Plants are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that have cell wall in the cells. They are able to perform photosynthesis by using chlorophyll a and b.

See explanation.

**Plants** are eukaryotic multicellular organisms that are capable of the process of photosynthesis. A plant is considered an *autotroph* because it can manufacture its own food. However, like other living organisms plants still need other things to survive.

The lives of the plant species need the following materials for their survival:

1. Sunlight – the light energy needed by plants for the manufacturing of their own food.
2. Minerals and Water (including the movement of these two substances) – they are being transported by the vascular bundle
3. Gas exchange – Plants give off oxygen, and take carbon dioxide in return

Plants evolved from photosynthetic plant-like protists called green algae. They are similar in the sense that they are both photosynthetic, have a cell wall, and similar reproductive system, not to mention the outer appearance.

In a plant’s life cycle, both meiosis and mitosis happen alternately in a process called as alternation of generations. During mitosis, gametes or haploid cells fuse together to grow a new diploid cell called sporophyte. A sporophyte plant is under the diploid phase. Eventually, the sporophyte plant goes through meiosis to produce haploid cells. This is when a gametophyte plant is formed. A gametophyte plant is under the haploid phase.

**Mitosis** is a process of cell duplication, or reproduction, during which one cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells. This is typically when plant cells in the plant produce**bold text** new cells asexually.

**Meiosis**, on the other hand, is a division of a cell involving two fissions of the nucleus and giving rise to four gametes, or sex cells, each possessing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. this is related to sexual reproduction because it prepares for new offspring.
