Plants are the main object of study of botany and, in scientific terms, they are all organisms multicellular with plant cells. In other words, plants are those living things that obtain Energy of sunlight captured through the chlorophyll present in them and specialized in carrying out processes of photosynthesis that convert carbon dioxide into chemical nutrients to survive. From this conversion, oxygen arises spontaneously and that is why plants are also vital for the subsistence of other living beings such as the human race.
Different living beings are considered within the kingdom of plants and in short it can be said that it is made up of terrestrial plants and algae. Although in the past fungi and other living beings that did not engulf or ingest food, currently living kingdoms are much more clearly defined.
Specifically, it is said that the characteristics of a plant are the level mobile known as eukaryote, the nutrition that occurs through photosynthesis,
breathing and perspiration, the metabolism oxygen, a reproduction which can be asexual or sexual with gametes and zygote and with spores, a type of multicellular life and a structure with plasmodesmata.The common plant is divided into root, stem, leaf, flower and fruit. Plants are distinguished from those that are annuals (usually those with flowers or others such as millet and wheat), those that need two years to complete their cycle or biennials (chard, radishes and others), and those that subsist for more than two years (among them, most trees and shrubbery).
Throughout history and today, plants have had various uses for the human race, starting with food and nutrition (fruits and vegetables), transformation or use of its components to produce medicines or beauty products (for example, aloe vera), or even to develop clothing, furniture and all kinds of functional objects or decorative.
Mainly, the inclusion of green spaces in houses, neighborhoods and cities has the objective of purifying the air and counteracting the effects of the generation of carbon dioxide by human activity.
