Plantae Flashcards
(8 cards)
Characteristics
Eukaryotic cells with cell wall
Plants have a cuticle (lapisan lilin)
Plants are producers and use photosynthesis to make food
Non-vascular plants (Bryophytes)
Grow in shady and damp areas
No true leaves, stems, and roots
Have rhizoids (root-like growth)
No flower and seeds
Ex. mosses, hornworts, liverworts
Vascular plants - seedless plants (pteridophytes)
Have a true leaves, stems, and roots
Leaf part called “Frond”
No seeds, flowers, fruits
Produces sorus
Ferns have an underground stem called a rhizome
Young fronds are tightly coiled and are called fiddleheads
Ex. whisk ferns, horsetail, club moss, adiantum
Vascular plants - seed plants (spermatophytes)
Contains flowering or seed
2 subdivision are gymnosperms and angiosperms
Gymnosperms
Seeds grow on cones (strobilus)
Leaves like needle
Ex. pinetrees, evergreen, melinjo
Angiosperms
Seeds are enclosed in a fruit (ovary)
Ex. grasses, tulips, dandelions
Divided into 2 : dicot, monocot
Dicot
Two cotyledon, tap roots, ringed vascular, net-like veins, 4 or 5 petals
Monocot
One cotyledon, fibrous roots, scattered vascular, parallel veins, multiples of 3
