| What plants are vascular and have spores? | Ferns and club mosses |
| What plans are vascular and have seeds? | Gymnosperms and angiosperms |
| Evolution of plants | Went from non-vascular to vascular and from having spores to having seeds for reproduction. |
| Conifers | cone bearing |
| Chlorophyll | makes plants green |
| Deciduous | sheds leaves in the fall |
| Timberline | the height where it is too cold for trees to grow |
| Perfect flower | a complete flower with male and female parts |
| Plant Reproduction | draw insects or birds with nector, fragrance, and color. Sometimes the wind is used to help spread seeds. |

| Vertabrates | animals with back bone |
| Two subphylum's of Chordata | Tunicata and vertebrata |
| Tunicata | tunicates and lancelets |
| Class Agnatha | Lamphreys |
| Class Chondrichthyes | sharks and rays |
| Sharks | have no fossils |
| Class Osteichyes | Perch, trout, and seahorses. Characteristics include a swim bladder, a hard skeleton, an operculum, and scales. They are the dominate group of vertebrates. |

| 3 lineages of Class Mamalia | 1. monotremes: egglaying mammel 2. Marsupials: pouch for young 3. placental |
| Evolution of Chordata | Amphibians came from fishes, reptiles came from amphibians, birds came from reptiles, and mamals came from reptiles. |
| Phylum Porifera | Spore bearing animals without tissues |
| Phylum Mollusca | Dominant group of invertebrates in the ocean. |
| 3 Main Classes of Mollusca | Gastropoda, Bivalva, and Cephalopoda |
| Class Gastropoda | snails, slugs, and conches |
| Class Bivalva | clams, oysters, scallops, and mussels. They are filter feeders. |
| Class Caphalopoda | Squid and octopus. Squids have an internal shell and octopuses do not. |
| Main food source for octopuses | crabs |
