    20.2 Classification of Plants

    Uploaded by

    Arenas Jen
    Plants can be classified into nine phyla based on the presence or absence of vascular tissue and their means of reproduction. Vascular plants have transport tissues and can grow tall or in dry areas, while nonvascular plants like mosses lack transport tissues and grow close to the ground. Seedless vascular plants include club mosses, ferns and their relatives. Seed plants have seeds that allow reproduction without water and dispersal, and include both gymnosperms like conifers that lack enclosed seeds, and angiosperms or flowering plants whose seeds are enclosed in fruits.

    Plants can be classified into nine phyla/divisions based on the presence or absence of vascular tissue and their mode of reproduction. The passage discusses the classification of various plant groups.

    Plants are classified as vascular or nonvascular based on whether they have transport tissues like xylem and phloem. Vascular plants are further divided based on whether they reproduce with or without seeds.

    Vascular plants have transport tissues and can grow tall. They live in dry areas. Nonvascular plants lack transport tissues, grow close to the ground, and live in moist areas.

    2 Classification of Plants

    KEY CONCEPT
    Plants can be classified into nine phyla/divisions.
    20.2 Classification of Plants
    Land plants are classified by the presence or absence of
    vascular tissue and how they reproduce (with or without
    seeds)
    • “Vascular”
    – People: relating to vessels, especially those that
    carry blood.
    – Plants: relating to plant tissues that conduct water,
    sap, and nutrients.
    20.2 Classification of Plants
    Vascular Plants vs. Nonvascular Plants

    Vascular Nonvascular
    • Transport System • No Transport System
    – Leaves – No roots (rhizoids)
    – True roots • Grow close to the
    – Xylem ground to absorb water
    – Phloem and nutrients
    – Stems • Live in moist areas
    • Can grow tall
    • Live in dry areas

    20.2 Classification of Plants
    20.2 Classification of Plants

    Nonvascular Plants
    20.2 Classification of Plants
    Mosses and their relatives are seedless nonvascular
    plants.
    • Liverworts belong to phylum Hepatophyta.
    – often grow on wet rocks or in greenhouses
    – can be thallose or leafy
    20.2 Classification of Plants

    • Mosses belong to phylum Bryophyta.

    – most common seedless nonvascular plants


    – sphagnum moss commonly used by humans as “peat”
    20.2 Classification of Plants

    • Hornworts belong to phylum Anthocerophyta.


    – found in tropical forests and along streams
    – flat, lobed body with little green “horns”
    20.2 Classification of Plants

    Vascular Plants
    Seedless vs. w/Seeds
    20.2 Classification of Plants

    Club mosses and ferns are seedless vascular plants.


    • Club mosses belong to phylum Lycophyta.
    – not true mosses
    – oldest living group of vascular plants
    20.2 Classification of Plants

    • Ferns and their relatives belong to phylum Pterophyta.

    frond

    fiddlehead

    – whisk ferns and horsetails are close relatives of ferns


    – ferns have large leaves called fronds
    20.2 Classification of Plants
    Seed plants include cone-bearing plants and flowering
    plants.
    • Seed plants have several advantages over their seedless
    ancestors.
    – can reproduce without free-standing water, via
    pollination
    – seeds nourish and protect plant embryo
    – seeds allow plants to disperse to new places
    20.2 Classification of Plants

    • Gymnosperms do not have seeds enclosed in fruit.


    – most gymnosperms are cone-bearing.
    – the cone is reproductive structure of most gymnosperms.
    – pollen is produced in male cones.
    – eggs are produced in female cones.
    – seeds develop on scales of female cones.
    20.2 Classification of Plants

    • Cycads are gymnosperms in phylum Cycadophyta.


    – look like palm trees with large cones
    – grow in tropical areas
    20.2 Classification of Plants

    • Ginkgos are gymnosperms in phylum Ginkgophyta.


    – only one species alive today, Ginkgo biloba
    – grown in gardens and used in urban landscaping
    20.2 Classification of Plants

    • Conifers are gymnosperms in phylum Coniferophyta.


    – most common
    gymnosperms alive
    today
    – includes pines, spruce,
    cedar, fir, and juniper
    20.2 Classification of Plants
    • Angiosperms, or flowering plants, belong in phylum Anthophyta.
    • Angiosperms have seeds enclosed in some type of fruit.
    – A flower is the reproductive structure of angiosperms.
    – A fruit is a mature ovary of a flower.

    Plant Classification Lab

    • Goal: Identify plants as either vascular or nonvascular


    based on microscope analysis.
    • This lab does not need to be a formal write up… only
    include the Title, Goal, and components listed below:
    – Draw image and label transport system
    components
    – Record slide name and number
    – Record as either vascular or nonvascular
