    Study Notes

    Plant Kingdom Classification

    • Plant kingdom is divided into various groups based on reproductive structures and life cycles.
    • Major divisions: Thallophyta, Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms.

    Thallophyta

    • Comprises simple plants such as algae.
    • Lacks true roots, stems, and leaves.
    • Bodies are often autotrophic due to chlorophyll presence.
    • Example: Spirogyra, which has spiral chloroplasts.

    Bryophyta

    • Known as amphibians of the plant kingdom due to their requirement for water for reproduction.
    • Lacks specialized conducting tissues for food and water.
    • Plant body is typically differentiated into stem-like and leaf-like structures.
    • Examples include Moss (Funaria) and Marchantia.

    Pteridophyta

    • Possesses true roots, stems, and leaves.
    • Has conducting tissues, making it more advanced than Bryophytes.
    • Reproduces via spores and includes ferns like Nephrolepis and Adiantum.

    Gymnosperms

    • Seed-bearing plants that do not produce flowers and fruits.
    • Reproductive organs are cones, and seeds are exposed.
    • Examples include Cycas, Picea, and Thuja.

    Angiosperms

    • Flowering plants with encased seeds (in fruits).
    • Reproductive organs are flowers, showcasing high evolutionary advancement.
    • Examples include Mango and Bamboo, which feature natural coverings for their seeds.

    Key Comparisons

    • Bryophyta vs Pteridophyta

      • Bryophytes need water for reproduction; Pteridophytes do not.
      • Bryophytes lack true roots, stems, and leaves; Pteridophytes have them.
      • Conducting tissues are absent in Bryophytes, present in Pteridophytes.

    • Angiosperms vs Gymnosperms

      • Angiosperms have flowers; Gymnosperms have cones.
      • Seeds of Angiosperms are enclosed; Gymnosperm seeds are exposed.
      • Angiosperms often showcase a variety of fruit types, while Gymnosperms lack this characteristic.

    • Cryptogams vs Phanerogams

      • Cryptogams reproduce via spores; Phanerogams reproduce via seeds.
      • Cryptogams include Thallophyta and Bryophyta; Phanerogams include Gymnosperms and Angiosperms.

    Monocots vs Dicots

    • Monocots
      • Single cotyledon in seeds.
      • Fibrous root system.
      • Parallel venation in leaves.
      • Flowers usually in multiples of three (trimerous).
    • Dicots
      • Two cotyledons in seeds.
      • Well-developed tap root system.
      • Reticulate venation in leaves.
      • Flowers typically have four or five parts (tetramerous or pentamerous).

    General Plant Characteristics

    • Cell wall and plastids are present in plant cells, distinguishing them from animal cells.
    • Non-seed bearing plants do not produce fruits or flowers, classified under Thallophyta and Bryophyta.
    • Classification criteria include the presence of conducting tissues and the ability to bear seeds, flowers, and fruits.
