Plants have four main characteristics and are divided into four groups. They are the producers that use photosynthesis to make their own food from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. Plants are classified as either nonvascular, which lack transport tissues, or vascular, which have transport tissues to move water and nutrients. Vascular plants are further divided into seedless plants and seed plants. Seed plants form seeds after fertilization which contain a young plant, stored food, and a protective seed coat. They are classified as gymnosperms, which have naked seeds, or angiosperms, which produce flowers and fruits.

The plants that we see today is the result of billions of years of evolution. Today, plants cover almost 30 per cent of the total landmass and account for the 50 per cent of the plant’s productivity (generation of biomass). Plants fulfil many roles in the ecosystem. They are a source of food, nutrition, shelter, maintain the integrity of soil (by preventing erosion) and most importantly, they are the main source for balancing the oxygen level in the atmosphere.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
2. Photosynthesis
• Plant cells contain chlorophyll.Chlorophyll is a
green pigment that captures energy from
sunlight. Chlorophyll is found in
chloroplasts.Chloroplasts are organelles found in
many plant cells and some protists. Plants use
energy from sunlight to make food from carbon
dioxide and water. This process is called
photosynthesis Because plants make their own
food, they are called producers.
4. Plant Classification
• Nonvascular Plants
A nonvascular plant is a
plant that doesn’t have
specialized tissues to
move water and
nutrients through the
plant.
• Vascular Plants
In the same way that the human body has
special tissues to move materials through the
body, so do many plants. A plant that has
tissues to deliver water and nutrients from one
part of the plant to another is called a vascular
plant. These tissues are called vascular tissues.
Vascular tissues can move water to any part of a
plant. So, vascular plants can be almost any
size.
Vascular plants are divided into three
groups—seedless plants and two types of
seed plants. Seedless vascular plants include
ferns, horsetails, and club mosses.
Nonflowering seed plants are called
gymnosperms. Flowering seed plants are
called angiosperms
5. Nonvascular Plants
• Mosses
• Liverworts
and
Hornworts
The Importance of Nonvascular Plants
Nonvascular plants have an important role
in the environment. They are usually the
first plants to live in a new environment,
such as newly exposed rock. When these
nonvascular plants die, they form a thin
layer of soil. New plants can grow in this
soil. More nonvascular plants may grow
and hold the soil in place. This reduces
soil erosion. Some animals eat
nonvascular plants. Other animals use
these plants for nesting material.
6. Seedless Vascular Plants
• Ferns
• Horsetails and Club
Mosses The Importance of Seedless
Vascular Plants
Seedless vascular plants play important roles
in the environment. Ferns, horsetails, and club
mosses help form soil. They also help prevent
soil erosion. In rocky areas, ferns can play a
role in the formation of communities. After
lichens and mosses create a layer of soil, ferns
may take over. Ferns add to soil depth, which
allows other plants to grow.
7. The Structure of Seeds
A seed forms after fertilization, when sperm and eggs are joined. A seed
is made up of three parts.The first part is a young plant, or the
sporophyte. The second part is stored food. It is often found in the
cotyledons or the seed leaves of the young plant. Finally, a seed coat
surrounds and protects the young plant.
8. Gymnosperm
• Gymnosperms
Seed plants that do not have flowers or fruit are
called gymnosperms. Gymnosperm seeds are usually
protected by a cone. The four groups of
gymnosperms are conifers, ginkgoes, cycads, and
gnetophytes
Gymnosperm Life Cycle
9. Angiosperms
Vascular plants that produce flowers and fruits are
called angiosperms. Angiosperms are the most
abundant plants today. There are at least 235,000
species of angiosperms. Angiosperms can be found
in almost every land ecosystem.
The Importance of
Angiosperms
Flowering plants provide many land
animals with the food they need to
survive. A field mouse that eats seeds
and berries is using flowering plants
directly as food. An owl that eats a field
mouse is using flowering plants indirectly
as food.
10. Structures of Seed Plants
Roots
Root Functions
The following are the three main functions of roots:
•
Roots supply plants with water and dissolved minerals. These materials are
absorbed from the soil. The water and minerals are transported to the
shoots in the xylem.
•
Roots hold plants securely in the soil.
•
Roots store surplus food made during photosynthesis. The food is
produced in the leaves. Then, it is transported in the phloem to the roots.
In the roots, the surplus food is usually stored as sugar or starch.
11. Structures of Seed Plants
Stems
Stem Functions
A stem connects a plant’s roots to its leaves and flowers. A stem also has
the following functions:
•
Stems support the plant body. Leaves are arranged along stems or on the
ends of stems. This arrangement helps leaves get sunlight for
photosynthesis. Stems hold up flowers, which helps pollinators, such as
bees, see the flowers.
•
Stems transport materials between the root system and the shoot system.
Xylem carries water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves
and other shoot parts. Phloem carries the food made during
photosynthesis to roots and other parts of the plant.
•
Some stems store materials. For example, the stems of cactuses and some
trees are adapted for water storage.
12. Structures of Seed Plants
Leaves
Leaf Functions
The main function of leaves is to make food for the plant.
Chloroplasts in the cells of leaves capture energy from
sunlight. The leaves also absorb carbon dioxide from the
air. The leaves use the captured energy to make food, or
sugar, from carbon dioxide and water.
13. Structures of Seed Plants
Flowers
Flowers come in many shapes, colors, and fragrances. Brightly colored and fragrant
flowers usually rely on animals for pollination. For example, some flowers look and smell
like rotting meat. These flowers attract flies. The flies pollinate the flowers. Plants
that lack brightly colored flowers and fragrances, such as grasses, depend on the wind
to spread pollen.
Many flowers also produce nectar. Nectar is a fluid that contains sugar. Nectar
attracts birds and insects. These animals move from flower to flower and drink the
nectar. As they do so, they often carry pollen to the flowers.
