Living Things
-Eukaryotes
Kingdom Plantae
- Producer
- make their own
food
Ferns (Pteridophyta)
Phloem - moves glucose
Xylem - absorbs water
Reproduce from spores
Conifers (Gymnosperm)
Roots - absorbs water
Leaves - photosynthesis
Seeds not covered by an ovary
Needle-like, scale-like leaves
Flower (Angiosperm)
Vascular
Monocot
1 seed leaf
Veins usually unbranched/
nearly parallel
Dicot
Grow 2 seed leaves
Single veins at the base
of the leaf blade
Tress, fruits, shrubs,
vegetables etc.
Flowers have male/female reproductive
organs
Reproduction
Seeds grow inside an ovary
When fertilized, flower falls away/
ovary swells to become a fruit
Moss (Bryophyta)
Haploid (gametophyte) is dominant generation
Meiosis produces spores; develop into M or F gametophytes
Non-Vascular
Hold water for a short period of time;
depend on moisture surrounding them
Fungi Kingdom
-Decomposer:
gets energy by feeding
on dead/decaying tissue
Club Fungi
Parasites on plants
Looks like umbrella growing from ground
Lichens
Fungus
Protects them from elements
Algae
Provides nutrients
Conjugation Fungi
2 separate mycelia produces spores
Asexual
Black Bread mold
Sac Fungi
Break down nutrients in wood
/bone
Produces spores in
sac-like structures
Imperfect Fungi
Reproduce asexually
Can be helpful to humans
Ex: Cyclyosporine (helps
immune system after
transplant surgery)
