Question

How is plantae distinguished from other eukaryotic kingdoms?

Answer 1

Plant cells are quite different from the cells of the other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive features are:

    * A large central vacuole (enclosed by a membrane, the tonoplast), which maintains the cell's turgor and controls movement of molecules between the cytosol and sap

    * A primary cell wall containing cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin, deposited by the protoplast on the outside of the cell membrane; this contrasts with the cell walls of fungi, which contain chitin, and the cell envelopes of prokaryotes, in which peptidoglycans are the main structural molecules

    * The plasmodesmata, linking pores in the cell wall that allow each plant cell to communicate with other adjacent cells; this is different from the functionally analogous system of gap junctions between animal cells.

    * Plastids, especially chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green color and allows them to perform photosynthesis

    * Higher plants, including conifers and flowering plants (Angiospermae) lack the flagellae and centrioles that are present in animal cells.

Answer 2

it is single cellular and photosynthetic and have flagella... they belong to the protista kingdom

basically protists perform photosynthesis like plants while others move around and act like animals

so hey didn't rly know where to put em. so

this separates it from the animal kingdoms and plant kingdoms

kingdom protista is what they belong to.

Answer 3

kingdom plantae is actually under domain eukarya, so this entails that cells in plants are eukaryotic cells. its just that plant cells are more complex than animal cells in the sense that they have specific organelles that are unique to them, which also aids in their existence as plants.

i hope this helps :D

Answer 4

Ok listen sis, Plantae does not move like eukaryotics, plantae have structures inside un like eukaryotics, very easy question, I been taking Biology for 2 years already!

Answer 5

Cell walls composed of cellulose, I think, is one of the distinguishing features. Oh, and chloroplasts, maybe, for the photosynthesis thing? There's probably other stuff...

Answer 6

Plant eukaryotic cells are distinguished by their square/rectangular shape as opposed to an animal eukaryotic cell which is more of a circular shape. There is also a difference in the number and types of organelles in each. A plant eukaryotic cell has an additional vacuole, chloroplast, and cell wall in which the animal cell does not. The animal eukaryotic cell has additional centrioles that the plant cell does not have.
