cutinized
Species having specific features caused then to adapt and reproduce and passed these
features to their offspring
natural selection
Plant sp. have ability to adapt in harsh conditions
ex. During winter
leaves are drop in autumn…..
the bark formation on stem decreases _______
decreases surface area + water lost
persist and prod new shoot during spring cutinized leaves/
stems of evergreens prevent water loss
bulbs, corms, tubers
critical area for research. Prevents extinction of
species
Conservation Biology
seeks to develop new plant products. The creation of
genetically modified plants

Attaches themselves to mother plant
Bryophytes
Vascular
Fern family
Non seed bearing
Reproduce through spores
Pteridophyte
Conifers Pine trees They have seeds, also vascular Seeds are not enclosed/protected in an ovary Seeds are protected by cones
Gymnosperm
Flowering plants Largest plant group Vascular Seeds protected by ovary They bear fruits
Angiosperm
