Study Notes

Non-flowering Plant Reproduction

Types of Plants:
- Vascular Plants:
  - Have a transport system for water and food.
  - Examples: Ferns, pine trees, cycads, and ginkgos.
- Nonvascular Plants:
  - Small and survive without a transport system.
  - Examples: Mosses, hornworts, and liverworts.
Spores:
- Produced by ferns and nonvascular plants.
- Have tough outer coverings for protection.
- Develop into new plants.
- Can survive until the right conditions for growth are present.
Gymnosperms:
- Seed plants that do not produce flowers.
- Examples: pine trees, cycads, and ginkgos.
- Have hard, uncovered seeds.
Pine Trees
- Store seeds in cones.

### Angiosperms

Flowering plants
Examples: mango, rambutan, and papaya.
