Reproductive Mechanism
• Sexual- The stamen produces pollen, the pollen comes in contact with the stigma (tip of pistil) and it moves down to the ovary.– Called pollination
• Asexual- stems arch over and take root at their tips to form new plants, mitosis along leaf sides creates tiny plants that fall off into a new plant, separation of parts from the original plant
Subgroups of Plantae:• Gymnosperms– Cone bearing plants– Needle like leaves– Mostly in Northern
Hemisphere forests and Southern Hemisphere tropics
• Angiosperm– Produce seeds for
reproduction– Common in smaller
plants, flowering plants, and trees
Feeding Mechanism of Plantae:
• Autotrophs!– They get their energy from the sun and atmospheric gases and
create their own food.
• Photosynthesis• Vascular tissues are used to transport water and nutrients
throughout the plant.
Plantae Characteristics:
• Cell walls of cellulose
• Chloroplasts
• No locomotion
• Composed of rootstem, and leaf
