Science 5G: Vascular and Nonvascular Plants

Classification & Characteristics of Plants

​

Multiple Choice

• Yes

• No

Multiple Choice

Plants eat other organisms to get their nutrients.

• True

• False

Do Plants Have Tubes?

• ✔︎ Some plants have tubes, some don't.

✔︎ Like blood vessels in animals, these tubes transport nutrients to the cells for the plant to survive.

• ✔︎ Xylem moves water.

• ✔︎ Phloem moves food.

Multiple Choice

What part of the human body would you

compare to the tubes found in some plants?

• eyes

• blood vessels

• stomach

• skin

Multiple Select

Which of the following travels

through the tubes of some plants?

name all that applies

• soil

• blood

• water

• food

• milk

​

• NO tubes to transport nutrients.

• Reproduce ONLY with spores.

• Small in size to make it easier to get nutrients without a tube system.

• Live near water or in damp, humid places to get water without a tube system.

​

Nonvascular Plants

​

​

Multiple Choice

Nonvascular plants have tubes to carry nutrients.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Nonvascular plants are usually small

to make it easier to get nutrients to every cell.

• True

• False

Nonvascular Plants

Moss

Nonvascular Plants

Liverwort

Nonvascular Plants

Hornwort

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT

an example of a nonvascular plant?

• oak tree

• moss

• liverwort

• hornwort

• Have tubes to transport needed nutrients (like human

blood vessels carry oxygen, food and other materials).

• Have true roots, stems, and leaves.

• Reproduce: most with seeds, some with spores.

• Can grow large in size because move nutrients faster.

• Live almost anywhere (dry, wet, cold, hot).

Vascular Plants

Multiple Choice

Vascular plants have tubes to carry materials to all cells of the plant.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

All vascular plants reproduce with seeds.

• True

• False

Vascular Plants

Trees

Vascular Plants

Shrubs

Vascular Plants

Flowers

Vascular Plants

Grasses

Vascular Plants

Crops

Multiple Choice

All trees are vascular plants.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Specific type of plant tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots, through the stems, to leaves.

• vascular plant

• nonvascular plant

• xylem

• phloem

Multiple Choice

Specific type of plant tissue that transports food (sugar) made in the leaves to the entire plant.

• vascular plant

• nonvascular plant

• xylem

• phloem

Multiple Choice

Type of plant that is usually taller and has vascular tissue that provides support.

• vascular plant

• nonvascular plant

• xylem

• phloem

Multiple Choice

Examples of these plants include mosses, liverworts,

and other plants with no xylem or phloem.

• dicot

• vascular plant

• monocot

• nonvascular plant

Open Ended

Apple tree, ferns, horsetail, poppies, pine tree:

How are these plants similar?

What characteristic do they share?

Open Ended

How are the apple tree and the ferns different?

Seeded plants use seeds to reproduce, for example: poppies, apple trees, pine trees, cedars.

Seedless plants use spores to reproduce. They live in shaded moist areas. Ferns, horsetails, and club mosses are seedless plants.

Gymnosperms are non-flowering plants. This group includes plants that make cones like pine trees.

Angiosperms are flowering plants. They produce seeds that are enclosed in flowers or fruits, for example: tulips, lemons, and apples.
