Tracheophytes
Bryophytes
 found near H20 and absorb water because it has only
a few cells thick
 vascular = tube like structure to transport nutrients
 grow from spores
 seedless nonvascular Example: moss
 seedless vascular Example: ferns
Tracheophytes
 Seed plants- have roots, stem, leaves, and vascular
tissue
 seed is reproductive part of a plant that contains
plant embryo and stored food
2 Types of seed plants
Gymnosperm
Angiosperm
Gymnosperm - vascular plants that produce seeds on
scales of female cones
- (naked seed) not protected by a fruit
- Do not produce flowers
- Most leaves are needle-like
- Include: conifers, cycads, gingkoes and gnetophytes
Most produce male and female cones on
same tree.
Angiosperm- seed is enclosed in a fruit
- produce flowers
Monocot
-1 seed leaf
Dicot
-2 seed leaves
Gymnosperms and Angiosperms have same basic
structure (roots, stems, and leaves)
