Flowering Plant Life Cycle:
Seed ->
Germination -> Seedling -> Flowering/Pollination
Two ways plants reproduce: spores and seeds
How plants are classified: vascular and nonvascular
Vascular Plants: have tubes that carry water and food to their parts, made up of three
parts(roots, stems and leaves)
Nonvascular Plants: do not have any tubes to carry water and food to their parts.
They absorb water directly like a sponge. They grow in damp and shady places.
Recipe for Photosynthesis: carbon dioxide, sunlight, water, chlorophyll
Conifers: make seeds in cones. Example: pinecones
How seeds spread: water, wind, animals and gravity
