Plant Kingdom

To be a plant you must...

Have eukaryotic cells

Be multicellular

Autotrophic (make your own food)

Multiple Choice

The cardiovascular system is responsible for..

• Pumping blood throughout your body

• Reproduction

• Digesting food

• Protecting your body from the elements

Kingdom Plantae is divided into two major groups

• Non-vascular

• Vascular

Multiple Choice

Which do you think would be considered a vascular plant?

Non-vascular Plants

NO tubes.

No stems, roots, and leaves.

Reproduce using spores

Ex: Moss, Liverwort, Hornwort

What do Non-vascular plants have in common?

-Grow close to the ground (no roots so need to be close to water)

-Found in cooler, moist locations

Multiple Choice

Which of these is a nonvascular plant?

Vascular Plants

-Have stems, roots, and leaves

-Retain water and can get very tall

-Includes: Seedless Vascular, Angiosperm, Gymnosperm

Seedless Vascular Plants

-Reproduce using spores (just like nonvascular plants)

-Require damp living conditions

Examples: Ferns, Horsetails,

Multiple Choice

What do seedless vascular plants have in common with nonvascular plants?

• They reproduce with seeds

• They reproduce with spores

• They live in dry locations

• They both get very tall

Gymnosperms

-Plants with "naked" seeds such as pinecones

-Have needle-like leaves

Examples: Conifers, Cycads, Ginkgo, Gnetophyte

Angiosperms

-Anything that produces flowers

-Flowers and then fruit protect the seeds

Multiple Choice

Tulips, daisies, sunflowers, apple trees, maple trees

• mosses

• ferns

• gymnosperms
