supports the body, protects organs
What are the tiny holes on the underside of leaves called (where carbon dioxide enters the leaf)?
stomata
What are sensory structures?
structures that collect information
What are innate and learned behaviors?
innate - do not require learning or experiences, learned - develop through experience and memories
