Plants
Multicellular photoautotrophic eukaryotic organisms
Cell Wall composed primarily of
Cellulose
Kingdom of Plantae divided into
about 10 phyla
Angiosperms
Flowering vascular seed plants
Monocot
Plants with one cotyledon per seed. Parallel veins.
Dicots (Eudicots)

Cotyledon
A leaflet modified to store food. An embryonic leaf in seed-bearing plants, one or more of which are the first leaves to appear from a germinating seed.
Seed
Plant embryo with food in a protective case
Radicle

Tissues
Cells with similar characteristics and function combine together in multicellular organisms to form these.
Organs
Different types of tissues integrated to form these
Four basic tissue types in angiosperms
Meristem, dermal, ground, and vascular
Meristem Tissue
Function: Growth and repair
Dermal tissue
Function: Protection from injury and dehydration, exchange of materials with the environment
