Kingdoms, Biodiversity, and Plant Reproduction
Kingdoms
Organisms are classified into kingdoms, which are subdivided into smaller and smaller groups. The last two groups are genus and species. These words give each species its scientific name.
Plants have green leaves, have cell walls made of cellulose, and can photosynthesize. This kingdom has four main groups:
- Flowering plants (reproduce using flowers)
- Conifers (reproduce using cones)
- Ferns (reproduce without flowers or cones)
- Mosses (no roots)
