Protists
Binomial nomenclature
Genus species
Characteristics that have same structure and function that evolved early on as the species is being studied
Primitive traits (plesiomorphic trait)
Characteristics that have same structure and function that have evolved more recently
Derived traits ( apomorphic trait )
True of False: Plants can be seen in all environments in earth
True
Adapted to live in water, plant stem grow towards surface, and leaves unroll to form flat pads
Water Lillies
Often grows in forest floors, adaptations to cling to other objects, climbs fences, walls, rocks, and other plants
Vines
Pants that can survive dry spells due to their thick stems to store water
Cacti
Vegetative organs that composes most plants
Stem, Root, Leaves
Reproductive Organs of Flowers that Composed Most Plants
Sepal, Petals, Stamens, and Carpe
Buds that are located above the attachment points of stems that could develop to a stem or flower, but often remains dormant
Auxiliary Bud
