How do we classify Plants? 5th Grade
Scientists study what is INSIDE plants to divide them into 2 groups. What are these 2 groups called? • 1) Vascular plants • 2) Nonvascular plants
What is the difference between the microscopic view of the moss and the microscopic view of the corn?
2 types of plants • Moss = tightly packed cells that look like a jigsaw puzzle NONVASCULAR • Corn = tube-like cells that tunnel up and down the stem VASCULAR
Vascular = “composed of or containing vessels” • Water is taken in by a plant’s roots and moves up a set of tubes toward the plant’s leaves, flowers, and other parts • Foods made in the leaves move down the other set of tubes, leading to the plant’s parts • VASCULAR TISSUE
Vascular Plants have tubes that… • Transport water and nutrients over a distance
Nonvascular Plants • Plants that do not have vascular tissues (tubes to connect different parts of the plant and transport materials)
In Nonvascular Plants, water from the outside passes directly into the cells…
