2. 5.5.3 Distinguish between the following phyla of plants, using simple external recognition features: bryophyta, filicinophyta, coniferophyta, and angiospermophyta • Bryophyta • Mosses, hornworts, and liverworts • plants • Do not have (vascular transport tissue for moving water and sugars) • Lack • Small plants that must live in damp environments • Do not produce flowers or seeds

3. Mosses

4. Liverwort

5. Hornwort

6. 5.5.3 Distinguish between the following phyla of plants, using simple external recognition features: bryophyta, filicinophyta, coniferophyta, and angiospermophyta • Filicinophyta • plants – have vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) to conduct water and sugars • Have true roots, stems and leaves • Do not produce flowers, pollen or seeds • Reproduce by producing • Sperm eggs and fertilize • Ferns usually grow in places with • Zygote grows into

7. frond fiddlehead Ferns This is the sporophyte (fern) which produces spores that grow into a gametophyte. This is the gametophyte, called a prothallus, which produces egg and sperm Sperm fertilizes egg to create zygote that grows into the sporophyte (fern)

8. 5.5.3 Distinguish between the following phyla of plants, using simple external recognition features: bryophyta, filicinophyta, coniferophyta, and angiospermophyta • Coniferophyta • plants that produce • Cone-bearing trees like • Usually with • Evergreen means it retains some leaves all year long • Produce male and female cones • Male cones produce (contains sperm) • Wind often blows pollen to female cone • Eggs are

9. Conifers Female Male

10. 5.5.3 Distinguish between the following phyla of plants, using simple external recognition features: bryophyta, filicinophyta, coniferophyta, and angiospermophyta • Angiospermophyta • Plants that produce • Predominant form of plant-life today • Produce • After eggs are fertilized, • Two groups: • Monocotyledonae ( ) • Dicotyledonae ( )

11. Angiosperms – Flowering Plants
