  2. Plant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_cell

    Structure of a plant cell. Plant cells are the cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of flagella or ...

  3. Viridiplantae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viridiplantae

    ' green plants '; kingdom Plantae sensu stricto) [6] is a clade of around 450,000–500,000 species of eukaryotic organisms, most of which obtain their energy by photosynthesis. The green plants are chloroplast-bearing autotrophs that play important primary production roles in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. [7]

  4. Thallophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thallophyte

    Thallophytes (Thallophyta, Thallophyto or Thallobionta) are a polyphyletic group of non-motile organisms traditionally described as "thalloid plants", "relatively simple plants" or "lower plants". They form a division of kingdom Plantae that include lichens and algae and occasionally bryophytes, bacteria and slime moulds.

  5. Archaeplastida - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeplastida

    The cells of most archaeplastidans have walls, commonly but not always made of cellulose. [citation needed] The Archaeplastida vary widely in the degree of their cell organization, from isolated cells to filaments to colonies to multi-celled organisms. The earliest were unicellular, and many groups remain so today.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Plants

    The leaf is usually the primary site of photosynthesis in plants.. Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdom Plantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic.This means that they obtain their energy from sunlight, using chloroplasts derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water, using the green pigment chlorophyll.

  7. Vascular plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_plant

    The pull is the result of water surface tension within the cell walls of the mesophyll cells, from the surfaces of which evaporation takes place when the stomata are open. Hydrogen bonds exist between water molecules , causing them to line up; as the molecules at the top of the plant evaporate, each pulls the next one up to replace it, which in ...
