Study Notes
Classification of Living Things
- The primary basis for classifying all living organisms is their body structure.
Plant Groups
- Tracheophytes refer to plants that possess a vascular system, essential for transporting water and nutrients.
- Bryophytes are non-vascular plants, often likened to moss, that lack a vascular system for internal transport.
Reproductive Methods
- Gymnosperms reproduce through seeds that develop inside cones or cone-like structures.
- Angiosperms reproduce by forming seeds within flowers, showcasing a significant difference from gymnosperms.
Reproductive Structures
- Spores are minute, single-celled structures that serve as a reproductive unit, capable of developing into a new plant.
Moss Anatomy
- Rhizoids are hair-like threads that enable mosses to anchor themselves to moist surfaces or soil, aiding in water and nutrient absorption.
