The Plants

• Plants are photoautotroph's. That means they make their own food using the energy they get from the sun. They are multi-cellular eukaryotes. They have a natural history of about 450 million years and are divided into about 10 major groups. Plants are considered to be the first organisms to properly colonise the terrestrial environment.

Seedless non vascular plants

• Seedless Non Vascular plant Characteristics:• No flowers, has separate archegonium (female) and

antheridium (male)• Produce spores• Does not produce pollen, has flagellated sperm• Not associated with the insects• Gametophyte (dominant generation) and sporophyte

generation independently living but sporophyte growing out of gametophyte.

• No vascular system; nutrients moved through diffusion.

The Seedless Vascular Plants.

• Seedless Vascular plant Characteristics:• No flowers, has separate archegonium (female) and

antheridium (male)• Produce spores• Does not produce pollen, has flagellated sperm• Not associated with the insects.• Gametophyte and sporophyte (generally dominant)

generation independently living though the sporophyte grows from the archegonium which is on the gametophyte.

• Vascular system: Xylem: Tracheids and Phloem: sieve tube members
