4 General Characteristics:
1) Eukaryotic / Multi-celled organisms
2) Autotrophic (make own food –photosynthesis)
3) Chloroplasts – responsible for
photosynthesis
4). Chlorophyll- gives
plants green color

plants5
plants that have tube-like cells
Vascular Plants- in their roots, stems, & leaves
that carry H2O and nutrients
•Vascular comes from
the Latin word
“vasculum” which
means “vessel”
• Lose their leaves like a pet sheds
6
Vascular Plants: 2 Types of Tubes
 vascular plants have 2 different types of
tube-like structures inside them
a) xylem
b) phloem
each one has a specific function (job)
think of tiny pipes...like a plumbing system
Xylem - tube-like cells that carry water & dissolved
minerals from the roots to leaves
Phloem- tube-like cells that carry food, from leaves
(Photosynthesis), to all parts of the plant

Vascular Plants (Seedless)
Ferns-usually grow in moist shady
areas
typical fern
•they have adapted to grow in other environments:
- aquatic (water)
- dry climates
- tropical regions
water horn fern tropical fern
• stem stores the food & water
8
Vascular Plants: Seedless (ferns)
Fern Leaf
• divided into tiny leaflets that look “feathery”
• loses leaves at the end of each growing season
• ferns are classified by their leaves
Fern Reproduction
•reproduce by spores formed on
the underside of the leaf
• the cases that hold the spores
look like brown and orange spots

Vascular Seed Plants

Gymnosperms
Nonflowering
Examples Conifers, Pines, Cycads
Needle-like leaves
Most are evergreen
Soft wood.
Reproductive structure is a cone or conelike structure.
Vascular Plants: Seed Plants (conifers)
Evergreens- type of conifer (cone-bearing) that
keeps its leaves all year long
• lose leaves but not all at same time
• example: pine, spruce, fir and cypress trees


Angiosperms
Flowering plants
Flower is used for
pollination
Seeds found in fruit
Examples: Apple
Tree, Rose, Oak,
Maple, Corn, and
Grass

Broad leaf plants
Most are
deciduous (leaves
fall off)
Hardwood
