What is the importance of plants.?

Universal.\nPlants are producer organisms converting sunlight and minerals into food that we can eat. They absorb carbon out of the atmosphere, produce oxygen and as importantly pump water from the ground into the air, making more water available as rain and preventing salt from building up in the soil surface (salination). Plants prevent soil erosion through slowing the impact of rain and wind. They provide wood for fuel, building and paper, they provide homes and food for myriads of other animals, and without plants we would be in a sorry state of affairs. Plants beautify the landscape and make us feel better about our surroundings. Plants are good things,

Well, humans need animals and plants for food, raw materials, entertainment and other related functions.\n\nHumans can help plants disperse their seeds and can help feed certain animals.

Botany is the scientific study of plantlife.  Botany covers the study of the structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, ecology, and evolution of plants.\n\n\n\nI know quite a bit, I just completed that class at this semester at the college i go too.

The need for research is a small one because we could certainly get by without it. Research could however be advantageous because characteristics of these plants and animals could help with medicine and science if understood since they are designed to survive in extreme conditions. Also some will go extinct and we should try to understand them before that.

I'd say pretty dang important.\nYou've got competition between plants for resources, like Nitrogen and Phosphorus.  You've got competition between birds for nesting sites.  Fish also play a role here; those that have gills better adapted to salty water can take oxygen out of the water more efficiently than fish that have gills more adapted to freshwater.

right! plants have the ability to produce their own food. They get essential nutrients from the sun's rays and from the soil. When plants get certain elements and/or nutrients from its major surroundings, it is therefore able to convert the nutrients into food; making the plant survive with no dependence from us.

I think of utmost importance would be the production of grasses, which includes corn, wheat, barley, oats, etc.  Of secondmost importance would then be the ruminants such as cows which live off grass and provide the human world with most of its meat.  Thirdly would be the myriad species which are not cows which eat the grasses and seeds derived therefrom, which are in turn eaten by other animals...\n\nAdditionally, the presence of the grasses provides an anchor for water in the soil, which (as was learned in the dust-bowl of the 1930's American midwest) prevents soil erosion and drought.

Plants store food as starch, sugar, glucose, and sometimes protien (as in pulses). And that is what we eat as fruits etc.

I would suggest you this subject: 'Why are most plants green?' It seems very interesting and challenging.

>Plant do not contain much organelles inside the cell\n so they posses large vacuoles in their cytoplasm.\n>Where as animals as more cell organelles in their cell\n They store some bio-molecules which is required for them during the necessary period like starvation.\nso animals do not have vacuole.\n\n>Plants are auto-tropic which can synthesis their own food.\nplant get their food by photosynthesis which is the       biochemical process. \nThe chloroplast plays the major role in photosynthesis.\n>Animal is an hetero-tropic depend on other for food.\nso they don't need chloroplast.\n\nchloroplast contains chlorophyll pigment which is green coloured pigment also make the plants to appear green.\nso animal do not require chloroplast anyway.

This site lists some interesting science project ideas...\nyou can modify them to make them more or less complicated depending on your grade/age.\nhttp://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/scifairstudio/ideas.html#plants\nGood luck on your project!

1. plants can make their own food while animals depend on the othe living things.\n\n2. plants needed carbon dioxide to live while animals need oxygen.\n\n3. plants and animals have cells in them while nonliving things have atoms in them.\n\n4. living things undergo stages of development while nonliving things do not.\n\n5. living things multiply while nonliving things do not.\n\n6. living things contains DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid).\n\n7. living things have lives.

The relative rigidity of the cell wall renders plants sedentary, unlike animals, whose lack of this type of structure allows their cells more flexibility, which is necessary for locomotion. The plant cell wall serves a variety of functions. Along with protecting the intracellular contents, the structure bestows rigidity to the plant, provides a porous medium for the circulation and distribution of water, minerals, and other nutrients, and houses specialized molecules that regulate growth and protect the plant from disease.(plants do not have an immunity system, and cell wall is a good barrier)

Only plants have chloroplasts and cell walls.

We eat "plants" for breakfast, lunch and dinner. \n\nWhat "plants" have you eaten today?\n\nWe use "plants" to make medicines.\n\nWe use "plants" to build furniture and buildings.\n\n"Plants" are useful in cleaning the air we breathe.\n\nMan is very dependent on "plants".

Trees are a major contribution to the oxygen we breathe. There are many plants used in the production of the medicines that cure our ills and keep us alive.
