What Makes Plants a Plant? (The Video)             


AutoTrophs - They make their own organic molecules rather than getting them by eating other organisms.


Multicellular - a multicellular is an organism or part having or consisting of many cells.


Terrestrial -  relating to the earth.


Photosynthesis - The process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.


Dioxide - A oxide containing two atoms of oxygen in its molecule or empirical formula.


Mosses - A small flowerless green plant that lacks true roots, growing in damp habitats and reproducing by means of spores released from stalked capsules.


Kelp - A large brown seaweed that typically has a long, tough stalk with a broad frond divided into strips.


Ferns - A flowerless plant which has feathery or leafy fronds and reproduces by spores released from the undersides of the fronds. Ferns have a vascular system for the transport of water and nutrients.


Seed - The unit of reproduction of a flowering plant, capable of developing into another such plant.
