Angiosperms are very diverse. There are at least 260,000 living species classified in 453 families. They are extremely important to humans because majority of our crops are angiosperms, as well as most of our natural clothing fibers.]]> 2017-05-17 12:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172308469 All About Gymnosperms kelsey_griffin5 https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172308568 Gymnosperms are woody plants, either shrubs, trees, or, rarely, vines (some gnetophytes). They differ from flowering plants in that the seeds are not enclosed in an ovary but are exposed within any of a variety of structures, the most familiar being cones.]]> 2017-05-17 12:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172308568 All About Pteridophytes kelsey_griffin5 https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172308711 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. There are about 11,000 different species of pteridophytes, making them the second most diverse land plant. ]]> 2017-05-17 12:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172308711 All About Bryophytes kelsey_griffin5 https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172308789 Bryophytes are small, herbaceous plants that grow closely packed together in mats or cushions on rocks, soil, or as epiphytes on the trunks and leaves of forest trees. Of the three phyla of bryophytes, greatest species diversity is found in the mosses, with up to 15,000 species recognized.]]> 2017-05-17 12:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172308789 Creating this Project kelsey_griffin5 https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172308881 I worked on this project for 5 days. I tried to stick to my original plan, however while working on this project I discovered other ways to present the plants. The 3D structures are mostly made of pipe cleaners, cotton balls and paper towel holders hot glued to a cardboard structure. I have enjoyed creating this project and stepping out of my comfort zone. ]]> 2017-05-17 12:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172308881 Angiosperm Structure kelsey_griffin5 https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172311037 - ovules that are enclosed within a carpel 
- stigma (where pollen germination takes place)
- endosperm (a nutritive tissue within the seed that feeds the developing plant embryo)
- stamens with two pairs of pollen sacs
- phloem tissue composed of sieve tubes and companion cells]]> 2017-05-17 12:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172311037 Gymnosperm Types kelsey_griffin5 https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172320922 Conifers (ex, Pine Tree) have seeds on cones. Most conifers are evergreen and built to live with a lot of snow. The leaves and stems on these trees lose less water than others.
Cycads are not as popular today as they were 250 million years ago. They have about 150 species. They often resembles palms, but they are not the same. Cycads are commonly found in the tropics or subtropics.
Ginkgophytes only have one species remaining, the ginkgo biloba. Originating from China, the ginko biloba is believed to be extinct in the wild. ]]> 2017-05-17 13:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172320922 Pteridophytes Reproductive System kelsey_griffin5 https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172321018 Although most pteridophytes are homosporous (produce spores that are all the same size), a few groups are heterosporous with large megaspores and small microspores. The megaspores produce megagametophytes that only form eggs, and microspores only produce microgametophytes and sperm.]]> 2017-05-17 13:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172321018 Bryophytes Structure kelsey_griffin5 https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172321128 The photosynthetic phase of the life cycle is the haploid, gametophyte generation rather than the diploid sporophyte; bryophyte sporophytes are very short-lived, are attached to and nutritionally dependent on their gametophytes and consist of only an unbranched stalk, or seta, and a single, terminal sporangium. Bryophytes never form xylem tissue, the special lignin- containing, water-conducting tissue that is found in the sporophytes of all vascular plants. ]]> 2017-05-17 13:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_griffin5/finalprojectncw/wish/172321128
