Excerpt

Viridiplantae (green plants) are a clade of photosynthetic organisms that contain chlorophylls a and b, produce and store their photosynthetic products inside a double-membrane-bounded chloroplast, and have cell walls that typically contain cellulose. As photoautotrophic organisms, green plants are capable of converting carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. Thus, carbohydrates are not limiting and their utilization throughout a plant's life cycle has expanded enormously both in functionality and structural diversity.
