Divisions of Kingdom Plantae

Features of Kingdom Plantae

•Eukaryotic?

•Multicellular

•Autotrophic or Heterotrophic?•(hint: photosynthesis)

•Cell nucleus is present

•Cell walls made of cellulose

•Is locomotion present?

We classify based on characteristics and structures…

How do we show these differences amongst the six kingdoms graphically?

Phylogenetic Trees

A phylogenetic tree is a branching diagram that shows relationships amongst various biological species and their kingdoms. This is done by comparing similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics.
