Kingdom Plantae
Life on land requires adaptations for:
Water conservation – eg. waxy cuticle on leaves
Transport of water and nutrients -- vascular system
Reproduction (sexual) – pollen in higher plants
Support – eg. woodiness
Vascular Plants (Will be in chart… no notes yet…)
Xylem – Is Vascular Tissue is made up of
Straw –like cells that specialize in moving water

Pollen Grains can travel long
distances without water.
Eventually develop into sperm
cells, a short swim in the flower
or in the cone.
