    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.
