Sort the following into the correct category based upon whether they are vascular or nonvascular.

answer

(a) Vascular

Includes seedless plants like club mosses, ferns and horsetails

---

(b) Nonvascular

Lack true leaves and stems and roots

Reproduce asexually or through spores

Groups:

(a) Vascular Plant

,

(b) Nonvascular Plant

• Stay short and close to the ground

• Grow tall because of xylem & phloem

• Must live in a moist habitat

• Gymnosperms

  and angiosperms

The table shows the characteristics of several different plants. Which two plants in the table could be grouped together based upon their characteristics?

• Rose and algae could be grouped together as a vascular plant since they have roots, stems, and leaves.

• Pine tree and rose could be grouped together as a vascular plant since they have roots, stems, and leaves.

• Fern and pine tree could be grouped together as seeded vascular plants since they both reproduce with seeds.

• Fern and algae could be grouped together as non-seeded vascular plants since they both do not reproduce with seeds.

The term "invertebrate" means the organism that

• does not have a backbone.

• makes its own food.

• has a backbone.

• contains vascular tissue.

Which group of organisms have members who are ectothermic (cold-blooded), have scales, and lay eggs?

• Reptiles

• Birds
