lab prac two Flashcards
four obstacles to successful adaptation to terrestrial environments
dessication, water consumption, reproduction, and gravity
prevention from drying out
adaptation to desiccation
intake and movement of water throughout the plant
adaptation to water consumption
transport of gametes without the use of an aquatic medium and protection of the zygote and growing embryo (usually defenseless)
adaptation to reproduction
maintaining an upright position without the support of buoyancy forces in water
adaptation to gravity
