Do you agree with the statement? 1 Plants are multicellular organisms. Yes No

Do you agree with the statement? 2 Vascular means that nutrients are carried throughout a plant by special tubes. Yes No

Do you agree with the statement? 3 Conifers are different from ferns in that conifers do not have leaves. Yes No

Do you agree with the statement? 4 All organisms are classified either as plants or as animals. Yes No

Qualities of Plants Plants are different from animals; they use sunlight, water,  and carbon dioxide to make their own food and have roots and  leaves. Many plants are vascular, which means they have special  tubes that carry food and water to all parts of the plant. Four common types of plant phyla are mosses, ferns,  conifers, and flowering plants. Seedless Plants Seed Plants Qualities of Plants First paragraph pg. 22

Mosses Conifers Mosses grow on trees or in  shallow streams and are very  small. Mosses are not vascular and  have tiny parts that look like leaves. They don’t have flowers or seeds. Pine, fir, and spruce trees are all  conifers that have special leaves  called needles. Conifers are vascular plants and  reproduce using cones and seeds. Ferns Flowering Plants Most ferns have leaves that look like  feathers and are vascular plants, which  can grow larger than nonvascular  plants. Vascular plants have tubes that carry  food to parts of the plant that are high  off the ground. Mosses and ferns use  spores to reproduce, which  are tiny cells that can grow into plants. There are about 230,000  species of flowering plants they  are all vascular. These plants use their flowers’  seeds to reproduce. Mosses, ferns, and conifers  don’t produce flowers.

Neither Plant Nor Animal Many organisms do not belong in either the plant or  animal kingdoms and some of these organisms can  move on their own like animals, but they make their own  food like plants. Some organisms are made of one cell and these can  only be seen through a microscope. Some of these microscopic organisms can cause  disease and others can be helpful. Like plants and animals, all these organisms need  food, water, and a way to remove waste. Many also  need carbon dioxide or oxygen. First Paragraph pg. 24 Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protists Fungi

Debates in Classifying The classification system has changed over the years because scientists  find new organisms. One classification system used today has six kingdoms, which include  plants, animals, fungi, protists, eubacteria, and archaebacteria. Fungi, such as mushrooms, are not plants because they cannot make their  own food because they absorb food from the material they grow on. Yeast are  single-celled fungi and to reproduce, each cell divides into two cells. Protists such as algae are single cells and are food for many animals. Some  live in the digestive systems of some animals, like termites and cows. They  help these animals digest plants they eat. Eubacteria are single cells and can have many different shapes. Some have  tails that move them through water. Archaebacteria are single cells and can survive in environments that are  deadly for most other organisms. They can live in hot acid springs or in very  salty water. Third Paragraph pg. 24

TextQuest Answer questions in your Science Journal. 1. How would you classify a plant that has seeds, is  vascular, and has needle-like leaves? 2. How do protists help some animals? 3. How are the needs of single-celled organisms  similar to the needs of plants or animals? 4. Compare the fungi and protist kingdom. Don't forget to write your  home learning in your  agenda page 7A.
