4 General Characteristics:

3) Chloroplasts – responsible for

photosynthesis

2) Autotrophic (make own food –photosynthesis)

1) Eukaryotic / Multi-celled organisms

4). Chlorophyll- gives

plants green color

Vascular Plants-plants that have tube-like cells in their roots, stems, & leaves that carry H2O and nutrients

•Vascular comes from the Latin word “vasculum” which means “vessel”

• Lose their leaves like a pet sheds

Vascular Plants: 2 Types of Tubes

tube-like cells that tube-like cells that carry water carry water & dissolved & dissolved minerals minerals fromfrom the the roots to leavesroots to leaves

tube-liketube-like cells that cells that carry carry foodfood, from , from leaves leaves (Photosynthesis), (Photosynthesis), to to all partsall parts of of the plantthe plant

each one has a specific function (job)

a) xylem b) phloem

vascular plants have 2 different types of tube-like structures inside them

think of tiny pipes...like a plumbing system

Vascular Plants (Seedless)

Ferns-usually grow in moist shady

areas

•they have adapted to grow in other environments:

• stem stores the food & water

- aquatic (water)- dry climates- tropical regions

Vascular Plants: Seedless (ferns)

Fern Leaf

• divided into tiny leaflets that look “feathery”

• loses leaves at the end of each growing season

• ferns are classified by their leaves

•reproduce by spores formed on

the underside of the leaf

Fern Reproduction

• the cases that hold the spores look like brown and orange spots

Vascular Seed PlantsVascular Seed Plants Gymnosperms Nonflowering Examples Conifers, Pines, Cycads Needle-like leaves Most are evergreen Soft wood. Reproductive structure is a cone or

cone-like structure.

Vascular Plants: Seed Plants (conifers)

Evergreens-

type of conifer (cone-bearing) that keeps its leaves all year long

• lose leaves but not all at same time

• example: pine, spruce, fir and cypress trees

pollination Seeds found in

Tree, Rose, Oak, Maple, Corn, and Grass
