Differences between Vascular and Non-Vascular Vascular: Non-vascular: Have phloem that transports food, and xylem, which Are small, simple plants without phloem or xylem, transports water. Grow taller. Have leaves, roots and grow close to the ground. No leaves roots or stems. stems. Live in dry areas. Live in damp moist or very wet conditions.

Differences between Algae and Moss Algae: Moss: spear moss (calliergonella cuspidata) Are thallophytes, they have no roots, stems or leaves. Have rhizomes, stem and leaf like organs. Embryo Embryo cells are unicellular. cells are multicellular. String Algae filamentous algae ( Cladophora sps.) Spear moss (calliergonella cuspidata) Location: in the aquarium at 1706 Edgewater Lane, Location: Front lawn at 1706 Edgewater Lane, North Vancouver, BC North Vancouver, BC

Differences between Seeded and Seedless Seedless Vascular: multiply by spores that may be Seeded Vascular: mainly multiply by seeds. produced asexually or as a consequence of asexual reproduction. Sword Fern (Polystichum munitum) Location: Shaded section of the back yard of 1706 Edgewater Lane, North Vancouver, BC

Differences between Angiosperms and Gymnosperms Angiosperms: Seed-producing flowering plants whose Gymnosperms: Seed-producing non-flowering not seeds are enclosed usually within a fruit. Seasonal enclosed; found on scales, leaves or as cones. (die during autumn/fall). Reproductive cycle present Evergreen. Reproductive Cones; unisexual. Mostly in flowers; can be unisexual or bisexual and Mostly rely on wind for seed dispersion. Leaves Scale like , rely on animals for dispersion. Flat Leaves. needle-like. Softwood. Hardwood. Western RedCedar (Thuja plicata) Location : Along the Fisherman’s Trail, next to the River Seymour in the Lower Seymour Conservation Area in North Vancouver BC

Differences between Dicots and Monocots Dicots: The embryo has two cotyledons. Leaf veins Monocots: Have one cotyledon in the embryo. Leaf are branched. Petals in multiples of four or five. veins are parallel. Petals in multiples of three. Fibrous roots. Bundles of vascular tissue scattered Taproot system. Bundles of vascular tissue arranged in a ring. The vascular system is divided into a cortex throughout the stem with no particular arrangement, and has no cortex. Pollen with a single furrow or and stele. Pollen with three furrows or pores. Both herbaceous and woody. 2 seed leaves pore. Herbaceous only. 1 seed leaf Buttercup (ranunculus spp.) Hosta ( ventricosa) Location:Side lawn at 1706 Edgewater Lane, Location: shaded border of front garden at 1706 Edgewater Lane , North Vancouver, BC North Vancouver, BC
