THE PLANT KINGDOM Flashcards
main characteristics of plants
adapted to terrestrial environment
sessile organisms
autotrophic
simplest plants
bryophytes
vascular plants that reproduce by using flowers and seeds
spermatophytes
have seed but no fruit, so seeds are nude
gymnosperms
they have complete flowers and fruits with seeds inside
angiosperms
plants absorb water and mineral salts through their roots, giving way to the raw sap
raw sap formation
raw sap moves upwards through the vascular system up to the leaves
raw sap transportation
made up of petals
corolla
raw sap reaches the leaves, where carbon dioxide and solar radiation is absorbed. then, inorganic molecules are changed into organis ones and oxygen which is released into the atmosphere
photosynthesis
reproductive organs of spermatophytes
flowers
