A slide on plants

1. Plants Plants are living organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. They include familiar organisms such as trees, flowers, herbs, bushes,grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae. The scientific study of plants is known as botany. As of 2010, botanists have identified more than 315,000 species of plants, of which 281,821 are flowering, 12,000 are ferns and fern allies, and 16,236 are bryophytes . Green plants, sometimes called Viridiplantae, obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis. This process uses chlorophyll contained in chloroplasts, which gives plants their green color.

2. Questions and answers What are Grasslands? They are big open spaces of grass. Where are Grasslands found? They are found on either side of two desert belts that circle the earth in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australia. How much of the earth is grassland? About one quarter of the earth's land is in the grasslands. What are the two different types of Grassland. 1.Tropical grasslands -- those closest to the equator are hot all year. 2.Temperate grasslands are farther from the equator such as the U.S. prairies and have both hot summers and harsh winters.

4. Food Chain A food chain shows how each living thing gets its food. Some animals eat plants and some animals eat other animals. For example, a simple food chain links the trees & shrubs, the giraffes (that eat trees & shrubs), and the lions (that eat the giraffes). Each link in this chain is food for the next link. A food chain always starts with plant life and ends with an animal. By- Shreyansh agarwal
