  2. What Classifies Plantae The Kingdom Plantae consists of 300,000 plants that all have advanced cells that differ from animal cells due to the presence of a cell wall, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. Organisms in this kingdom also are -multicellular -autotrophic- organism that obtains its energy from abiotic sources, such as the sun -eukaryotes -can conduct photosynthesis, a process that utilizes light energy, carbon dioxide, and water to create chemical energy made of sugar and oxygen

  3. Adaptations of Plants Plantae kingdom have adaptations including retaining moisture by using cuticles and stomatal, some have vascular systems to transport resources, reproducing on land, and growing up right by using lignin.

  4. Pinus Virginiana- Gymnosperm Found in the Appalachian mountains, the Virginia Pine is a pine tree found in the genus Pinus which is found in the kingdom Plantae. It then shares the same characteristics all other plants have including being autotrophic by getting its energy through photosynthesis which can be done with the sun’s light, being eukaryotic, or having cells with membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus, and being multicellular.

  5. Pinus Virginiana- Gymnosperm A gymnosperm is a plant whose seeds are not enclosed in fruit. The pine tree has female cones, which are egg bearing, and male cones, which have pollen and fertilize the eggs.The cones have thorns on scale-like structures that provide a level of defense.

Cycads and Ginkgo were around in the dinosaur age. Cycads live in tropical regions today while Ginkgo is native to China. In fact, Ginkgo has only one species left which Darwin nicknamed the “living fossil”. Conifers are more abundant globally. They are known for their needlelike leaves. They thrive in high altitudes under many conditions.

  7. HorsetailsEquisetum arvense • It is a seedless vascular plants • vascular system - collection of specialized tissues in some plants that transports mineral nutrients up from the roots and brings sugars down from the leaves • Horsetails are also called Equisetum • It is multicellular and eukaryotic • They have a cell wall made up of cellulose • Their leaves provide food for the plant to grow to a maximum height of one or two feet. • The leaves provide energy for the plant • Horsetails are autotrophic

  8. HorsetailsEquisetum arvense • Horsetails are autotrophic • They have a cell wall made up of cellulose • Their leaves provide food for the plant to grow to a maximum height of one or two feet. • The leaves provide energy for the plant • It does photosynthesis

  9. HorsetailsEquisetum arvense • They are short, narrow plants that resemble asparagus • They have small heads which is is referred to as strobilus • The pattern of spacing of nodes in horsetails • Those toward the apex of the shoot are increasingly close together • Horsetails reproduce sexually • This plant has no natural predators

  10. Rosa moschata Also known as rosehip and musk rose, this plant is multicellular and eukaryotic. As all plants it also has a cell wall that is made up of cellulose. Thorns are a structure that helps the rose as a defense mechanism. It protects it from predators, so that it can function well. Rosehip makes its own energy by photosynthesis, which makes it autotrophic.

  11. Rosa moschata Musk roses interact with the environment by providing bees with nectar. The rose’s niche is to provide oxygen. Rosehip produces sexually and asexually. They produce sexually by spreading pollen andthey produce asexually by vegetative reproduction, in which part of the plant will produce the genetically identical offspring.

  12. Rosa moschata Interesting Fact The rosehip has a special kind of oil which is a antioxidant that is used in healing scars and damaged skin.

  13. Coelia bella Coelia bella is multicellular and eukaryotic. It does have a cell wall because it is a plant which has rectangular shape. The cell wall is made out of cellulose. This plant has a very dry hairy root system. Because of that they take in a lot of water.

  14. Coelia bella The Coelia Bella obtains energy by means of photosynthesis.It gets energy from the sun to stay alive. Because the Coelia bella makes its own food, it is classified as autotrophic.

  15. Coelia bella The Coelia bella can live in conditions that have a wide range of temperatures but they do prefer and do best in intermediate temperatures. This species lives in Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Guatemala. It is usually found in the rainforests at high elevations. In the rainforest, the flower does not really do anything that is helpful to the environment but it is very fragranced. It is kind The Coelia bella tends to grow off of other animals and plants. Because it is a plant, the Coelia bella does not move out of the ground or soil.

  16. Coelia Bella The Coelia Bella can reproduce sexually only. It reproduces sexually through the production of seeds and fertilization from various bees and birds.

  17. Coelia bella Interesting Fact- This plant requires a lot of shade which is why it is located in the rainforest. There is a lot of growth in winter as well which is quite unusual.
