  • Cells without a cell wall
  • Cells with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (correct)
  • Prokaryotic cells
  • Cells without a nucleus

    • Why are plants considered autotrophs?

  • Because they make their own food by photosynthesis (correct)

    Study Notes

    Cell Structure

    • Multicellular plants have eukaryotic cells.

    Characteristics of Kingdom Plantae

    • Plants are considered autotrophs because they make their own food.
    • Autotrophs make their own food by converting light energy into chemical energy.

    Exceptions in Kingdom Plantae

    • Mycoheterotrophs, like Indian pipe, are heterotrophic plants that do not make their own food.

    Chlorophyll Function

    • The main function of chlorophyll is to absorb light energy for photosynthesis.

    Reproduction in Kingdom Plantae

    • Plants exhibit a type of reproduction called alternation of generations, which involves switching between diploid and haploid phases.

    Vascular Tissue Function

    • The purpose of vascular tissues in plants is to transport water, minerals, and nutrients throughout the plant.

    Plant Nutrition

    • Plants store food as starch.
