Paleontology

A branch of science concerning the scientific study of life from ancient times is known as paleontology. The scientists working on paleontology are known as paleontologists. Paleontologists collect the fossils of organisms from ancient times to classify them. The paleontologists also study the environment from ancient times to study the interactions between different organisms.

Please answer asap Characteristic of plants to survive on land Select the following characteristics that allowed plants to survive and reproduce in a land environment. A) Develop a means to prevent their cells and tissues form drying out B) Enclosing the chloroplast in a double membrane to protect the pigments from UV radiation C) Develop a system to transport water and nutrients to their cells D) Strengthen their cell wall with cellulose to support cells against gravity E) Reproductive structures had to change to disperse gametes in the absence of water F) Develop chlorophyll a and b for photosynthesis G) Protect their embryos from the temperature and moisture variations of life on land H) Storage of excess carbohydrates as starch
While exploring a forest, you come upon a plant that you haven't seen before. You dig it up and take it back to your lab for further inspection. Back at the lab, you observe the characteristic structure of the plant and make some notes. Then, you carefully dissect the stems and leaves and look at the tissue under the microscope. Finally, you are able to determine the type of plant it is. Use the notes below to identify the class to which this plant belongs. Notes on physical characteristics of the specimen: the plant has no leaves or roots, but has hair-like rhizomes which anchors it in the soil the stems are highly branched sporangia are present at the ends of each stem dissection of the stem shows the presence of vascular tissue in the form of a xylem and phloem

You are asked to survey an area and identify all plant and animal species you come across. On your survey, you come across a plant you are not familiar with and must do some research to figure out what it is. To do this, your first step is to determine whether this plant is classified in the class Monocotyledonae or a Eudicotyledonae. Explain how you can tell if this plant is a Monocot or Eudicot by describing the differences in their flowers, seeds, roots, stems, and leaves. 1.
Ch. 22-1 Early botanists admired ferns but found their life cycle perplexing. In the 1700s, they learned to propagate ferns by sowing what appeared to be tiny dust-like "seeds" from the undersides of fronds. Despite many attempts, the scientists could not find the pollen source, which they assumed must stimulate these "seeds" to develop. Imagine you could write to one of these botanists. Compose a note that would clear up the confusion.
