Plants

-All plants are photosynthetic because they contain chlorophyll -Plants are multicellular organisms -Plants are divided into 2 categories/phyla: Bryophytes or Vascular plants

Bryophyte: Bryophytes have no vascular tissue to conduct fluids throughout the body. This restricts them to moist environments and a small size. -Bryophytes have no true roots, stems or leaves. -Plant is anchored by thread-like rhizoids -Plant becomes dormant in dry conditions -True moss, liverworts, and hornworts are classes belonging to bryophyte. Reproduction: Need moisture for sexual reproduction to occur since the sperm must swim to the egg. -Life cycle of generations: Haploid and Diploid

-Liverworts

Vascular Plants: 211 000 species -Most vascular plants have adapted to conserve water so that they can survive on land -Have conducting tissue to transport water and dissolved nutrients -True leaves, stems and developed root systems. -Reproduce by seeds or spores, do not require water for reproduction. -Also exhibits a lifecycle -2 groups:-Seed producing-Agiosperms-Gymnosperm - Spore producing- Horsetails - Ferns - Club mosses
