Document Summary

Chapter 23-24 review for test monday (no chapter 32 on exam 3) All plants are eukaryotic, multicellular organisms with tissues, organs, and organ systems. Their cells contain chloroplasts, where they carry out photosynthesis using chlorophyll as the main pigment molecule. Their cell walls are made of cellulose. Plants made it possible for other life to live on land. Plants also produce o2, and carry out photosynthesis. Plant evolution is marked by adaptations to living on land. One key adaptation may have started them off, a polymer called sporopollenin that prevents zygotes from. Green algae called charophytes are the closest living relatives of plants,. Plants and chlorophytes share traits which are not found in any other organism. Proteins arranged in rings that synthesize cellulose for the cell walls. During cell division, their microtubules form a structure called phragmoplast that starts the process of cytokinesis. Note that plants are not descended from modern charophytes. Plants and modern charophytes are sister groups.
