I. NON-VASCULAR PLANTS
![Page 3: Kinds of Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5681672b550346895ddbc8cf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• A. Survival of Non-Vascular Plants– 1. need to have moisture– 2. no vascular system for transporting
water and nutrients– 3. lack true roots, leaves, and stems but
have structures that resemble them
![Page 4: Kinds of Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5681672b550346895ddbc8cf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• B. Key Features of Non-Vascular Plants– 1. Small size- transport water and nutrients
through osmosis and diffusion, only a short distance
– 2. Larger gametophyte- Rhizoids (hair-like projections) anchor the gametophyte to the surface they grow on, sporophytes grow on the gametophytes and depend on them for nutrients
– 3. Require water for sexual reproduction- eggs and sperm form in separate structures or separate plants and the sperm must use water to get to the eggs to fertilize them

II. SEEDLESS VASCULAR PLANTS
![Page 10: Kinds of Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5681672b550346895ddbc8cf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• A. Characteristics– 1. do not produce seeds– 2. underground horizontal stems called
rhizomes• B. Key Features of Seedless Vascular
Plants– 1. Vascular system- contain xylem and phloem
reinforced with lignin (a major part of wood), and develop true roots, stems and leaves
– 2. Larger sporophyte- easier for wind to carry away spores, water is needed for fertilization
– 3. Drought resistant spores- thickened walls of spores resist drying

branches

![Page 17: Kinds of Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5681672b550346895ddbc8cf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• A. Seed plants whose seeds do not develop within a sealed container (fruit)
• B. means “naked seed”• C. Key Features of Gymnosperms
– 1. Seeds- protect the plants embryo and provide it with nutrients and permit them to survive in unfavorable conditions
– 2. Greatly Reduced Gametophyte- tiny male and female gametophytes that form within tissues of sporophyte• A. Male- pollen grains• B. Female- form structures that become seeds• C. both develop in cones
– 3. Wind Pollination- sperm in pollen are carried to the egg by drifting in the wind making sexual reproduction possible even in dry conditions
