  • Eukaryotes
    • unicelled or multi-celled
    • contains nucleus
    • membrane-bound organelles
    • larger
  • Prokaryotes
    • one-celled organisms
    • do not have nucleus
    • filled with cytoplasm
    • smaller
  • Autotrophs
    • organisms that can produce their own food using ligt, water, carbon dioxide, etc.
    • also called as PRODUCERS
  • Heterotrophs
    • organisms that eat other plants or animals for energy and nutrients
    • also called as CONSUMERS
  • PLANT KINGDOM
    • Bryophytes
    • Tracheophytes
    • Pteridophytes
    • Gymnosperms
    • Angiosperms
  • Bryophytes
    • non-vascular plants
    • absorbs substances through all parts of their bodies
    • grows mostly in moist, wet, and dark places
  • Tracheophytes
    • vascular plants
    • have vessels that transport water and food throughout the plant
  • 2 TYPES OF VASCULAR VESSELS
    • Phloem - outer layer for transporting food from the leaves
    • Xylem - transport water from the root
  • Pteridophytes
    • seedless vascular plants
    • they reproduce through spores
    • commonly at higher elevations or moist, shaded, mountainous areas
  • Gymnosperms
    • greek, means "naked seed"
  • Gymnosperms
    • greek, means "naked seeds"
    • develop their seeds on the surface of scales and leaves, which often grow to form cones or stalks
  • Angiosperms
    • "flowering" plants
    • produce seeds encased in "fruits"
  • CLASSIFICATIONS OF ANGIOSPERMS BASED ON LIFESPAN
    • Annuals - one year/seasonal
    • Biennials - develop roots, stems, and leaves in the 1st year, seeds in the 2nd year, and then die.
    • Perennials - lives for many years.
    • Monocots - or monocotyledon; having only one cotyledon
    • Dicots - or dicotyledon; having two cotyledons
