The Plant Kingdom

1
The Plant Kingdom

• All plants contain the green pigment chlorophyll
  which they use for photosynthesis.
• The plant kingdom is divided into two major
  groups the non-flowering plants and the
  flowering plants
• Non-flowering plants do not produce flowers.
• Non-flowering plants are subdivided into algae,
  fungi, mosses, ferns and gymnosperms

Non-flowering plants

• Algae (Sing alga)
• Simple plants without roots, stems or leaves.
• All contain chlorophyll and other pigments for
  photosynthesis.
• Most of them are green, while some are red or
  brown.
• Mainly live in water (aquatic).

Non-flowering plants

• Algae

6
Non-flowering plants

• Fungi (Sing fungus)
• Do not have roots, stems or leaves.
• They are made up of a network of fine filaments
  called hyphae (??).
• No chlorophyll present, so they cannot carry out
  photosynthesis.
• They are saprophytic (??), feed on dead organic
  matter or parasitic (??) on other living
  organism.

Non-flowering plants

• Fungi

8
Non-flowering plants

• Mosses
• Small green plants that have simple stems and
  leaves but no true roots and vascular tissues.
• Found mainly in damp places.
• Attached to the ground by means of structures
  called rhizoid.

Non-flowering plants

• Mosses

10
Non-flowering plants

• Ferns
• Have true roots, stems or leaves (green).
• Found mainly in damp and shady places.
• Have vascular tissues for transportation of
  water, mineral salts and food substances.
• Reproduce and disperse by means of spores

11
Non-flowering plants

• Ferns

12
Non-flowering plants

• Gymnosperm
• Large evergreen trees (woody) with roots, stems
  and needle-shaped leaves but no real flowers.
• Have vascular tissues for transporting various
  substances.
• With seeds growing inside cones for reproduction.

13
Non-flowering plants

• Gymnosperm

14
Flowering plants

• Green plants with roots, stems and leaves.
• Have vascular tissues for transporting various
  substances.
• Produce flowers and develop into fruits, with the
  seeds enclosed inside after fertilization.
