biology and evolution in the geologic past
paleobotany

plants with economical importance
economic botany
organisms are highly organized, coordinated structures
order
anything that can trigger physical or behavioral changes
response to stimuli
formation of new individuals
reproduction
organisms follow specific instructions coded for by their genes
growth and development
control the organisms’ internal environment within limits
regulation
all organisms use a source of energy (ATP) for metabollic activities
energy processing
individuals with best traits suited to their environments heve greater reproductive success for future generation
evolutionary adaptation
closest living relatives of land plants
coleochaete and chara
