Plant Kingdom Flowering Plants Non-flowering Plants

3.
 3 groups Ferns Mosses Gymnosperms Non - flowering Plants Do NOT produce flowers

4.
A plant can be divided into 3 parts

5.
Examples of Mosses

6.
Moss spores Spore-producing capsule

7.
Characteristics of Mosses  No true roots, No vascular tissues (no transport)  Simple stems & leaves  Have rhizoids for anchorage  Spores from capsules (wind-dispersal)  Damp terrestrial land  Simplest plants

8.
Fern

9.
Fern underground stem root A leaf (finely divided into small parts)

10.
spore-producing organs (circinate) young leaf

11.
Characteristics of Ferns  roots, feathery leaves & underground stems  have vascular tissues (transport & support)  Damp & shady places  Spore-producing organ on the underside of leaves (reproduction)

12.
Pine tree Gymnosperms

13.
needle-shaped leaves

14.
Male cones (in clusters) Female cones (scattered)

15.
Characteristics of Gymnosperms  roots, woody stems  needle-shaped leaves  tall evergreen trees  cones with reproductive structures  dry places  vascular tissues (transport)  naked seeds in female cones

16.
 2 groups Monocotyledons Dicotyledons  roots, stems, leaves  vascular tissues (transport)  flowers, fruits (contain seeds) Flowering Plants

17.
Monocotyledons Parallel veins

18.
Characteristics of Monocotyledons  one seed-leaf <ul><li>leaves have parallel veins </li></ul> herbaceous plants  e.g. grass, maize

19.
Dicotyledons Veins in network

20.
Characteristics of Dicotyledons  two seed-leaves  leaves have veins in network  e.g. trees, sunflower, rose
