Plant Groups
What is a non-vascular plant?
simple, primitive plants that lack true roots, stems, and leaves, and therefore lack vascular tissues for efficient water and nutrient transport.
How many stages are in a plants life cycle?
There are 5
a type of vascular seed-bearing plant whose seeds are not enclosed in an ovary, meaning they are "naked" and typically form on scales arranged in cones.
Gymnosperm
Plants that come back twice a year
Biennials
What is a vascular plant?
A land plant with specialized internal tissues, or vascular tissues, that transport water, nutrients, and food throughout the organism.
This is where the young plant establishes its roots and develops true leaves, becoming capable of photosynthesis and gaining the energy needed to grow stronger and more resilient to its environment.
Seedling Stage
Plants that come back only once a year ?
Annual
a one-time planting that will come back on their own.
Perennials
Mosses and livetrworts belong to this group?
What are non-vascular plants?
The plant grows in size and strength, developing a robust root system and a strong stem to support it.
Vegetative Stage
A flowering plant that has one cotyledon, or embryonic seed leaf, in its seed
Monocot
Are Angiosperms male or Female?
They are both male and female.
What is diffusion?
This is when the plant produces flowers and fruits, which contain seeds that will start the cycle anew, ensuring the species' survival.
Reproductive Stage
Dicots
A type of flowering plant characterized by having two embryonic leaves (cotyledons) in its seed
What is the habitat of Gymnosperm?
cold boreal forests and high alpine regions to arid deserts and tropical forests
Because they lack vascular tissue, these plants usually grow in damp, shady places.
What are mosses?
After pollination, the flower develops into a fruit containing new seeds. These seeds are then dispersed to new areas by wind, animals, or gravity, ready to begin the cycle again.
Seed Production and Dispersal
A diverse group of flowering plants that reproduce by producing seeds enclosed within a fruit.
Angiosperms
What are the three types of Angiosperm?
basal angiosperms, monocots, and dicots
