Still Going Green!

                               
Hey! Last blog, I talked about plants in general. Well this blog, I'm going talking about about seed plants(: Enjoy! 


                                      


What are seed-plants, you ask? Well, you will find out! This is what we're gonna be learning about(: 


                                         

• List all the characteristics of seed plants(:

• Describe the main characteristics of gymnosperms and angiosperms, and how were they important?(:

• Compare monocots and dicots(:

                                


                              Characteristics of Seed Plants

• This might be a shocker, but all seed plants have seeds!! :O For example... Pine cones are seeds! Weird, huh? Well yep, they are. They fall off trees, and turn into new trees, vuala(:

                           

• Another characteristic is that all seed plants have vascular tissues. Vascular Tissues bring food and nutrients throughout all the plant! (:

                              

• Seed plants use seeds to reproduce! (:

                               

• All seed plants grow, reproduce, and die in one year! :O Short life!

                  

           Characteristics of Gymnosperms and

Angiosperms, how are they important?

• Gymnosperms-  a vascular plant having seeds that are not enclosed in a small egg.

                              gymnosperms! 

• Angiosperms- a plant having its seeds enclosed in a small egg.

                                  angiosperms!

Anyway.. Let's start with those characteristics....

                   Gymnosperms! 

• Gymnosperms are the oldest trees alive today(:

• Gymnosperms are all vascular(:

• They produce seeds on female pine cones(:

• Gymnosperms don't produce flowers or fruit(:

• Their leaves are mostly needle-like or scale-like(:

• The four divisions of gymnosperms are conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, and gnetophytes(:

                               

                            

                                     Angiosperms!

• Angiosperms are vascular(:

• They produce flowers and fruit(:

• Their seeds are inside a fruit(:

• More then half our plants are angiosperms(:

                             

                                How Pretty! (:

               Now... Almost done, Monocots & Dicots!

• These are two groups of Angiosperms(:

• They both have seeds in them...
• But Monocots have 1 seed, while Dicots have 2 seeds..

• They each have seedleaves in their seeds(:
• There's one seed leaf per seed(:

                          

                     

                     

Thanks for coming and reading my blog! :D Hope you learned a lot about seed plants! I got all my information from my Science Textbook, the Glencoe LIFE Science, pages 286-291! :D
