Warm Up organism is unicellular eukaryotic and autotrophic what kingdom does it belong to Plants The energy most organisms need comes directly or indirectly from plants Plant Characteristics. Plantae. How Plants came to be. Overview of the Plant Kingdom. Botanists divide the plant kingdom into four groups based on three important features:. Water conducting tissues. Seeds. Flowers. Mosses. Chapter 7: Section 2. Seedless Plants. How do seedless plants reproduce?. Include all nonvascular plants and some vascular plants. Vascular vs. nonvascular. Nonvascular plants do not have structures that transport substances through the plant. Seedless Plants. Chapter 3 Page 79. Question 1 Answer:. Compare and contrast the characteristics of mosses and ferns.. Alike: Reproduce by spores. Different: Unlike mosses, ferns have vascular tissue.
