Plantae for education

1. PLANTAE

2. • Plantae are defined as multi
cellular organisms which produce
their food by photosynthesis. They
are also known as metaphyta. The
Kingdom plantae can be defined
as multicellular, autotrophic
eukaryotes, which conduct
photosynthesis.

3. • All member of this family comprises
of true nucleus and advanced
membrane bound organelles. Among
the five kingdoms, Kingdom plantae is
a very important, as they are the
source of food for all other living
creatures present on planet earth,
which depends on plants to survive

4. THERE ARE 4 CLASSIFICATIONS OF THE
KINGDOM PLANTAE:
• Bryophyta
• Phylum pteridophytae
• Phylum angiosperms
• Phyllum Gymnosperms

5. Bryophyta
• They are seedless vascular plants,
which contain vascular tissues but do
not produce seeds.
• They are involved in transportation of
fluids.
• The reproduction process is carried
by spores.

6. MOSSES

7. EXAMPLE:
MOSSES-are small flowerless plants that
typically grow in dense green clumps or mats,
often in damp or shady locations. The individual
plants are usually composed of
simple leaves that are generally only one cell
thick, attached to a stem that may be branched
or unbranched and has only a limited role in
conducting water and nutrients.

8. OTHER EXAMPLES
LIVEWORTS HORNWORTS

9. Phylum pteridophytae
Pteridophytes. Pteridophtyes are a
phylum of plants. They are the vascular
plants (those having xylem and phloem
tissues) that reproduce by releasing
spores rather than seeds, and they
include the highly diverse true ferns
and other graceful, primarily forest-
dwelling plants.

10. EXAMPLE
• Horsetails

11. •HORSETAILS- a nonflowering
plant with a hollow jointed
stem that bears whorls of
narrow leaves, producing
spores in cones at the tips of
the shoots.

12. OTHER EXAMPLES
CLUB MOSSES FERNS

13. Phyllum Angiosperms
• Angiosperms are flowering plants, which
develops the seeds within a protective
structure.
• The reproduction process is carried by
Angiosperm.
• They develop their seeds within an ovary,
which itself is embedded in a flower. After
the stage of fertilization, the flower falls and
the ovary bulges to become a fruit.

14. • Angiosperms in the class
Dicotyledoneae grows into two seed-
leaves (cotyledons).
• An angiosperms leaf consists of a
single, branched, main vein, which
originates from the base of the leaf
blade. In few plats, it may also consist
of four or more main veins diverging
from the same base.

15. VINES

16. •VINES- a climbing or
trailing woody-
stemmed plant of the
grape family.

17. OTHER EXAMPLE
SHRUBS

18. Phyllum Gymnosperms
• Gymnosperms are non-flowering plants with
undeveloped seeds, which are present in an
enclosed structure.
• Monocot begins with a single seed-leaf. The
main veins of their leaves are usually parallel
and unbranched.
• Monocot plays an important role in providing
us with our primary sources of nutrition,
which includes grains, fruits, etc.

19. • EXAMPLE:
• Palms

20. • PALMS- an unbranched evergreen
tree with a crown of long
feathered or fan-shaped leaves,
and typically having old leaf scars
forming a regular pattern on the
trunk. Palms grow in warm
regions, especially the tropics.

22. Contribution of
plantae to the
Environment

23. • Plants use chlorophyll to capture light energy,
which fuels the manufacture of food—sugar,
starch, and other carbohydrates. Without
these food sources, most life on earth would
be impossible. There would still be
mushrooms and algae, but there would be no
fruits, vegetables, grains, or any animals
(which ultimately rely on plants for their food
too!)
• Another important contribution of plants is
their shaping of the environment.
