In the life cycles you have examined so far, what features do you consider to be adapted to a terrestrial environment? Explain
at the time of their evolution, plants have adapted some terrestrial existence. Because they have to occupy some, specialized, ecological niches that are deserts, rainforests, and aquatic environments.
those adaptations allowed plants to overcome from the challenges of a dry environment and support growth.
These adaptive features of the terrestrial environment are the following: the presence of cuticles, stomata, vascular tissue that is xylem and phloem, gametangia, and seeds.
Waxy Cuticles and Stomata- reduce the rate of transpiration in case of low availability of water
Plant Phylogeny also play a very important role in adaptation
Alternation of Generations: The Moss Life Cycle is play important role in evolution.

Questions to complete: 1. How do the life cycles vary among the different plant groups? Gymnosperm vs. Angiosperm. 2. In comparison to mosses and ferns, what adaptations do gymnosperms have that make them better adapted to a dry environment? 3. Why are angiosperms so successful? 4. Compare and contrast a pinecone and a flower in terms of structure and function. 5. Describe flower morphology. 6. Explain why plant diversity can be considered a nonrenewable resource.
So far in your life, you may have assumed that as you are sitting in your chair right now, you are not accelerating. However, this picture is not quite complete! You are on the surface of the Earth, which is rotating. 1. a) What is the acceleration of a person sitting in a chair on the equator? b) The latitude of Corvallis is 44.4". What is your acceleration while sitting in your chair? (c) Is your apparent weight greater than,...
Discuss what you have learned so far in the course to compare quantitative and qualitative research: 1) discuss the similarities and differences in these research approaches. 2) Discuss the key features of each approach and give an example of a research question that might be asked for each.
So far we have examined the four financial statements: Income Statement, Statement of Stockholders' Equity, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement. Briefly discuss the four statements. Which is the most useful to external users and why?
Examine the life cycles of the 3 main groups of plants. What do you notice about the sporophyte and gametophyte stages as plants evolved from mosses to ferns to pine trees?
So far in this course, you have seen real-life applications of linear equations, linear inequalities, and linear systems. In your initial post to this forum, create a word problem related to your major for each of these three concepts. Review the applications in the text and the video lectures for ideas. You will also find many examples on the Internet as well. In the post, include the following: My major is Baking and Pastry, so all three concepts have to...
Based on what we've learned so far, what do you think human skin tones will look like 100,000 years from now? (assuming humans are not extinct!) Consider factors such as natural selection, founder effect, genetic drift, vitamin D, folate, etc.
What do plants go through alternation of generations life cycles ? In other words, what is the purpose of this process ?
THE CHALLENGE THAT SHAPED ME Think about your life in general or your career so far. When have you faced a real challenge? Why was it so difficult? Did it challenge your skills, values or identity? Were you with people or in a place that you found difficult? What did you do and how did that challenge shape you? How did it change how you see yourself? How did it define or redefine you?
Think about what you have learned so far about innovative leaders and managers. Using what you have learned so far, predict the characteristics that will be necessary for innovative leaders and managers in the future. Provide support for the characteristics that you identify.
