types
The Plantae includes all land plants: mosses, ferns, conifers, flowering plants, and so on—an amazing range of
diverse forms. With more than 250,000 species, they are second in size only to

CHARACTERISTICS
The most striking, and important, feature of plants is their green color, the
result of a pigment called chlorophyll. Plants use chlorophyll to capture
light energy, which fuels the manufacture of food—sugar, starch, and other
carbohydrates. Without these food sources, most life on earth would be
impossible. There would still be mushrooms and algae, but there would be no
fruits, vegetables, grains, or any animals

location
The only such places on earth are the arctic wastelands, really
arid deserts, and the deep ocean. Everywhere else, from the tundra to the
rainforest to the desert, is populated by plants. In fact, when we think of a
particular landscape, it is the plants which first come to mind. Try to picture
a forest without trees, or a prairie without grasses. It is the plants which
produce and maintain the terrestrial environment as we know it.

Plants are the backbone of all life on Earth and an essential resource for human
well-being. Just think about how your everyday life depends on plants

multi or uni
The plants you see around you every day, like trees and flowers, grass, and
vegetables are multicellular.
However, there are single-celled plants,
too. These are a large variety to algae and phytoplankton. Most are microscopic,
however when a lot of them are together, you can see them without a microscope.

pro or eu
Plants are eukaryotic organisms including animals, fungi, algae, and protozoans.
The only organism which is prokaryotic is bacteria. eukaryotic refers to
organism whose cells are enclosed by a membrane while prokaryotic organisms do
not have nucleus and are not enclosed by a cell membrane.

auto ot hetero
Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food which include fats
carbohydrates and proteins. Most plants are autotrophs, however some are
parasites and cannot make their own food.
