1. PLANT KINGDOM

2. Multicellular Photosynthetic Eukaryotic Tissues (xylem & phloem) Organ systems (leaves, stems, roots, flowers) Alternation of generations- produce spores during part of their lifetime (asexual reproduction) and gametes during another time (sexual reproduction)

3. MOSS- Bryophytes Simplest plants No vascular system Needs a steady supply of moisture Very small

4. FERNS- Pterophytes Has a vascular system Does not have seeds, has spores

5. CONIFERS- Gymnosperms Needle & cone bearing trees & shrubs Redwoods, pine trees, sequioas Have seeds but they don’t have a fruit around them Produce pollen w/sperm inside Wind moves the pollen to the ovule, fertilization w/out water Most conifers are evergreens

7. FLOWERING PLANTS- Angiosperms Cotyledon- food storage organ of a plant embryo that becomes the 1 st leaves, supplies the embryo w/a food supply Grasses, flowers, trees, vines Most complex plants Have seeds w/a fruit covering them that provides food for the embryo Pollinators carry the pollen (birds, insects, mammals

9. DICOTS Seeds have 2 halves (trees, peanuts) Have leaves w/netted veins Petals in groups of 4 or 5 Xylem/phloem arranged in rings

10. MONOCOTS Seeds have one piece (grass, corn) Have leaves w/parallel veins Petals in groups of 3 Xylem/phloem are scattered

11. Annual- live only for a year Perennial-live for several years

12. ROOT SYSTEMS Taproot- accumulate & store food in the roots (carrot, beet) Fibrous root- massive threadlike roots (grass, corn)

13. 2 TYPES OF STEMS Woody (bark) Herbaceous (soft, flexible)

14. PARTS OF A FLOWER Stamen & anther (male) Pistil & ovary (female)

15. ADAPTATIONS Flower- color, scent, petal designs to attract pollinators Leaf- contains cells w/chloroplasts, where photosynthesis take place, waxy surface, spines, protective layer (cuticle), stomata- holes to let CO 2 Stem- support & transport of glucose & water, woody layer, thorns for protection Roots- large surface area for osmosis, root hairs increase surface area
