| KINGDOM PLANTAE |
 |
multicellular (made of many cells), |
|
they use chlorophyll to make their own food, |
|
they cannot move about, |
|
and their cells are specialized for different tasks such as support of the plant or transport of nutrients. |
|
Contains mostly green, multicellular organisms |
|
Cells are of various types and form special organs |
|
Organs assist in the production of food and reproduction of the plant |
|
Members of the five phyla can be distinguished by |
|
Where they live |
|
Their color |
|
Whether or not they have an internal transport system for carrying food materials |
|
Live mostly in cool seawater |
|
Contain gold and green pigments that give them a brown color |
|
Those living in shallow waters have root-like organs (holdfasts) |
|
Have stem-like organs (stipes) and leaf-like organs (blades) |
|
Provide food and shelter for numerous ocean animals |
|
Usually live in warm tropical seawater |
|
Sometimes they live deep in the water (up to 200 meters) |
|
They are red because they have a red pigment |
|
The red absorbs the blue light that penetrates deep into the ocean (allowing photosynthesis to occur to make their own food) |
|
Gelatin substitutes and other foods are obtained from this phylum |
|
Show the most variety |
|
Live on surfaces and near the shores of oceans |
|
Found on the surfaces of fresh water |
|
On land, they cover the surfaces that receive sunlight and stay damp |
|
They are green, store food and have cell walls (this makes them the most like land plants |
|
Have no transport system in their bodies to carry materials |
|
Small green plants that live only in moist places |
|
Rarely grow larger than 15 centimeters |
|
25,000 different kinds of byophytes exist |
|
Most common are mosses |
|
and liverworts |
|
Have vessels that transport food, water, and minerals to all parts of the plant body |
|
Classes of Tracheophytes | |
|
Those that have no seeds- FERNS | |
|
Gymnosperms are naked seed plants. Seeds are NOT enclosed in an ovary. Example: CONE-BEARING PLANTS such as a pine tree with cones. | |
|
Angiosperms are flowering plants. They are the only plants with flowers and fruits. Produce seeds covered by an ovary that develops into a fruit. An example is apple, pear, peach and plum trees. | |
|
Two types of Angiosperms: | |
|
Monocots | |
|
Dicots | |
