Vascular Plants Moss-like plants evolved into more
complex structures that contained vascular tissue
Specialized cells to conduct water and nutrients throughout the plant
Considered to be a transport system
![Page 3: Plant Kingdom Biology 112. Vascular Plants Moss-like plants evolved into more complex structures that contained vascular tissue Specialized cells](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e9f5503460f94ba1eae/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Transport Main component of xylem – the major
subsystem of plants that transport water from its roots to all parts of the plant
Hollow cells with thick cell walls that resist pressure
Phloem transports nutrients to all parts of the plant
Both can move fluids, even against the pressure of gravity

Ferns and their relatives Have true roots, stems and leaves Roots absorb water and nutrients and
water Stems support the plant and connect
the roots to the leaves as well as carry water and nutrients
Leaves are photosynthetic organs that contain one or more bundles of vascular tissue

Ferns
Contain vascular tissues, roots, creeping or underground stems called rhizomes and large leaves called fronds

Club Mosses
Responsible for the Earth’s first forests
Today, small plants that live among larger trees

Horsetails
Rare Only existing
genus contains nonphotosynthetic leaves arranged in whorls joined along the stem

Seed Plants Two major classifications
Gymnosperms Bear seeds directly on the surfaces of cones Ex. Conifers such as pines and spruces
Angiosperms Also referred to as flowering plants Bear their seeds within a layer of tissue that
protects the seed Ex. Grasses, flowering shrubs and trees,
wildflowers

Seed Plants - Reproduction
They can live in both aquatic and land environments
Such plants have either cones or flowers, the transfer of sperm through pollination, and the protection of embryos in seeds
Exhibit both a sporophyte as well as gametophyte stage
Seeds do not require water for fertilization
![Page 10: Plant Kingdom Biology 112. Vascular Plants Moss-like plants evolved into more complex structures that contained vascular tissue Specialized cells](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e9f5503460f94ba1eae/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cones and Flowers
Cones are sporophyte structures
Flowers are angiosperm structures
Allow seeds to develop

Pollen
Male gametophyte is contained in a pollen grain
Carried by wind, water or insects to the female structure
![Page 12: Plant Kingdom Biology 112. Vascular Plants Moss-like plants evolved into more complex structures that contained vascular tissue Specialized cells](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e9f5503460f94ba1eae/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Seeds The embryo of a
plant Represents the
early stage of the sporophyte reproductive cycle
Seed coat protects the embryo and prevents it from drying out

Benefits of Being a Seed Plant The seed can survive environmental
conditions that ferns and mosses cannot Such plants can only survive in wet
conditions As the planet evolved, plants needed to
adapt to changing climatic conditions Seed plants represent a large group that
are found in all forests and swamps of North America

Gymnosperms
Such plants produce seeds that are exposed
![Page 15: Plant Kingdom Biology 112. Vascular Plants Moss-like plants evolved into more complex structures that contained vascular tissue Specialized cells](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e9f5503460f94ba1eae/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Conifers
The most common group of gymnosperms
Otherwise known as evergreens
They do not lose their leaves all at once
