Kingdom Plantae
* Required
1. Use your text pages 270 ­ 271 to discover the characteristics that group or classify
organisms into this important kingdom. In addition to the four listed here, what type of
cells do we find in members of this kingdom? *
2. Within Kingdom Plantae there are two major subgroups or divisions. On page 273 your
text in Figure 5, your text presents two subgroups. *
What major characteristic is used to subdivide plants (according to the table)
3. Identify the specific characteristics of nonvascular seedless plants. Read from page
274 ­ 275.) *
For each plant group (ie mosses) identify its size, habitat, & life cycle. Tell if each group has
true roots, true stems, or true leaves..

4. Return to page 273. What are the three subdivisions of vascular plants? What single
characteristic separates plants into two main groups? *
Mark only one oval.
The presence of flowers
The presence of true leaves
The presence of seeds
Size
5. Create a table differentiating Ferns, Horsetails, and Club Mosses. Compare and
contrast these based on the following characteristics: vascular systems, stems,
leaves, gametophyte, sporophyte, and habitat. *
Use your text, page 275 ­ 277.
6. Why are seedless vascular plants important? In what ways do they impact Earth
science (soil, rocks, minerals, fossil fuels, atmosphere, and water.) *
7. Create a bulleted list detailing the major characteristics of seeded plants. Make sure
you include sporophytes, gametophytes, habitat diversity, and the way seeds travel. *
Use your text, pages 278 ­ 279.

8. What is the primary difference between gymnosperms and angiosperms? Begin
reading on page 280. *
Check all that apply.
The seeds of angiosperms are not enclosed in a fruit.
Conifers, ginkoes, cycads, and gnetophytes do not have seeds contained in a fruit.
Angiosperms use flowers for reproduction.
A familiar gymnosperm is the conifer. These plants have both male and female conest.
Following fetilization in gymnosperms, the seed remains in the female cone until it is
mature.
9. Read page 282 to determine the purpose of flowers and fruits. *
Check all that apply.
Flowers help angiosperms reproduce.
Fruits ensure that the seeds survive, or attract animals who eat and transport them.
Seeds enclosed in a fruit can be transported by the wind.
Flowers help attract pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds.
10. Differentiate the two classes of angiosperms using the information found on page 283.
