2. Plant Classification Kingdom Plantae Kingdom Plantae Phylum: Bryophyta – Mosses, Liverworts & Hornworts Phylum: Bryophyta – Mosses, Liverworts & Hornworts Phylum: Tracheophyta – Phylum: Tracheophyta – Primitive Spore Producing Vascular plants Primitive Spore Producing Vascular plants Ferns, Horsetails & Club “Mosses” Ferns, Horsetails & Club “Mosses” Advanced Seed Producing Vascular Plants Advanced Seed Producing Vascular Plants Class: Gymnospermae Class: Gymnospermae Class: Angiospermae Class: Angiospermae Subclass: Monocotyledoneae Subclass: Monocotyledoneae Subclass: Dicotyledoneae Subclass: Dicotyledoneae

5. Class - Gymnospermae 1. Seed producing plants that produce “naked” seeds, seeds not enclosed in a fruit. 1. Seed producing plants that produce “naked” seeds, seeds not enclosed in a fruit. 2. Most have needle-like leaves (conifers: pines, firs and cedars) 2. Most have needle-like leaves (conifers: pines, firs and cedars) 3. Some with “regular” leaves (Ginkgo) 3. Some with “regular” leaves (Ginkgo) 4. Often are cone producers 4. Often are cone producers

6. Class Angiospermae Seeds are produced and protected by a fruit of some kind. Seeds are produced and protected by a fruit of some kind. AKA Flower producing plants AKA Flower producing plants Two subclasses of Angiosperms: Two subclasses of Angiosperms: Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons

7. Seed Types Gymnospermae – “naked” “seed” Gymnospermae – “naked” “seed” Angiospermae – “container” “seed” Angiospermae – “container” “seed”

8. Monocot vs. Dicot Monocots: Corn, wheat, palms, grasses, orchids, lilies Monocots: Corn, wheat, palms, grasses, orchids, lilies Leaf veins usually parallel Leaf veins usually parallel Flower parts in multiples of three Flower parts in multiples of three Vascular bundles are scattered in stem Vascular bundles are scattered in stem Usually fibrous root Usually fibrous root One cotyledon One cotyledon  Dicotyledons: roses, maple, oaks, beans, apples,  Leaf veins branched: Palmate or Pinnate  Flower –parts in multiples of 4 or 5  Vascular bundles are arranged in a ring in the stem  Usually tap root system  Two cotyledons in the seed

9. Plant Responses and Growth Phototropism: Plant stems grow toward light (positive phototropism), roots grow away from light (negative phototropism) Phototropism: Plant stems grow toward light (positive phototropism), roots grow away from light (negative phototropism) Gravitropism: Plant stems grow away from the source of gravity (grow up ) (negative gravtropic)) and roots grow toward the source of gravity (positive gravitropic) (grow down) Gravitropism: Plant stems grow away from the source of gravity (grow up ) (negative gravtropic)) and roots grow toward the source of gravity (positive gravitropic) (grow down) Thigmotropism: Plant response to touch stimuli (Venus flytrap snaps shuts) Thigmotropism: Plant response to touch stimuli (Venus flytrap snaps shuts) Gravitropism
