| Nonvascular plant | A low growing plant that lacks a vascular tissue |
| Rhizoid | A thin root like structure that anchors a moss and absorbs |
| Vascular plant | A plant that has a true vascular tissue for transporting minerals |
| Phloem | A vascular tissue that transports food through a plant |
| Xylem | A vascular tissue that transports water |
| Frond | A leaf on a fern |
| Pollen | Tiny structure (male gametophyte) produced by seed plants that contain the cell that later becomes as perm cell |
| Gymnosperm | A plant that produces seeds directly on the scales of cones-not enclosed by a protective fruit |
| Angiosperm | A flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in a protective fruit |
| 4 groups of plants | Mosses, ferns<, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms |
| 3 groups of non-vascular plants | Liverworts, Hornworts, and mosses |
| how non-vascular plants get nutrients | the materials travel from one to the next |
| were non-vascular plants live and their size | They live in damp shady places; they cannot grow more than a few centimeters tall |
| 3 characteristics of non-vascular plants | they are low growing have thin cell walls their roots don't absorb water |
| 2 characteristics of seedless vascular plants | they have a vascular tissue they do not make seeds |
| 2 functions of vascular tissue | don't use seeds use spores |
| 3 groups of seedless vascular plants | ferns, Club mosses, Horsetails |
| 2 Characteristics of seed plants | have vascular tissue use pollen and seeds to reproduce |
| Describe in simple terms how seed plants reproduce | pollen goes into the egg and makes a seed |
| Give 2 examples of gymnosperms | Cycads and conifers |
| Name 2 groups of seed plants | Gymnosperms and Angiosperms |
| 2 ways that angiosperms and gymnosperms are different | Gymnosperms don't make flowers Angiosperms make flowers more species of Gymnosperms than Angiosperms |
| 2 MAJOR groups of Angiosperms | Monocots and Dicots |
