Kingdom Plantae

Life on land requires adaptations for:Water conservation – eg. waxy cuticle on leaves

Transport of water and nutrients -- vascular systemReproduction (sexual) – pollen in higher plants

Support – eg. woodiness

Root

Xylem Tissue

Water

Xylem – Is Vascular Tissue is made up of Straw –like cells that specialize in moving water

Vascular Plants (Will be in chart… no notes yet…)

Root stores ‘Phood’

Leaf Photosynthesizes

Phloem Tissue

Phloem – Is Vascular Tissue is made up of Straw – like cells that specialize in moving food

You should definitely start notes now…

Vascular Seeded PlantsPollen Grains can travel long distances without water.

Eventually develop into sperm cells, a short swim in the flower or in the cone.
