Evolutionary trend: reduction of gametophyte
Bryophytes: Mosses
• No fluid-conducting vascular system
• Enclosed reproductive structures
• Require moist environments
Sporophyte
(stalk)
Female Gametophyte
(leafy)
Vascular Plants
• Specialized groups of
conducting cells
organized into vessels
• Functions of vessels
– conduct water and
nutrients
– provide support to plant
body with lignin
• Largest group of plants
Vascular Plants:
Ferns
• Seedless
vascular plants
• Tall leafy

Vascular Plants:
Gymnosperms
• Seed-producing
vascular plants
• Pollinated by wind
• Conifers adapted to
cold, dry climate
– cones to protect seeds
– evergreen
– waterproof needle-like
leaves
– sap does not freeze
Vascular Plants:
Gymnosperms

These plants have
separate sexes,
ie. male and
female plants.
Vascular Plants: Angiosperms
• Seed and fruit-producing
vascular plants
• Broad, waterproof leaves
• Modified leaves = Flower
= reproductive structure
• Many have animal
pollinators; some use wind
• Greatly reduced
gametophyte (pollen grain and
embryo sac with egg)
• Largest number of species
(250,000)
