CBSE Class 11th: Biological Classification - Kingdom Plantae

In this video we are going to learn the characteristics of Kingdom Plantae.

• Most of the plants belonging to Kingdom Plantae are eukaryotic in nature and having chlorophyll for the synthesis of food, so they are autotrophic in nature
• The nucleus of eukaryotic organism is membrane bounded
• A few members are partially heterotrophic such as the insectivorous plants or parasites
• Bladderwort and Venus fly trap are examples of insectivorous plants to trap the nitrogen from insects
• Cuscuta is an example of a parasite
• The cell wall of the plant is made up of cellulose
• Bacterial cellulose is known as chitin
• Plantae includes algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms
• Members of Kingdom Plantae are unicellular as well as multicellular
• Two different phases can be observed in the life cycle of plants, namely:

1. Sporophytic: It is the diploid plant body
2. Gametophytic: It is the haploid plant body
