| 3 types of plant characteristics | eukaryotes/Multicellular/Autotrophs |
| 7 plant needs | temperature/light/water/air/nutrients/time/room to grow |
| cuticle | waxy layer that coats surface of stem leaves, and parts exposed to air |
| what does the cuticle do? | keeps plants from drying out |
| what is a vascular plant | has vascular tissue (tubes that transport water throughout cell) |
| What do non-vascular plants not have | pipes to transport water/nutrients |
| How do non-vascular plants move nutrients and water | diffusion and osmosis |
| How do non-vascular plants grow | low, with no true roots, stems or leaves |
| 3 types of nonvascular plants | mosses, liverworts and hornworts |
| Where do mosses grow | 1st to grow on destroyed areas (barks, rocks and soil) |
| Does moss have a vascular system | no vascular system |
| what kind of environment do mosses live in? | wet environments |
| What are the root-like structures that anchors mosses | rhizoids |
| What do liverworts and mosses help trap | wind-blown soil until there is enough to support growth of other plants |
| How do seedless vascular plants reproduce | by spores |
| What 3 parts do vascular plants have? | roots,stems and leaves |
| 3 examples of seedless vascular plants | ferns, horsetails, and club mosses |
| What has happened to most horsetails and club mosses | have become extinct |
