• SC.912.L.14.53 Ch 23 Discuss basic classification and characteristics of plants. Identify bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms.

37. What is a bryophyte? Mosses, Non vascular plants

38. What are the basic characteristics of bryophytes? Plants with no vascular tissues that are small Give an example. Mosses, liverworts and hornworts are examples

39. What is a pteridophyte? A fern or fern ally, vascular seedless plant

40. What are the basic characteristics of pteridophytes? Give an example. Vascular plants with alternation of generations reproduce with spores. Examples include ferns wisk ferns and horse tail ferns

• 41. What is a gymnosperm? Gymnosperms are seed plants whose seeds do not develop within a sealed container.

• 42. What are the basic characteristics of gymnosperms? Give an example

• They produced seeds not in a seed coat but in cones or “naked” examples include pine trees gymnosperms—conifers, cycads, ginkgo, and gnetophytes

43. What is an angiosperm? Flowering plants that produce seeds and develop enclosed within a specialized structure called a fruit.

44. What are the basic characteristics of angiosperms? Give an example. Flowers, seeds in seed coats. Examples include orange trees, apple trees, all types of flowers

45. What were the ancestors of today’s land plants? green algae.

• 46. Are the following vascular or nonvascular plants? Moss, hornwort, liverwort are non vascular and fern is vascular

47. The first plants had to be what in order for osmosis and diffusion to be able to transport all of the needed water and nutrients to all of their cells? Very small

• 48. The naked seed plants that are among the most successful of the plants are called what?

• gymnosperms

• Study the vocabulary list and add notes to all of the words!!!

• Don’t forget to do the 3 assignments at the bottom of the blue plant notes page!

• Assignments:• 5pts1. Figure 1 page 552 shows the main organs of a plant.

Draw a diagram similar to this and label the main plant organs as shown in this picture. Use color!

• 14 pts 2. Draw the diagram on page 559 figure 10 of the leaf’s internal structure.5pts Label the parts. Look at a slide of a real leaf cross section and draw what you see at high power.5pts Try to find all of the same structures. 4pts Do the analysis questions in the quick lab on page 558

• 1. Describe a stoma, and relate the function of a stoma to your description. A stoma is a slit-like opening

• between two guard cells. It allows carbon dioxide to enter the leaf. Water vapor and oxygen exit the leaf through the stomata.

• 2. Describe the location and contents of the veins. 2. Veins are distributed throughout the mesophyll. They contain xylem and phloem.

10 pts 4.
