Kingdom Plantae
Plants dominate the land and many bodies of water.
They exhibit tremendous diversity.
Some are less that 1 mm to other as big as 100 m.

Characteristics of Plants
Characteristics
Plants do all share some characteristics:
All plants are Photosynthetic.
All Plants are Multicellular.
All Plants are Eukaryotic Organisms..
Adaptations of plants to
live on land
From aquatic algae, aquatic plants to land plants.
Cuticle to prevent water loss.
Reproducing by spores and seeds.
Vascular tissue.

Classification
Non vascular
Disperse by spores (seedless)
Not true roots, stems or leaves
Vascular
Dispersal {spore (Single cell) vs.
seed}
Small
Body an axis (stern)
No vascular tissue
Large surface
Grow in clumps or masses
Many capable of prolonged
dehydration
Many subdivision and classes
Body structure
Most lack cuticle (protective
surface layer)
Vascularization
Advantages of seeds for
reproduction on land
Greater chance of reproduction success
Protection of the embryo
Two main groups of seed
plants
Angiosperms
Naked seeds in cones
Gymnosperms
Seeds in fruit bodies
Flowering plants
