Study Notes
Characteristics of Kingdom Plantae
- Comprises eukaryotic organisms that contain chlorophyll, enabling photosynthesis.
- Cell walls are made of cellulose, providing structural support and protection.
- Capable of growth through cell division, allowing for increased size and complexity.
- Life cycle involves interchanges from embryos, supported by other tissues for self-sustenance.
- Consists of various organs and organ systems that facilitate key functions such as nutrient transport and reproduction.
- Energy is acquired from sunlight through photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
- Reproduces both sexually and asexually, allowing for genetic diversity and adaptation.
- Develops defense mechanisms against herbivores, pathogens, and competition from other plants.
- Organisms are multicellular, eukaryotic, and autotrophic, with no motility, relying on environmental factors for dispersal and growth.
