The League of Plants

                Well, Moving on from the previous discussion of Animal Frenzy, we now shall blog about the League of Plants. Berry Berry Gleek ,partnered with another friend, having the information about Coniferophyta. Di-Eco Dude, Pawprints, and Patatas having to group up and gather information about Dicotyledones. And Last but certainly not the least, Spasmboi, grouped with fellow friend, having to gather information about Monocotyledones.

                 Even though we are finished with presenting the data we gathered, we have to admit that we did have easy and hard parts of reporting. One of the hard parts or one of the most difficult parts, was having to research on the many subgroups under the Division or Class. Another difficult part of reporting, was having to create a slideshow presenting the Class or Division. An easy part of creating such reporting was having to report orally, since it was presented to friends and fellow learners.

                 The Topics the Blogger Presented on:
Coniferophyta
> Coniferophyta. "Cone- Plants" deriving from the greek words konus, which means cone, and phuton which means plant from the word phuein, which means "to make grow"
> Coniferophyta. Conifers are also reffered to gymnosperms, a term meaning naked seed.
> They are woody plants
> The leaves are needle-like
> There are two types of cones:
    -The Large, Female Cones that contain many ovules, which will produce gameteophytes
    -The Smaller One, being the Male cone which produces gameophyte pollen grains.



Dicotyledones
>Dicoyledones. Di- meaning two and cotyledone -meaning embryonic leaf.
>Has Taproots to anchor plant which has many side roots.
>Has Vascular bundles arranged in rings
>Flowers are in multiples of fours or fives
>These plants reproduce through Angiosperm reproduction
>Has cambium which is not found in monocots





Monocotyledones
> Comes from the word liliopsida
>Has 3, 6, or 9 petals for its flower
>Had evolved 100-120 million years ago
> Comprises the majority of agricultural plants in terms of biomass produced.
>Usually has narrow leaves with parallel veins and smooth edges, and hollow or soft stems
>Has only one embryonic leaf which differs it from the dictoyledones



                      We learned the importance of these plants, not only for us humans, but also for the balance of nature. We learned that, if these plants ever seize to exsist, we'll have bigger problems than we have now.

  Well we hope you had a good time reading this post!
The information were collected from the reports of the bloggers
