Vascular and Non-vascular plants

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

• vascular plant

• nonvascular plant

• xylem

• phloem

Which of the following is NOT a characterstic of an organism in the plant kingdom?

• has a cell wall and chlorophyll

• are autotrophs

• are heterotrophs

• don’t physically move from one place to another

Plants are classified into which two major groups?

• Vertebrate and Invertebrate

• Vascular and Nonvascular

• Autotroph and Heterotroph

• Carnivore and Herbivore

Due to a lack of vascular tissue they must obtain nutrients directly from the environment and distribute it from cell to cell throughout the plant:

• Vascular Plants

• Non-Vascular Plants

Which of the following is not an example of a non-vascular plant?

• Trees

• Mosses

• Liverworts

• Hornworts

The vascular tissue that transports food (sugar) from the leaves to the rest of the plant is called:

• Xylem

• Phloem

• Seeds

• Spores

These types of plants are able to grow taller because of the added support and faster nutrient transport of xylem and phloem.

• Seedless plants
• Vascular plants
• Seeded plants
• Nonvascular plants
