Kingdom Plantae: Algae, Bryophytes, and Pteridophytes
- Algae are mostly aquatic, photosynthetic, and thalloid; classified into green (Chlorophyceae), brown (Phaeophyceae), and red (Rhodophyceae) based on pigments.
- Bryophytes are amphibians of the plant kingdom—require water for fertilization; dominant gametophyte generation.
- Pteridophytes are first vascular land plants; have xylem and phloem; reproduce via spores; classified into homosporous and heterosporous types.
2
Seed Plants: Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
- Gymnosperms have naked seeds not enclosed in fruit; mostly evergreen trees like Pinus and Cycas.
- Angiosperms are flowering plants with seeds enclosed in fruits; show double fertilization.
- Double fertilization involves syngamy (egg + male gamete → zygote) and triple fusion (secondary nucleus + male gamete → endosperm).
3
Animal Kingdom: Classification and Phyla
- Animals are classified based on body symmetry, germ layers, coelom, segmentation, and presence of notochord.
