Classification
Domain Eukarya
There are 3
different domains: bacteria, archaea, and eukaryota. The characteristic
that distinguishes the three is based apon
membrane-enclosed organelles and if there is a presence or absence
of a nucleus. Both bacteria and archaea domains do not have
membrane-enclosed organelles and they both are absent of a nucleus
(also known as prokaryotic cells). In comparison the domain eukarya
where the organelles are enclosed with a membrane and contains a
nucleus (or known as a eukaryotic cell). Linum marginale is made up
of eukaryotic cells and have membrane-enclosed organelles and
therefore is placed under the eukarya domain.
Kindom Plantae
The domain
eukarya is split into 4 kingdoms: protista, fungi, plantae, and
animalia. Plantae are multicellular, autotrophic, photosynthesizing
organisms with cell walls made of cellulose.
Phylum Charophyta
The kindom plantae are divided into 3 major characteristics: seedless non-vascular plants, seedless vascular plants, and seed vascular plants. Phylum charophyta is categorized under the seedless non-vascular plants due to their dependence on the environment to disperse their spores.
Class Equisetopsida
Under the class
equisetopsida, plants evolved xylem and phloem to become vascular
plants that bear spores.
Order Malpighiales
Malpighiales is the order
where the species, Linum marginale, becomes an angiosperm flowering
plant.
Family Linaceae
Linaceae is a
family of flowering plants.
Genus Linum
Plants in the
linum genus are used as food plants.
Species Linum marginale
