Non-Vascular Plants
Plants are eukaryotic, photosynthetic organisms with chlorophylls a and b, xanthophylls and carotenoids. they have cell walls with cellulose, and store food as starch localized in plastids. As is found in the charophycean green algae, cytokinesis is accomplished by means of a phragmoplast. As we learn more about the green algae and the plants, it is becoming clear that plants are a phylogenetic group within the green algae which have colonized the land.
