Plants

Many key characteristics of land plants also appear in variety of protists, primarily algae. Plants are multicellular, eukaryotic, photosynthetic autotrophs, as are brown, red, and certain green algae. Plants have cell walls made of cellulose, and so do green algae, dinoflagellates, and brown algae. And chloroplasts with chlorophylls a and b are present in green algae, euglenids, and a few dinoflagellates, as well as in plants. Torenia, a shade-loving animal, is called the wishbone flower. The world's tallest growing tree is the coast redwood, which grows along the Pacific Coast of the United States, mainly in California. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world; it can grow 35 inches in a single day. Angiosperm is the scientific name for flowering plants and refers to the seeds being born in capsuls or fruits.
