What are the characteristics of plants?

Answer 1

Although plants are very diverse, all plants have these basic characteristics

- multicellular

- eukaryotic

- autotrophic

- alternative generations in life cycle

- photosynthetic by using chlorophylls a and b

- have a cell wall made of cellulose

Answer 2

Plants usually: absorb water/ nutrients and Photosynthesis (Ie: absorb sunlight) The characteristics of plants include that they are multi-cellular, they have cell walls, produce their own food, obtain energy from the sun and they contain chlorophyll.
The following are the characteristics of plants -

Chloroplasts with chlorophyll a and b and carotenoids

Cellulose walls

Formation of cell plate during division

Starch used for carbohydrate storage

Life Cycle-sporic meoisis or haplodiplonic or alteration of generations

Diploid stage sporophyte and haploid stage gametophyte are multicellular

Dominant stage varies between groups - primitive plants gametophyte is dominant and in advanced plants sporophyte is dominant

Primitive plants have poorly developed systems for conduction of fluids (non-vascular plants) and advanced plants (vascular plants) have well developed specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) for conduction of food and water.

Answer 3

There are numerous characteristics common to plants. For one thing, they will all have a root system of some kind. Additionally, they all utilize photosynthesis, and their cells will contain cytosol.

Answer 4

Three Characteristics of plants

1. Plants are mostly autotrophs (preparing their own food by photosynthesis).

2. Plants have great regenerative power.

3. Plant cells are provided with cell wall.

Answer 5

Plants are multicellular organisms that contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis. They have cell walls made of cellulose, and most reproduce sexually through seeds or spores. Plants exhibit a wide range of adaptations to various environments, such as roots for anchoring and absorbing nutrients, and leaves for capturing sunlight.

Answer 6

There are many different kinds of characteristics of plants. Plants are usually grown in dirt and use sunlight for food.

Answer 7

There are many characteristics of plants. All plants are eukaryotic organisms, all plants make their own food, all plants need water, and all plants are multicellular.

Answer 8

nearly all plants are autotrophs, organisms that reproduce their own food, all plants are eukaryotes.
