climate change? The major terrestrial adaptations of plants are maintaining moisture, obtaining resources from two locations, supporting the plant body, and reproduction and dispersal. To maintain moisture, a waxy cuticle that prevents water loss covers the aboveground parts of most land plants. Plants need to obtain resources from two locations, so their roots provide anchorage and absorb water and mineral nutrients from the soil. Above ground, plants have leaves that obtain CO2 from the air and light

Plant Diversity Paper Plants are extremely diverse multicellular photosynthetic organisms whose evolution can be traced back to one common ancestor. This common ancestor would most likely be some variation of the common day green algae. Even though these green algae are only modicums of modern day plants they still contain the most important characteristic of all, the ability to photosynthesize. Photosynthesis is the ability to take in water, carbon dioxide, and solar energy and convert it

grass needs the rain as well as the animals in order to survive. The temperatures help decide which type of animals and plant life will live in that area as well. Carbon function in the ecosystem is to be used by the plants for photosynthesis and to make organic molecules (Slideshare.net 2012). It is pulled from the atmosphere and used to become stored food. Animals eat the plants and then their digestive system breaks down the food to release energy and when breathing they release carbon dioxide

ecosystem. ENERGY As energy flows through ecosystems, from producers to consumers to detrivores to decomposers, some energy is lost at each level. The Sun is life’s main energy supply. Using energy from the Sun, plants make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Plants need to use most of the energy from the food they make for everyday life processes, such as growing and producing flowers and seeds. On average, only about one-tenth ( 1 10 or 10%) of a plant’s food energy gets stored

Lesson 3 essay questions Exam # 25085400 1. Directional and disruptive selection can be compared because they both favor extreme phenotypes, they adjust to their environments over time and they both cause a shift in the distribution curve. The contrast in directional selection is the distribution curve shifts one way and only focuses on one extreme phenotype. An example of directional selection would be the gradual increase in size of the modern horse. This change occurred due to the environment
