Kingdom Plantae Flashcards
key features of plants
- eukaryotes
- multicellular
- carry out photosynthesis
- alternating haploid and diploid generations
- sexual and asexual reproduction
- plant bodies resist gravity and drying
- plant embryos are protected and may spread without water
plant classification
land plants - nonvascular/vascular - spore/seed bearing - gymnosperms/angiosperms - monocots/dicots
land plants are divided into
vascular and nonvascular plants
nonvascular plants examples
mosses
vascular plants are divided into
spore bearing plants and seed bearing plants
spore bearing plants example
ferns
seed bearing plants are divided into
gymnosperms and angiosperms
gymnosperms example
conifers, ginkgos
angiosperms are
flowering plants
angiosperms are divided into
monocots and dicots
monocots characteristics
parallel veins, flowers in multiples of 3
monocots examples
grasses, tulips
dicots characteristics
netlike veins, flowers in multiples of 4 or 5
dicots examples
most trees, shrubs

plants reproduction
- alternating generations
- diploid (2n, sporophyte - creates spores or seeds)
- haploid (n, gametophyte - produces gametes)
adaptation of vascular plants
vessels, lignin
vessels
transport water and minerals upwards from the roots and products of photosynthesis to the rest of the plant
lignin
a rigid polymer that allows plants to grow tall and strong
