Answers
- They are multicellular and eukaryotic organisms
- They contain pigments,most popular one being the chlorophyll thus making them autotrophs. In addition to chlorophyll,they also contain fucoxanthin, carotenoids, xanthophylls etc
- They are sedentary,meaning : fixed at a spot. Thus,their energy needs are comparatively less
- They are further divided into four phyla: Algae,Bryopytha,Pteridophyta and Spermatophyta
Body Organisation
- The thallus of typical higher plants consists of root shoot systems
- While the primitive plants like algae maybe filamentous,colonial or parasitic
Phylogeny
As the phyla increases,the complexity of the plants also increase.
For instance,
- Vascular system was first developed in ferns
- Gymnosperms were the first plants to bear flowers
Physiology
- The Plants are autotrophs : synthesize their own food by the process of Photosynthesis
- Plants are mostly strict aerobes but in adverse conditions could be fluctutative anaerobes
- Plants have a developed circulatory system in form of xylem and phloem which transport nutrients,minerals,water,wastes and what not
Cell
- Dictyosomes is plant cell is equivalent to Golgi Apparatus in the animal cell
- They don't constitute Aster
Examples,
Pisum sativum (Pea), Allium cepa ( Onion) , Jungle Germanium etc
