Study Notes
Plant Classification Characteristics
- Plants are primarily classified based on reproductive structures and methods, including seed formation and flower presence.
Bryophytes
- This group of plants, such as mosses, lacks true roots, stems, and leaves, relying instead on simple structures for support and nutrient absorption.
Gymnosperm Reproduction
- Gymnosperms reproduce primarily through exposed seeds, typically found in cones, and utilize wind for pollination.
Angiosperms vs. Gymnosperms
- A key difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms is that angiosperms produce flowers and fruits, while gymnosperms do not.
Vascular vs. Non-Vascular Plants
- The major differentiating feature is the presence of vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) in vascular plants, which facilitates water and nutrient transport, absent in non-vascular plants.
