Study Notes
Plant Kingdom Classification
- Vascular Plants: Have a tube-like water transport system consisting of roots, stems, and leaves.
- Non-Vascular Plants: Lack a water transport system, meaning no roots, stems, or leaves are present.
Types of Vascular Plants
- Angiosperm Plants: Vascular plants that produce seeds within flowers and fruits.
- Gymnosperm Plants: Vascular plants that produce cones or naked seeds; do not produce flowers or fruits.
Cellular Organisms
- Bacteria: Small, single-celled organisms lacking a nucleus.
- Protists: Organisms that can be single-celled or multi-celled, sharing traits with plants, fungi, and animals.
- Fungi: Kingdom of organisms with a nucleus, obtaining nutrients through decomposing others.
Seed Classification
- Monocots: Angiosperms characterized by having only one seed leaf.
- Dicots: Angiosperms that possess two seed leaves (cotyledons).
Reproductive Structures
- Spores: Reproductive cells featuring a hard protective coating.
- Seeds: Plant structures encasing a young plant within a protective cover.
- Flowers: Reproductive structures specific to angiosperms.
Plant Structures
- Leaves: Main organs for photosynthesis in vascular plants.
- Stems: Structural supports linking roots and leaves, facilitating water and nutrient transport.
- Fruit: Mature ovary of a flower, protecting dormant seeds and assisting in their dispersal.
- Roots: Absorb water and minerals; anchor the plant in the ground.
Plant Life Cycle
- Progresses through stages: seeds → seedling → young plant → mature adult plant → flowers & fruit.
Specific Plant Types
- Ferns: Seedless vascular plants.
- Moss: Small, herbaceous non-vascular plants in the phylum Bryophyta.
- Conifers: Trees that bear cones.
- Algae: Simple plants without stems or leaves, typically found in or near water.
Additional Classification
- Bryophytes: Non-vascular plants such as moss, liverworts, and hornworts that produce spores.
- Pteridophytes: Seedless vascular plants with small roots, soft stems, and compound leaves, which include ferns.
Gymnosperms & Angiosperms
- Gymnosperms: Vascular plants with "naked seeds", such as pine cones; also known as softwood trees used in paper production.
- Angiosperms: Vascular plants producing flowers and covered seeds within an ovary; the most abundant plant type on Earth, known as hardwood trees suitable for furniture and construction.
