Question

Describe the characteristic that defines members of the kingdom Plantae. Describe four characteristics that distinguish land plants from charophyte green algae. Explain how these features are adaptive for life on land. What does symbiosis with fungus have to do with plants moving to land?

Answer 1

Answer:

1) The general characteristics of kingdom plantae are as follows −. Multicellular organisms with walled and frequently vacuolated. Eukaryotic cells. Contain photosynthetic pigments which are present in plastids. They are autotrophic mode of nutrition. Plants are non-motile, live anchored to a substrate.  Autotrophic : All plants are autotrophic, making and producing their own food and nutrients, without needing others to provide it for them.

 Multicellular : All plants all multicellular, meaning they are composed of more than one cell, which is what makes them visible to our naked eyes.

Eukaryotic: All plants are eukaryotic, meaning their cells all contain a nucleus, which is one of the organelles of the cell surrounded in a cell membrane. four characteristics that distinguish land plants from charophyte algae.

2) Alternation of generations (w/ an associated trait of multicellular, dependent embryos), walled spores produced in sporangia, multicellular gametangia, and apical meristems. These are evolved traits of land plants. Not all plants have retained these traits.
