Introduction of the lesson. Plants do not have fur, scales, or blood, so how are they classified? Like animals, plants are divided into two main groups. Then these two groups are divided into smaller groups. The ways that plants get their food and the ways that they create new plants will help you classify them.

Who studies plants? A botanist is a scientist who specializes in the study of plants. They classify plants based on their characteristics (vascular and nonvascular).You could call them Plant Explorers. One way that plants can be classified is by how they carry water. Plants can

either be Vascular or Nonvascular. Vascular means having tubes. Nonvascular mean not having tubes.

 Origin of Vascular Plants (from Latin vasculum: duct), also known as tracheophytes (from the equivalent Greek term trachea) and also higher plants, form a large group of plants that are defined as those land plants that have lignified tissues (the xylem) for

conducting water and minerals throughout the plant.

Two primary characteristics of Vascular Plants. Vascular plants have vascular tissues which distribute resources through the plant. This feature allows vascular plants to evolve to a larger size than non-vascular plants, which lack these specialized conducting tissues and are therefore restricted to relatively small sizes. In vascular plants, the principal generation phase is the sporophyte, which is usually diploid with two sets of chromosomes per cell. Only the germ cells and gametophytes are haploid. By contrast, the principal generation phase in non-vascular plants is thegametophyte, which is haploid with one set of chromosomes per cell. In these plants, only the spore stalk and capsule are diploid. Main Parts of Vascular Plants and their location. Shoots

-Found above ground -Have leaves attached - Photosynthetic part of plant

Roots

-Found below ground -Absorb water & minerals -Anchor the plant Vascular System Xylem tissue carries water and minerals upward from the roots Phloem tissue carries sugars made by photosynthesis from the leaves to where they

will be stored or used. Sap is the fluid carried inside the xylem or phloem Examples of Vascular Plants

IV. Generalization Vascular Plants have vascular tissues which distribute resources through the plant. Its can be classified is by how they carry water. Vascular means having tubes. This feature allows vascular plants to evolve to a larger size than non-vascular plants, which lack these specialized conducting tissues and are therefore restricted to relatively small sizes.
