Kingdom Plantae

• Describe:
• eukaryotic
• perform photosynthesis
• have chlorophyll 
• cells walls made of cellulose
• Body Plan:
• muticellular
• Divergent Event:
• scientists believe land plants evolved from green algae
• Metabolism:
• autotrophic
• Digestion:
• none
• Circulation:
• only some plants have circulatory systems- vascular plants
• no heart
• Respiration:
•  the chemical opposite of photosynthesis - it releases energy, using up food and oxygen and producing carbon dioxide
• the release of energy from food
• Nervous:
• none
• Reproduction:
• both sexual and asexual
• Sexual - roses 
• asexual – maple tree
• Examples:
• Moss
• Shrubs

 Phylum Anthopyta

Class Monocotyledonae

• Describe -
• comprising seed plants that produce an embryo with a single cotyledon and parallel-veined leaves
•  includes grasses and lilies and palms and orchids
