autotroph
organism that produces their own food
eukaryotes
cells that have a nucleus
adaptations for living on land
Need to obtain WATER & OTHER NUTRIENTS.
ex. Algae- from H2O that surrounds them.
ex. Flower- from H2O in soil.
Cuticle
transparent waxy layer that covers leaves.
Holds H2O in & Lets sunlight through.
Transport Material
for growth and development
Nonvascular or Bryophytes-
no ROOTS , STEMS or LEAVES.
Grow in DAMP & shady areas in or near WATER.
Height- a few cm tall.
