Characteristics of Plants:
- Multicellular organisms made up of eukaryotic
cells.
2 . Have mul tiple pigments with multiple functions. - Use water, and properties of water in unique
ways.
4 . Use anabolic metabolism to manufacture every mole cule needed for growth and produce virtually no waste. - Have cell walls are nonliving matrices outside the plant cell membrane that house and/or perform a variety of functions
- Non-motile
- Life cycle alternates between a haploid gametophyte stage and a diploid sporophyte stage.
