Some single-celled organisms are more similar to plants than to animals because they can?
Single-celled organisms are able to maintain internal stability because they
Why are fungi in different group to plants?
Fungi and plants are different in several ways. Plants are able to photosynthesize (with a few exceptions), have a cell wall of cellulose, have a MLS flaglellar system with multiple flagella, and have vascular tissue. Fungi are not able to photosynthesize, have a cell wall of chitin, have a single posterior flagellum, and do not have vascular tissue. Fungi are much better at exploring the soil for water and nutrients than plants (which is why most plants have a symbiosis with fungi).
Why are the leaves and stems of the plant green?
Many organisms that photosynthesize contain the pigment chlorophyll, which gives them a green color. Many organisms that photosynthesize contain the pigment chlorophyll, which gives them a green color.
Are C4 plants better adapted to high temperatures?
Unlike C3 plants, they keep fixing carbon dioxide even when the concentration of carbon dioxide in the leaf is low. In addition, they do not need to open their stomates all the time to get enough carbon dioxide, thus minimizing the water loss during the process which is not the case in most C3 plants. Hence C4 plants are more water efficient keeping them more adaptable in hot environment. (Above image isn't C4 plant it is CAM plant similar to C4 which is adaptable to hot environment yet different type of photosynthesis)
Why are photons important to plant cells?
Thykaloids are the bit inside the chloroplasts in plant cells that contains the chlorophyll, the chemical which allows photosynthesis (the chemical reaction that produces energy in plants) to take place. They are stacks of sacs that look like a stack of pancakes. The individual sacs are thykaloids, and the stacks are called granum. Without the thykaloids, the chlorophyll would have nowhere to attach itself to, meaning that the plant wouldn't be able to produce energy and would die.
What were the organisms that were among the earliest forms of life and were able to photosynthesize?
The first organisms that were the first forms of life and were able to photosynthesize, were plankton. Most of our oxygen comes from the plankton living in the oceans. They play a big role in our everyday life, sharing that position with plants and all nature life (of plants).
Is mushrooms able to photosynthesize?
No, mushrooms are fungi and so cannot photosynthesize.
Are chloroplasts able to kill certain plants?
No, a chloroplast is an organelle found in plant cells that gives them the ability to photosynthesize and respire. They do not kill plants, nor are they a pesticide, they give them the ability to live.
Are aquatic plants producer?
Aquatic plants are able to photosynthesize and produce food for themselves and serve as a food source for other animals. Therefore, they are producers.
What is the ability to photosynthesize?
A plant that can photosynthesize can use the rays of the sun as energy. Green plants are able to grow because of photosynthesis.
Why chlorophyll found in plant-like protist?
because plant like protists photosynthesize and wouldn't be able to photosynthesize without chlorophyll
Organisms that are not capable of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis occurs in a variety of bacteria, algae and plants. All other organisms, including animals, are not able to photosynthesize.
Some single-celled organisms are more similar to plants than to animals because they can?
Single-celled organisms are able to maintain internal stability because they
What condition made it beneficial for aquatic plants to move onto land?
Light energy to photosynthesize made it beneficial for aquatic plants to move onto land. Terrestrial environments allowed the plants to be able to absorb more sunlight in contrast to living beneath the surface of water.
What will happen if plants don't get enough potassium nitrogen and phosphorus?
Their growth is stunted, the plants are weak, plant death could occur. Potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus are necessary for groth repair and photosynthesis. Without these minerals the plant will not be able to photosynthesize and eventually DIE!
Why are fungi in different group to plants?

Fungi are much better at exploring the soil for water and nutrients than plants (which is why most plants have a symbiosis with fungi).
How do plants use chemical reactions?
Trees and plants are living organisms, and therefore have the same needs as all other organisms. For example, they need to be able to fuel their cells with ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and to for that, they need to photosynthesize and produce molecules that can be broken down to release energy.
