Plant Groups
Bryophytes

1st Step
What is germination?
Monocotyledons
What is plants with one seed leaf (cotyledon), parallel-veined leaves, and flower parts in multiples of three e.g., grasses, lilies, palms
Pteridophytes
What are ferns and horsetails that have vascular tissue to transport water but reproduce via spores instead of seeds?
2nd Step
What grows into a seedling?
Dicots
What is plants with two seed leaves, net-veined leaves, and flower parts in multiples of four or five e.g., oak trees, sunflowers, roses
Gymnosperms
Whar are conifers, cycads, and ginkgo that are non-flowering woody plants that reproduce using "naked seeds" often found in cones?
3rd Step
What develops into an adult plant?
Life Cycle (Anuals)
Angiosperms
What is the largest group, making up most land plants that produce flowers and enclose their seeds within fruit?
4th Step
What is reproduction through seeds/spores?
Bianuals
What is 2 seasons
The difference between Vascular and Non-Vascular
Vascular plants have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) to transport water and nutrients, allowing them to grow much larger than non-vascular plants.
5th Step
What is seed dispersal?
Structure
What is Trees, Shrubs, Vines, and Ground covers
