Plantae or Plant


Example 1)
Example 2)





Plantae is the Latin word for plant. In this kingdom there are more than 350,000 species. This kingdom is a producer which means it produces it’s own energy by turning light in to sugars (photosynthesis). They don’t have mitochondria (energy producers in animal cell) because they can stay in one place and make their own foods; as long as they have sunlight and water This kingdom is multicellular which means it has many cells. Also it is eukaryotic which means it has cells that have specific organelles.

Examples:


1) Tulipa gesneriana or Tulip is a very common flower. In this picture it is spring because the flowers have not blossomed yet. They grow up because they need sunlight to create sugar, which is what they produce. They are in the Plantae kingdom because they produce these sugars and are stationary.

2) Acer Ginnala or Amur Maple is a common tree, especially in the US. The tree grows up to reach towards the sunlight, to get more of it. The sugars it will get from sunlight is its’ meal. Also its’ roots go deep underground to get water. It is in this kingdom because it is stationary and it produces sugars.
