Open QR reader on your I-Pad and scan the code for your assigned group.
Complete Gallery walk question guide while going through the presentation.
Go back to groups and share your knowledge with your group to complete the
guide.
Seedless nonvascular Plants
1. What are three types of seedless nonvascular plants?
1. Hornworts
2. Liverworts
3. Mosses
2. Where does moss grow and live?
A. Area of high moisture
B. In the water
C. In fruit you eat
3. How does moss reproduce? Mosses reproduce by branching and
fragmentation, by regeneration from tiny pieces of leaves or stems, and
by the production of spores.
4. Bryophyte is another word for mosses
A. True
B. False
5. Mosses have lived on Earth longer than dinosaurs did
A. True
B. False
6. Mosses is good for the soil because
A. It is not good for the soil
B. It holds water and it also adds nutrients to the soil
C. Creates soil erosion
Seedless Vascular Plants
7. How does the ferns stem differ from the mosses stem? Fern has vascular
tissue that transports materials throught out the plant.
8. Ferns use spores to reproduce.
A. True
B. False
9. Name 4 examples of seedless vascular plants.
1. whisk fern
2. club moss
3. horsetails
4. ferns
10.Where can ferns live? Moist environments
Gymnosperms
11.Gymnosperms have seeds which are enclosed in a fruit.
A. True
B. False
12.What does the word “gymnosperm” mean? Naked seed
13.List three examples of Gymnosperms.
1. Cycads
2. Ginkgos
3. Conifers
14.All evergreens have needle-like leaves.
A. True
B. False
15.Some gymnosperms grow in tropical climates
A. True
B. False
16.What is the most common example of gymnosperms alive today? Conifers
Images show examples of gymnosperms. 1. Cycad species (Cycas revoluta) is a member of the subclass Cycadidae. 2.
Gingko (Gingko biloba) is a member of the subclass Gingkoidae. 3. Welwitschia (Welwitschia mirabilis) is a member of the
Gnetidae. 4. Pines (Pinus sp.) and other conifers are members of the subclass Pinidae. Conifers are the most common
gymnosperms.
Angiosperms
17.What is the largest phylum in the Plant Kingdom? Angiosperms
18.What are two characteristics of angiosperms that gymnosperms do not
have?
A. Flowers
B. Fruit
19.What makes angiosperms so successful among the plant kingdom?
Flowers allow for efficient pollination and the fruit allows for efficient seed
dispersal
20.Angiosperms are classified into two main groups based on their seed
types. Name the two groups.
1. Monocots
2. Dicots
21.Plants are also classified by their lifespan. Describe the three types of
plant life spans.
1. Annuals –mature from seed, flower and die in one year.
2. Biennials – take two years to complete life cycle.
3. Perennials live more than two years.
