Which are they?

4. SEED PLANTS
reproduce by creating seeds.

5. SEED PLANTS
reproduce by creating seeds.
NON-SEED
PLANTS
reproduce by spores

6. SEED
PLANTS
NON-
SEED
PLANTS
Angiosperms or flowering
plants grow flowers.
- Fruit grows from the flowers
- Seeds grow inside the fruit.

7. SEED
PLANTS
NON-
SEED
PLANTS
Angiosperms or flowering
plants grow flowers.
- Fruit grows from the flowers
- Seeds grow inside the fruit.
Gymnosperms or conifers
produce cones.
- Seeds grow inside the cones.
- Some conifer seeds are called
nuts

8. SEED
PLANTS
NON-
SEED
PLANTS
Ferns have special leaves
called fronds. Ferns are
anchored to the ground by
their roots.

9. SEED
PLANTS
NON-
SEED
PLANTS
Ferns have special leaves
called fronds. Ferns are
anchored to the ground by
their roots.
Mosses produce capsules.
They don’t have roots, they
have rhizoids. Mosses absorb
water and nutrients through
the rhizoids, stems and leaves

11. Rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria
Coccus-shaped bacteria
MONERA
•Body: unicellular
organisms, they don’t have
bodies and have different
shapes. Some of them
have a tail to move around
and others don’t move.
•Reproduction: by dividing.
•Nutrition: some make
their own food and others
have a substance that
breaks down animal and
plant matter.

12. Amoebae
Algae
PROTISTA
•Body: unicellular or
multicellular. Some of them
don’t move, others use
pseudopods or false feet and
others use cilia.
•Reproduction: in two ways:
spores or dividing (algae)
•Nutrition: some make their
own food and others take it
from the environment. Some
algae carry out
photosyntesis.

13. Mushrooms
Moulds
FUNGI
•Body: most are
multicellular: they have a
cap, stem and a network
of hyphae. Some are
unicelular, like yeast and
mould.
•Reproduction: through
spores.
•Nutrition: they have a
substance that breaks
down animal and plant
matter, they take the
nutrients from the
decaying matter.

14. FUNGI
• Body: most are
multicellular: they have
a cap, stem and a
network of hyphae.
Some are unicelular,
like yeast and mould.
• Reproduction: through
spores.
• Nutrition: they have a
substance that breaks
down animal and plant
matter, they take the
nutrients from the
decaying matter.
