DO NOW 1.List the 8 levels of classification from largest to most specific. – Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, species 2.List the 5 classes of Animalia. – Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, Mammals

Plant Phyla

Nonvascular Plants (ex. MOSSES) What does nonvascular mean? The plant does not have vascular tissue. So, there are no veins (or tubes) to carry liquid (like water) through the plant

#1. Characteristics of Nonvascular Plants 1) Live in moist areas to absorb water and nutrients 2)Low growing WHY?

#2-4. Three Types of Nonvascular Plants Mosses LiverwortsHornworts Most common. Found on sidewalks, in cracks or on tree trunks Found on moist rocks or in soil along streams Found in moist soil mixed in with grasses

#5. How are mosses and other nonvascular plants limited by their lack of vascular tissue? They do not grow tall because they cannot transport water as far and as fast as is needed for a tall plant to survive.

Seedless Vascular Plants (ex. FERNS) No Seeds! Have vascular tissue!

#1.Characteristics of Seedless Vascular Plants 1) They have true vascular tissue 2) Do not produce seeds 3) Reproduce by releasing spores

#2. Three Groups of Seedless Vascular Plants Ferns Horsetails Club Mosses

#3. How are these plants similar and different to mosses? Mosses Vascular Plants Cannot grow tall -Can grow tall -Strong cell wall Grow in moist areas

#4. Where can you find the stem of most ferns? Page 259! See Figure 7 UNDERGROUND!

# 5. Where do club mosses usually grow? Page 260 Moist woodlands and near streams Which grow taller- mosses or club mosses?

#6. Although ferns have vascular tissue they still must live in moist, shady environments. Explain why. Page 258 So spores released by the ferns can move to the eggs for reproduction. There must be enough water available for reproduction!

Gymnosperms Conifers Cycads ginkos

#1. What is a gymnosperm? Page 272 A seed plant that produces naked seeds (not enclosed by fruit)

# 2. What are the characteristics of gymnosperms? 1) Produce naked seeds 2) Have needle-like and scale-like leaves 3) Deep growing roots

# 3. What are the four types? Cycads Conifers Ginkos Gnetophytes

#4. How do they reproduce? Page 275 Figure 19 Pollen falls from male cone onto a female cone. Eventually, the sperm cell and egg cell join together on the female cone.

Angiosperms monocotdicot

#1. What two important traits do angiosperms share? Produce flowers Produce seeds enclosed in fruit

#2. Where do angiosperms live? Almost Everywhere!

#3. How do angiosperms reproduce? Pollen from the stamen (male organ) falls on the stigma (female organ). Eventually, the sperm and egg cells join together in the flower’s ovule.

# 4-5. What are the two groups of angiosperms? MonocotsDicots Grasses, corn, wheat, rice, lillies, tulips Roses, violets, dandelions
