TaxonomyTaxonomy Plants are Plants are
divided into two divided into two groups based on groups based on the presence or the presence or absence of an absence of an internal internal transport transport system for water system for water and dissolved and dissolved materials, called materials, called Vascular SystemVascular System
VasculaVascular r BundleBundless
66
Vascular SystemVascular System XylemXylem tissue carries water tissue carries water
and minerals upward from and minerals upward from the rootsthe roots
PhloemPhloem tissue carries sugars tissue carries sugars made by photosynthesis from made by photosynthesis from the leaves to where they will the leaves to where they will be stored or usedbe stored or used

Nonvascular PlantsNonvascular Plants Probably the Probably the
earliest land plantsearliest land plants
Do not have Do not have vascular tissue for vascular tissue for support or support or conduction of conduction of minerals and waterminerals and water
Examples are Examples are mosses, liverworts mosses, liverworts and hornwortsand hornworts

Vascular Vascular PlantsPlants
Have transportation tubes Have transportation tubes
Have true roots, stems Have true roots, stems and leavesand leaves
Waxy outer covering Waxy outer covering called the called the cuticlecuticle protects protects from drying out from drying out

Seed-Producing Vascular Seed-Producing Vascular PlantsPlants
Includes two groups – Includes two groups – GymnospermsGymnosperms and and AngiospermsAngiosperms
GymnospermsGymnosperms: which means : which means “naked” seed, are plants that “naked” seed, are plants that have no protective coat on their have no protective coat on their seeds- like pine treesseeds- like pine trees
AngiospermsAngiosperms: flowering plants : flowering plants whose ovules are enclosed in an whose ovules are enclosed in an ovary, which is the protective seed ovary, which is the protective seed coatcoat

AngiospermsAngiosperms Flowering plantsFlowering plants
SeedsSeeds are formed when an are formed when an egg or ovule is fertilized egg or ovule is fertilized by by pollenpollen in the ovary in the ovary
OvaryOvary is within a flower is within a flower
FruitsFruits are frequently are frequently produced from these produced from these ripened ovaries (to help ripened ovaries (to help disperse seeds)disperse seeds)
