    Plants evolved from one type of protistans, the Green Algae.  Evidence for this relationship includes:

*biochemical attributes (such as photosynthesis, composition of cell walls)

* cellular attributes (such as mechanism of cell division, chloroplast structure)

* molecular attributes (such as similarities in ribosomes and the protein sypthesizing platforms)

*biochemical attributes (such as photosynthesis,  composition of cell walls)

*cellular attributes (such as mechanism of cell division, chloroplast structure)

*molecular attributes (such  as similarities in ribosomes and the protein synthesizing platforms)
