PRESENTATION

INTRODUCTION

The teacher tells the students that Scientists have identified more than 260,000 kinds of plants. They
classify plants according to whether they have body parts such as seeds, tubes, roots, stems, and leaves.
This is stated below;

STEP 2

He explains briefly the 6 groups of plants

Flowering plant: Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits and form the clade
Angiospermae, commonly called angiosperms.
MOSSES: Mosses are non-flowering plants which produce spores and have stems and leaves, but don't
have true roots. Mosses, and their cousins liverworts and hornworts, are classified as Bryophyta
(bryophytes) in the plant kingdom.

Horsetail is derived from huge, tree-like nonflowering plants found throughout parts of Europe, Asia,
the Middle East, and North America

Cornifers any of an order of mostly evergreen trees and shrubs having leaves resembling needles or
scales in shape and including forms (as pines) with true cones.
STEP 3

The teacher explains the characteristics of plants as follows;

They are non-motile. (They don’t move on their own)

They make their own food and hence are called autotrophs.

They reproduce asexually by vegetative propagation or sexually.

These are multicellular eukaryotes. The plant cell contains the outer cell wall and a large central vacuole.

Plants contain photosynthetic pigments called chlorophyll present in the plastids.

They have different organelles for anchorage, reproduction, support and photosynthesis.

HOME FUN

List two examples of cornifers

State if Aloe Vera is flowering plant or not
