Plant Characteristics

​Embryos develop inside the female plant.

Embryo Development

The cuticle helps prevent water loss.

​

​The stomata prevent water loss and allow gas exchange.

Cuticle & Stomata

These are like the veins and arteries of the plant, and they allow plants to be really tall.​

Vascular Tissue​

Ferns, club mosses, whisk ferns

​

They have vascular tissue but do not have seeds.​

​

​

Gymnosperms

Angiosperms

A seed is produced by a plant and contains an embryo and food supply within a tough coat.

​

What is a seed?

Some plants use animals, wind, or water to move their seeds away from the parent. ​

​

Seed Dispersal

​Plants move towards the light.

Phototrophism

​Plants grow toward or away from the pull of gravity.

Gravitropism

This is the touch response that some plants have.

​

This behavior allows plants to use a trellis. ​

Thigmotropism
