Kingdom Plantae

Anotações:

• -Aquatic -Very similar to protists -Very archaic. 

1. No Vascular Tissue

Anotações:

• -Live in moist areas. -Short

1. No Vascular Tissue

   Anotações:

   • -Due to the lack of this tissue, these plants develop no stem and as such are usually short since they have no way to move water and nutrients through them. -Instead, they can just diffuse water and nutrients since they either live in water or in moist areas.
2. Seedless

   Anotações:

   • Use spores but no seeds to reproduce.

Anotações:

• -Like moist areas bur can adapt to drier areas. -Require moisture for reproduction. -Larger in size compared to other seedless plants.

Anotações:

• -Flowering plants with both reproductive parts (male and female). -Pollen is dispersed by wind and animals alike. -Their seeds are covered by fruit which protects them and helps with dispersion. - Life cycles of annual(grows and blooms once, then die), Perennial (Blooms once and then goes dormant before growing and blooming again), and Biennial (grows twice a year before blooming and then dies).

1. Seeds

   Anotações:

   • -Pollen fertilizes the ovules and a seed is produced. -Embryo with food source in protective covering. -Already fertilized. -Can stay dormant if the environment is unfavorable.
3. Monocots

   Anotações:

   • -They are also their own kind of clade. -Vascular bundles are spread all round the stem. -Pollen has 1 pore(hole). -Parallel lead veins. -Floral parts in sets of 3s. -One Cotyledon(Leaf of the seeds embryo).
4. Dicots

   Anotações:

   • -Vascular Bundles are organized into a ring. -Floral parts in sets of 4s or 5s. -Net-like leaf veins. -Pollen has 3 pores(holes). -Has 2 cotyledons (leaves of the seed embryo).
   1. 2 Mayor Groups
5. Amborella
6. Magnoliids
7. Eudicots
   1. Clades
8. Water Lilies

Anotações:

• Each one only has one reproductive part (male or female). Rely on wind for dispersion of sperm cells.

2. Vascular Tissue

   Anotações:

   • -Specialized tissue for transportation and storage of water and nutrients. -It also gives support to the plant and allows it to develop a stem. +Since they grow a stem, some of them also get bark and wood and become trees.- As such, they can live in drier environments than non-vascular plants.
