Name 4 different evolutionary adaptations that allowed plants to survive on land instead of in water. Explain the significance of each adaptation-how does it help terrestrial plants?
Describe a modified structure and function of the following plant organs:
Leaf -
Stem -
Root -
The rapid turgor movements of the sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica) are rare in the Plant Kingdom. If all plants evolved such movements, would the phenomenon have possible survival value or other value to the plants? Explain.
