The characteristics of plants are fruit/seed color, seed conspicuous, growth form, growth rate, height at 20 years, Maximum (feet), height, Mature (feet), leaf retention, lifespan, low growing grass, nitrogen fixation, resprout ability, shape and orientation, and toxicity. There is a great choice for raw materials; they provide different sources of food for all kinds of animals; they ensure a variety of shelter for animals; by using up carbon dioxide and producing oxygen they help keep the balance of gases in the atmosphere; they form a vital part of the beauty of our planet.
Man use plants in three important ways raw materials-e.g. timber for building, as foods-e.g. wheat for making bread, and as medicines-e.g. foxgloves produce a medicine for treating heart problems.
Scientists are always working to find new uses for plants or plant products, for example, new medicines, possible fuel sources, safer pesticides, and new sources of food.The plant’s cell design are made up of a golgi body, vesicle, central vacuole, cytoskeleton , mitochondrion, chloroplast, cell wall, plasma membrane, nuclear envelope, DNA, smooth ER, ribosomes, and rough ER.
The adaptations plants have on land include root and shoot systems, waxy cuticles, stomata, vascular tissues, and lignin-reinforced tissues.
