Study Notes
Essential Characteristics of the Plant Kingdom
- Multicellular eukaryotic organisms with complex structures and specialized tissues define the plant kingdom.
- Plants have cell walls made of cellulose, which provides structural support.
Reproductive Strategies in Plants
- Asexual and sexual reproduction are commonly found in the plant kingdom.
- Some plants utilize alternation of generations, switching between haploid (gametophyte) and diploid (sporophyte) stages.
Seed-Producing Plants
- Seed plants, including angiosperms (flowering plants) and gymnosperms (non-flowering), are characterized by the presence of seeds.
- Seeds allow for protection and nourishment of the developing embryo.
Common Features NOT Found in Plants
- Having a nervous system is NOT a common feature of the plant kingdom.
- Plants primarily rely on hormones and other signaling mechanisms instead of a nervous system for growth and response to stimuli.
Role of Chlorophyll in Plants
- Chlorophyll is a pigment crucial for photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb light energy.
- It predominantly absorbs blue and red light, reflecting green, which gives plants their characteristic color.
