Pick from Mosses, Ferns, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms
Flowering plants, produces fruit, majority of modern plants, depend on polinizing and seed dispersal

Two subgroups of Angiosperms
Monocots and Dicots
Phylum Ginkophyta
Ginko - resistant to polution
Phylum Cycadophyta
Cycads - palm trees
Phylum Coniferophyta
Conifers - most common (spruce)
“naked seed” - produces cones
Gymnosperms
“Cased seed” - produces flowers
Angiosperms
What are the large leaves of ferns called
fronds
Phylum Psilophyta
Whisk fern - no leaves but scaly stems
Have true roots and stems; its leaves (magaphylls) are arranged in whorls of
slender green side branches around the stem.
PHYLUM SPHENOPHYTA - Horsetail
Most abundant in moist woodland areas and look like mini pine trees, often
called ground pines.
PHYLUM LYCOPHYTA - Clubmosses
soft-walled cells that absorb and transport organic nutrients throughout the plant
Phloem
hard-walled cells that absorb and transport water upward from the roots
Xylem
Commonly called a hornwort - Their sporophyte resembles a tiny green horn, which grows upright from the
flat, green gametophyte
PHYLUM ANTHOCEROPHYTA
These are commonly known as the Loverworts
because they resemble the shape of the largest human internal organ.
PHYLUM HEPATICOPHYTA
Diploid plant that undergoes meiosis
sporophyte
haploid reproductive cell
spore
spores undergo mitosis to create a ________?
gametophyte
These organisms will store excess carbohydrates and energy as a polysaccharide
called
Starch
