general characters of plants
Answers
Answer:
Plants have adapted to a variety of environments, from the desert to the tropicalrain forest to lakes and oceans. In each environment, plants have become crucial to supporting animal life. Plants are the food that animals eat. Plants also provide places for animals, such as insects and birds, to live; many birds build nests in plants. From tiny mosses to gorgeous rose bushes to extremely large redwood trees (Figure below), the organisms in this kingdom, Kingdom Plantae, have three main features. They are all:
Eukaryotic.
Photosynthetic.
Multicellular.
Recall that eukaryotic organisms also include animals, protists, and fungi. Eukaryotes have cells with nuclei that contain DNA, and membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants capture the energy of sunlight and use carbon dioxide from the air (and water) to make their own food, the carbohydrate glucose. Plants have chloroplasts, the organelle of photosynthesis, and are known as producers and autotrophs.Other organisms are heterotrophic consumers, meaning they must obtain their nutrients from another organism, as these organisms lack chloroplasts. Lastly, plants must be multicellular, composed of more than one cell. There are no single-celled plants. Recall that some protists, such as algae, are eukaryotic and photosynthetic but are not considered plants. Unlike plants, algae is mostly unicellular.
Explanation:
Plants are Multicellular and Eukaryotics.....
which means their cells have nucleus and membrane bound organelles They also performed photosynthesis.... in which green plants synthesis its food by inorganic matter in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight
