The meaning of kingdom plantae.
The plant kingdom contain of three main divisions namely. The familiar green plant belongs to this kingdom. plant are non-motile multicellular organisms whos cell have cellulose cell wall and chloroplasts. the chlorophyll in the chloroplast enable plant to make their own food by photosynthesis.
the plant kingdom include; Thallophyta, Bryophyta and Tracheophyta. Thallophyta and bryophyta do not have any system for conducting food and water from one part of the plant to another. This restricts their size. tracheophytes have conducting systems so the plant are much larger.
1.) Thallophyta
2.) Tracheophyta
3.) Bryophyta
Thallophyta
There are simple and microscopic plant some are unicellular e.g chlamydomonas white other are multi cellular e.g spyrogyra. Thallophyta or algae are simple green plant that all aquatic. They have thread-like [filamentous] or flat [thallus] bodies that do not havw root, stem and leaves.
The red, brown and green algae belong to this group. They are mainly seaweeds although some green algae are found in fresh water. In addition to chlorophyll, the red and brown algae have other coloure pigment.
Tracheophyta
There are vascular plant ( well develop versel for fluid to be conducted). They are known as vascular plants since they have vessel [vascular tissues] for conducting water and food.This the largest group of plant and include seed plant like the familiar flowering plants, as well as some spore-bearing, non-flowering plant like ferns.
There are divided into two other sub section
1.) Pteridophyta
2.) Spermatophyta
Pteridophyta
these are land plants that have roots, stem and leaves similar to those of flowering plants. the stem of a fern usually grows horizontally below the ground and so is called a rhizome. Many small root grow from the rhizome. many small root grow from the rhizome into the soil.
1.)There are non flowering muscular plant with true roots, stems and leaves .
2.) There reproduce asexually by spores found under their leaves surface
3.) There are non seed producing plant
4.) There are commonly found in the moist areas e.g ferns .
Spermatophyta
1.) There are seed producing plant.
2.) There are green and verscula .
3.) They exist has Gymnosperm and Angiosperms
4.) They reproduce sexually.
Gymnosperm
1.)They are plant with negect seeds
2.) They do not bear flowers.
3.) They are vascular green plant
4.) They have true roots stems leaves e.g sider acuta, cycads etc.
Angiosperms
There are flowering plants with wide range from small hedges to lay massive trees with well develop root , stem and leaves . There are divided into two types there are;
i.) Monocotyledon
ii.) Dicotyledon
They show most specialize reproductive machanism
There are non multicellular, non vascular and non flowering plants.
They lack true roots and reproduce asexually by pours
Some are acquatic and some a terytal
Kingdom. Animalia
Classification of animal base on three major features such as
1.)Body symmetry
2.)Body design
3.)Body caulty
Base on the above listed
The kingdom Animalia is broadly divided into two groups which are ;
A.)Invertebrate
B.)Vertibrate
Invertebrate
This are animals that do not have back bone ( vertibral column ) they are divided into eight phella
i.) Poriphera
ii.) Arthropoda
iii.) Coelentrate
iv.) Platyhelminthes
v.) Nematoda
vi.) Annelise
vii.) Mollusa
viii.) Echinodermata
Poriphera
1.) They are multicellular acquatic animal that are usually stash to rock a or shell of other animal.
2.) They are the most premitive of all invertebrate
3.) They lack specialization hence they have no cell e.g sponges
Coelentrate
1.) There are simple and multicellular
They have sticky cell
They are aquatic and bilaterally symmetrical e.g hydra, sea anemones, jely fish and sea lilies
Platyhelminthes
These are elongated thin and flat boded animal with one opening that is the month, through which food and waste are passed out and into the body
There are biolaterally symmetrical
They are either free living and paracitic and most of them occur haemaphrodites (animals that possess both male and female sex organ in one organism) e.g Taenia saginata liver- fluke, Blood fluke
Namatode
They are animal with long round threat like or cyclidrical bodies
They are pointed at both ends on like the platyhed minthes
Some are free living others are paracitic e.g Ascaris lumbricoid e.g round worm, hook worm, guinea worm.
Annelida
Annelida are true worms with alongated and seqmated worms
Their bodies have three layers (tripoblastic)
They have two body opening ( month and anus )
