1 Classification of Plants

2 2 The Plant Kingdom (main characteristics) 3) They have chloroplasts in the cells 2) Plants make their own food by photosynthesis 1) Multi-celled organisms organelle where photosynthesis takes place chloroplasts- ● They’re green because they have chlorophyll ● The chemical that gives plants their green color Chlorophyll- ● Traps light energy for photosynthesis

3 A plant can be divided into 3 parts leaf

4 Plant Classification Non-flowering (spores) Plants Flowering No true roots, stem and leaves Mosses Ferns Gymnosperms Seeds and fruits Angiosperms Naked seeds 2 leaves in the seed Monocots Dicots 1 leaf in the seed True roots, stem and leaves

5 Plant Kingdom Flowering Plants Non-flowering Plants

6  2 groups Ferns Mosses Non - flowering Plants Do NOT produce flowers

7  No true roots, No conductor vessels Characteristics of Mosses  Simple stems & leaves  Have rhizoids for anchorage  Reproduction: by spores made in capsules  They live in damp shady places  The simplest plants

8 Examples of Mosses

9 spores Spore-producing capsule

10

11  roots, feathery leaves & underground stems Characteristics of Ferns vascular tissues  have vascular tissues (transport & support) Dampshady  Damp & shady places spore-producing organs  Reproduction: by spores. The spore-producing organs are located on the underside of leaves

12 underground stem root A leaf (finely divided into small parts)

13

14  2 groups GymnospermsAngiosperms Flowering Plants ...roots, stems, leaves ...vascular tissues (transport) ...flowers and seeds Flowering plants have…

15

16  roots, woody stems Characteristics of Gymnosperms  needle-shaped leaves  tall evergreen trees  cones with insignificant flowers  live in dry places  vascular tissues (transport)  naked seeds in female cones

17 needle-shaped leaves

18 Male cones (in clusters) Female cones (scattered)

19  Seeds are enclosed by a fruit Characteristics of Angiosperms  They have true flowers  Herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees  This is the largest phylum with over 240,000 species 

20 2 subgroups of ANGIOSPERMS Determined by counting the number of seed leaves or COTYLEDONS 1.MONOCOTS: they have one leaf in their seeds. 1.DICOTS: they have 2. two leaves in their 3.seeds.

21 Monocotyledons Parallel veins

22  one seed-leaf Characteristics of Monocotyledons  leaves have parallel veins  herbaceous plants  e.g. grass, maize

23 Dicotyledons Veins in network

24  two seed-leaves Characteristics of Dicotyledons  leaves have veins in network  e.g. trees, sunflower, rose

25 Plant Classification Non-flowering (spores) Plants Flowering No true roots, stem and leaves Mosses Ferns Gymnosperms Seeds and fruits Angiosperms Naked seeds 2 leaves in the seed Monocots Dicots 1 leaf in the seed True roots, stem and leaves
