1. What adaptations do plants have that allow them to survive on land? (hint: this might be easiest for you to approach if you start with algae and work up to flowering plants - how is each plant "level" unique?) 2. How did the development of a vascular system contribute to the increase in size of plants? 3. Pollinators are on the decrease world wide. How do you think this will impact the evolutionary trajectory of plants?

Step 1
Plants have adaptations that allow them to survive on land, such as a vascular system that allows them to transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. Show more…

Explain how plants became adapted to live on land. How did these adaptations change over evolutionary time, from non-vascular plants to Angiosperms? Make sure you give at least two examples of adaptations
Madhur L.
Select three adaptations that plants have for life on land. Explain how each of those adaptations helps the plant to survive on land. Hypothesize how the plant life cycle may be an adaptation to help ensure the survival of their offspring. If you were to design a plant-like organism on another planet that was living on land but in a very wet environment, what are two adaptations that you would expect that plant to have in response to that environment? If you were to design a plant-like organism on another planet that was living on land but in a very dry environment, what are two adaptations that you would expect that plant to have in response to that environment that are more specific to that dry environment? Discuss the reasons why plants and fungi are from different Kingdoms. Include information on structure and lifestyle.
