***Create a foldable drawing using Figure 22-7 & Title it “Overview of the Plant Kingdom”
Be sure to draw, color and label just as you see the diagram in the book.

OUTSIDE: Characteristics of ALL Plants:
INSIDE: Multicellular, Have Cell Walls made of CELLULOSE, & Are Eukaryotic;
(**Not all plants produce seeds!)
***2 Tabs with colored illustrations on the outside!
OUTSIDE: NON-VASCULAR PLANT
INSIDE: Plants that lack the vascular system (xylem & phloem) for transporting water & nutrients. Nonvascular plants do not have true roots, stems or leaves. They grow close to the ground and water is transported
upward through the plant by osmosis. EX: Mosses, Liverworts, Horworts;
OUTSIDE: VASCULAR PLANT
INSIDE: Any plant that has a specialized conducting system consisting mostly of phloem (food conducting
tissue) & xylem (water conducting tissue), collectively called vascular tissue. Ferns, gymnosperms (conebearing plants), & angiosperms (flowering plants), are all vascular plants.
***2 Tabs with colored illustrations on the outside!
OUTSIDE: GYMNOSPERM
INSIDE: A seed plant that bears it seeds directly on the surfaces of cones. EX: Gnetophytyes, Cycads, Conifers
(evergreens), Ginkgoes;
OUTSIDE: ANGIOSPERM
INSIDE: Flowering plants that flower & form fruits with seeds. Seeds are enclosed in a dry or fleshy fruit that
develops from an ovary within the flower. The Class angiosperm has two subclasses: monocot & dicot, which
differ in the number of “cotyledons” (seed leaf).
***2 Tab (each tab should have several illustrations & labels on the outside…)
OUTSIDE: MONOCOT (with parallel vein, floral parts multiple of 6; Seed with one cotyledon, & Scattered
vascular bundles drawn, colored and labeled);
INSIDE: An angiosperm whose seeds have one cotyledon. (Cotyledeon- first leaf or pair of leaves produced by
the embryo of a seed plant).
OUTSIDE: DICOT (with floral parts in multiples of 4 or 5, seed with two cotyledons, branched leaf, vascular
bundle in a circle drawn, colored and labeled on the outside..)
INSIDE: An angiosperm whose seed has two cotyledons.

Dicots”
