Scientists study what is INSIDE plants to divide them into 2 groups. What are these 2 groups called?
• 1) Vascular plants
• 2) Nonvascular plants
What is the difference between the microscopic view of the moss and the microscopic view of the corn?
2 types of plants
• Moss = tightly packed cells that look like a jigsaw puzzle NONVASCULAR
• Corn = tube-like cells that tunnel up and down the stem VASCULAR
Vascular = “composed of or containing vessels”
• Water is taken in by a plant’s roots and moves up a set of tubes toward the plant’s leaves, flowers, and other parts
• Foods made in the leaves move down the other set of tubes, leading to the plant’s parts
• VASCULAR TISSUE
Nonvascular Plants
• Plants that do not have vascular tissues (tubes to connect different parts of the plant and transport materials)
