    Study Notes

    Plant Groups

    • Two main groups of plants: vascular and nonvascular.

    Vascular Plants

    • Tubes are located in the roots, stems, and leaves.
    • These tubes transport water and nutrients throughout the plant.
    • Leaves are the part of vascular plants responsible for carrying water and food.

    Nonvascular Plants

    • Lack tubes for transporting water and nutrients.
    • Require damp environments to thrive.

    Impact of Damage

    • Crushing or breaking the main stem can be fatal for a plant, as it disrupts the transport of water and nutrients.

    Examples of Plants

    • An example of a nonvascular plant is moss.
    • Ferns, flowers, and conifers are examples of vascular plants.

    Monerans vs. Protists

    • Monerans differ from protists in that they do not contain a nucleus.
    • Bacteria are a type of moneran.

    Classification Systems

    • Linnaeus developed a classification system for living organisms.
    • Other classification systems include clothing sizes (Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large) and types of computer software based on their usage.
