TYPES OF PLANTS

Bryophytes

Gymnosperms

Angiosperms

Non-vascular
No xylem or phloem
Examples are mosses
They are small
Have to be near water
No pollen, seeds, flowers, or fruits

Vascular
Xylem to move water
Phloem to move food
Examples are conifers
Have pollen (sperm)
Have seeds on cones
No fruits or flowers

Vascular
Xylem to move water
Phloem to move food
Examples are flowering plants like
oak trees, corn, and roses
Have pollen (sperm)
Have seeds in fruits
Have flowers

PLANT ADAPTATIONS
FLOWERS AND FRUITS
R O O T, S T E M , L E A F

Roots are adapted to absorb

water with root hairs
Leaves are adapted for
photosynthesis by being flat
and green
Stems move water with
xylem

Flowers have bright petals to attract

pollinators
Pollen (Sperm) can be transferred by
animals

When egg joins with pollen, a seed is

formed in the ovary
The ovary becomes the fruit
Fruit surrounds and protects seed
Fruit also helps get baby plants in
seeds away from parent plant

TYPES OF ANIMALS

Annelids

Insects

Amphibians

Mammals

Segmented worms

system

Females may store
sperm
External development
