Index

We can classify plants in 2 ways:

1-*Vascular plants *NON-vascular plants

2-*Flowering plants *NON-flowering plants

Classifying plants

Vascular plants(Gymnosperms

)They have roots and Phloem and Xylem, tubes through which sap goes, so they take the water and nutrients from the soilExamples : fir,Pinetree,cypress…..They reproduce with SEEDS

NON-vascular plants

(Mosses)They do not have roots , Phloem or XylemSo they take the water from the enviroment because they have especial leavesThey have like roots but not to take the water, they have that to stick in many placesThey reproduce with SPORES

Vascular and NON-vascular

plants

Flowering plants

(Angiosperms)

The most numerous groupThey have beautiful, scent, big flowers, they grow with seeds insideExamples : lavender,apple tree…

NON-flowering

plants(Ferns)

Mostly found in forests , they love dark and humid places , also coldThey reproduce with SPORES

Flowering and NON-flowering

plants

There are 3 types of plants :The plants that only have the male part( the STAMEN )The plants that only have the female part( the PISTIL )The plants that have the male and female parts ( the 2 things )

Sexual reproduction

They are 2 types of pollination :Insect pollinationWind pollination( I am going to explain that later )

Types of pollination

There are 5 types of Asexual reproduction :CuttingGraftingRhizomes ( these are specialized stems that grow underground )Stolons ( specialized stems that grow above ground )Tuber : potatoes grow new plants . They also are specialized underground .

Asexual reproduction

1 flowers have pollen on the top of the stamens2 the pollen smells delicious to insects 3 insects eat pollen and sticky nectar so… the pollen travels inside the pistil because insects take pollen everywere!4 when the ovule touches a NEW SEED is growing

Insect pollination

If the flowers are not atractive the wind does the work .
