give the general characters of 1)plantae2)animalia
general characteristics of kingdom plantae:-
- Plants cells have cellulose walls that uphold their size
- They contain chlorophyll A and B and carotenoid pigment, to utilize sun’s energy.
- Plants store their food in the form of starch
- Plants are multicellular organism with cells that are specialized to form tissues and organs
- They possess reproductive organs that are shielded by non-reproductive cells to avoid gametes or sex cells from drying up.
- The female reproductive structure of plants supplies nutrients and water to the developing embryo.
- They have a life cycle that display an alternation of two generation:
are _chemoheterotrophs_ (ingest organic molecules)
…are multicellular eukaryotes
…lack cell wall, but have collagen, nervous and muscle tissue to support bodies
…are mobile at some time in life
…have diploid dominate life cycles
…undergo cellular cleavage as zygotes (blastula, gastrula, larva…)
…reproduce sexually
**not all animals exhibity all of these, but these are the general characteristics**
