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.
