How many groups of species are found within the Kingdom Plantae?
Name the 4 classifications in the Kingdom Plantae
Angiosperms, Gymnosperms, Bryophytes,Pteriodophytes
Define Kingdom Plantae
The taxonomic kingdom that contains all plant species
Which classification is the largest group within the kingdom?
Angiosperms
What type of environment are Pteridophytes commonly found in?
Any plant with a flower (Sunflower, lilly, tulip,etc)
Talk about the lifecycle of Pteridophytes
Produces spores on the back of the leaves, which grows into gametophytes and fertilizes eggs on top of the spores. These sporophytes grown into leaves and produce spore which completing the lifecycle.
Name 2 differences between dicots and monocotangiosperms
Dicot/ Monocot
Bundled vasculars/ dispersed vasculars
Net like Veins/ parallel Veins
3 Pores in pollen/ 1 pore in pollen
4 or 5 Floral Parts/ 3 Floral parts
2 Cotyledons/ 1 Cotyledon
What is found in the flowers of plants?
The reproductive parts
Why is Kingdom Plantae important?
Goes through the process of photosynthesis and provides other organisms food and oxygen
What is the difference between non-vascular and vascular plants?
Vascular plants have vascular vessels to transport water and food throughout the plant. Non- vascular plants lack a vascular system and do not have the mechanics required for transporting food and water far distances.
What is the difference between a Gymnosperm and an Angiosperm?
The seed of the Gymnosperm is on the surface of scales or leaves of the plant, while the seeds of the Angiosperms have seeds that are enclosed in the ovaries of the fruit.
Xylem - Water and mineral transport from roots to the aerialparts of the plant.
Phloem - Transportation of food and nutrients such assugar and amino acids from leaves to storage organs and growing parts of plant.
Name an example of a Gynosperm?
Musci (mosses), Hepaticae (liverworts), Anthocerotae (hornworts)
Name the three types of Gymnosperms
Cycadidae, Ginkgoldae, Pinidae
-Most common type of Byophyte
-Don't have roots and have long thin cells known as Rhizoids thatattach the moss to the ground, acting similarily to a root
