Study Notes
Plant Cell Structure
- The primary component of the rigid cell wall in plant cells is cellulose.
Photosynthesis
- Chlorophyll is the pigment that enables plants to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.
Plant Reproduction
- Lower plants like mosses and liverworts mainly practice a type of reproduction called alternation of generations.
Autotrophy
- Plants are defined as autotrophic organisms because they produce their own food through photosynthesis.
Plant Anchorage
- The roots of a plant are responsible for anchoring it to the soil.
