The document discusses the Plant Kingdom. It describes how plants are multicellular organisms with cell walls, chlorophyll, and can produce their own food through photosynthesis. The Plant Kingdom contains two main groups: non-vascular and vascular plants. Non-vascular plants like mosses and liverworts lack transport tissues to carry water and nutrients throughout the plant, while vascular plants have transport tissues. The document also outlines the parts of a flower and the process of photosynthesis.

The Plant Kingdom
SOL 5.5: Kingdoms of Living Things
The Plant Kingdom This kingdom has organisms that are multi-cellular, have cell walls and chlorophyll, produce their own food, and dont physically move from one place to another. The Plant Kingdom Vascular Non-Vascular Photosynthesis Plant Cell Parts of a Flower SOL Released Test Items Non-Vascular plants that do not have tubes to carry water up the plant or tubes to carry food made in the leaves down the plant Examples: mosses liverworts ferns hornworts Non-Vascular Spore: the reproductive cell of a nonvascular plant SPORES! Non-Vascular Moss Non-Vascular Liverwort Non-Vascular Fern Non-Vascular Hornwort Vascular Plants that have tubes to carry water up and food down the plant Examples: American dogwood tree roses grass Vascular American dogwood tree Vascular Roses Vascular Grass Photosynthesis Plant cells produce their own food through a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis allows plants to convert light energy into food energy. Parts of a Flower Male Parts Female Parts Parts of a Flower Male Parts Female Parts The stamen consists of two parts: the anther and the filament. The filament holds the anther. The anther produces and carries the pollen. Parts of a Flower Male Parts Female Parts The pistil consists of three parts: the stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is the sticky part that traps and holds the pollen. The style is the tube-like structure that holds up the stigma. The ovary and the ovule are at the bottom of the style. Parts of a Flower Male Parts Female Parts The petals attract pollinators. (bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, for example) Parts of a Flower Male Parts Female Parts The sepals are the green petal-like parts at the base of the flower. Sepals help protect the developing bud.
