Living up to the stereotype of the Ewells, she faces isolation from the rest of society

The Convergence of Pollination Syndromes Pollination syndrome is defined as suites of flower characteristics such as (flower shape, size, and color) that have evolved in response to one kind of pollinator or another. Darwin (1862) using the natural history of pollination which was proposed by Kohlreuter (1761–1766) and Sprengel (1793) illustrates the theory of evolution by presenting that many flower characteristics are interpreted as to specific adaptations of various kinds of pollinating organisms

trees that have single or branched stems reaching a height of about 12 meters tall (40 feet). The branches are flexible, shiny, and glabrous, with a green or yellow color.

1. Each chloroplast has two outer membranes, which encloses a semi-fluid interior called the stroma. I inside the stroma is a third membrane called the thylakoid membrane. It located in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. It is the light-independent reactions take place. The thylakoid membrane absorbs photon energy of different wavelengths of light. Embedded in the thylakoid membranes are photosystems: Clusters of 200 to 300 pigments and other molecules that surround a pair of
