Plant Classification

The plant kingdom is divided into two main groups:

• flowering & non-flowering

• spores & seeds

• trees & plants

• conifers & flowering plants

Flowering plants are called:

• pretty

• monocotyledons

• dicotyledons

• angiosperms

Plants that reproduce from seeds can be further divided into:

• monocots & dicots

• angiosperms & dicotyledons

• conifers & flowering plants

• spores & conifers

What is a minute, typically single-cell reproductive unit capable of giving rise to a new individual without sexual fusion?

• embryo

• seed

• spore

• angiosperm

Conifers (pine trees) reproduce by making:

• male & female cones

• spores

• angiosperms

• runners

Flowering plants (angiosperms) are split into two further categories called:

• monocotyledons & tricotyledons

• dicotyledons & monocotyledons

• protists & spores

• seeding & seedless

What is NOT a characteristic of a monocot plant?

• parallel veins

• flowers in multiples of three

• Fibrous Roots

• Taproots

What is a characteristic of a dicot plant?

• leaf veins resemble a net of web

• leaf veins are parallel

• Fibrous root system

• flowers in multiples of three

What is a characteristic of a monocot plant?

• Fibrous root system

• taproot

• leaf veins resemble a net/web

• Embryo has 2 cotyledons

What is the difference between a monocot (corn) plant seed & a dicot (bean) plant seed?

• (monocot) corn seed is bigger then a (dicot) bean seed

• (monocot) corn seed is always yellow where a (dicot) bean seed can be many different colors

• (monocot) corn seed has a single cotyledon, while a (dicot) bean seed has two cotyledons

• (monocot) corn seed germinates at a lower temperature than a dicot (bean) seed
