Chapter 01 – Classification of Living Things
The classification of living things involves organizing life forms based on shared characteristics. The word taxonomy is the term used to describe the classification of living things. The basic taxonomy of living things includes six kingdoms.

Chapter 05 – Matter and Changes in its States
State changes are physical changes in matter. They are reversible changes that do not involve changes in matter's chemical makeup or chemical properties. Common changes in the state include melting, freezing, sublimation, deposition, condensation, and vaporization.

About Lesson

Plant Kingdom 

 

  • Plants are different from animals in such a way that they are rooted in one place and they use spores or seeds for reproduction.
  • They also make their own food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight, with the help of chlorophyll, which is in their leaves, in a process called photosynthesis.
  • All the plants on the earth make up a kingdom, called the plant kingdom.
  • Plants are divided into two main groups, those which have flowers are called flowering plants and others without flowers are called non-flowering plants.

 

Characteristics of Kingdom Plantae

 

The plant kingdom has the following characteristic features:

  1. Plants are multicellular eukaryotes. They have organelles called chloroplasts and cell walls made of cellulose.
  2. Plants also have specialized reproductive organs.
  3. Almost all plants make food by photosynthesis.
  4. Life as we know it would not be possible without plants.
