Study Notes
Kingdom Plantae
- Refers to a group of eukaryotic organisms that are multicellular, photosynthetic, and have cell walls composed of cellulose.
Characteristics of Organisms Classified under Kingdom Plantae
- Autotrophic: produce their own food through photosynthesis
- Multicellular: composed of more than one cell
- Eukaryotic: cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
- Cell walls composed of cellulose: provides structural support and protection
- Ability to make their own food: using energy from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide
- Non-motile: stationary or rooted in one place
Importance of Studying Kingdom Plantae
- Provides oxygen: through photosynthesis, releasing oxygen as a byproduct
- Food source: primary producers of the food chain, providing food for herbivores and omnivores
- Medicine: many plant-based medicines and treatments are derived from plants
- Ecological importance: plants support ecosystems, providing habitat and shelter for other organisms
- Economic importance: plants are a source of income for many industries, including agriculture and forestry
