ferns Characteristics internal transport system xylem/phloem & roots swimming sperm need water to reproduce spores for reproduction no seeds First true roots, stems, leaves spores Where must ferns live?
6
Ancient Tree Ferns Carboniferous forest – 290-350 mya Forests of ferns & mosses decayed into deposits of coal & oil Fossil fuels… I get it!
7
Ferns - adaptations See the first true Roots Stems Leaves Still considered primitive because ferns are still dependent on water for reproduction
8
Gymnosperms (conifers) Characteristics internal transport xylem/phloem, roots seeds “naked” seeds in cone (no fruit) pollen sperm that doesn’t have to swim
9
Diversity in conifers
10
Cones & “naked” seeds
11
male female male (pollen) cones female cones sporangium & pollen pine embryo
12
Flowering plants Characteristics internal transport system xylem/phloem, roots flower specialized structure for sexual reproduction pollen sperm that doesn’t have to swim seeds within fruit
13
FLOWER FLOWER: specialized structure found in angiosperms
14
Anther Filament Stamen Stigma Style Ovary Carpel Sepal Petal Ovule Flower 4 rings of flower parts sepals petals stamens male carpel female
15
Identify the flower structures…
16
Flower variations
