- photosynthetic eukaryotes (photoautotrophic)
plants cell walls contains ____
cellulose
ancestral group that gave rise to land plants went through …
adaptive radiation
on land, plants must …
- MAINTAIN MOISTURE inside cells
- SUPPORT their body
- OBTAIN RESOURCES (from soil and air)
- REPRODUCE (and disperse w/o water)
maintain moisture via …
- waxy cuticle
- stomata
support their body via …
lignin (supports against the pull of gravity)
obtain resources via
- water and minerals through roots (SOIL)
- CO2 through leaves (AIR and SUNLIGHT)
- SOME have a vascular system that transport resources to other parts of body
vascular tissue: Xylem
- consists of dead cells
- distributes water and minerals
vascular tissue: Phloem
- consists of living cells
- distributes sugar
Reproduction (sperm and offpsring)
