Plant Kingdom, Vascular and Non-Vascular Plants

Specific type of plant tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots, through the stems, to leaves

• vascular plant

• nonvascular plant

• xylem

• phloem

Specific type of plant tissue that transports food (sugar) made in the leaves to the entire plant

• vascular plant

• nonvascular plant

• xylem

• phloem

Type of plant that is usually taller (longer) and has vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) that provides support

• vascular plant

• nonvascular plant

• xylem

• phloem

The process by which plants make food

• Photosynthesis

• phototropism

• embryo

• seeds

Examples of these plants include mosses, liverworts, and other plants with no xylem or phloem

• dicot

• vascular plant

• monocot

• nonvascular plant

This is what almost all non-flowering plants reproduce from (except cone bearing plants)

• spores

• seeds

• monocots

• dicot

A type of plant with a seed that has one food storage area

• monocot

• dicot

• vascular

• nonvascular

A type of plant with a seed that has two food storage areas

• monocot

• dicot

• vascular

• nonvascular

Other than transporting water, what is a function of xylem?

• making food

• transporting food

• helping support the plant

• catching light

These classifications of flowering plants have leaves with veins that are parallel to each other.

• Monocot Plants

• Dicot Plants

• Nonvascular Plants

• Spore Producing Plants
