Over time, the demands of life on land favored the evolution of plants more resistant to the drying rays of the sun, more capable of conserving water, and more capable of reproducing without water.

What are three main branches of Natural History?

Three main branches of Natural History are botany (study of plants), zoology (study of animals), and geology (study of Earth's structures and processes).


Did all the plants form all at the same time?

Plants evolved over millions of years through various stages. Different groups of plants, such as mosses, ferns, and flowering plants, appeared at different times in Earth's history. The evolution of plants is an ongoing process that continues to this day.


How did the changing geologic condition of the Paleozoic age affect the evolution of animals and plants?

The changing geologic condition of the Paleozoic age affected the evolution of animals by leading to the development of land based vertebrates and vascular plants. The largest mass extinction in our planets history happen at the end of the Paleozoic Era.


What are the four groups of terrestrial plants?

The four groups of terrestrial plants are bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), pteridophytes (ferns and their relatives), gymnosperms (conifers and cycads), and angiosperms (flowering plants). These groups vary in their reproductive structures and evolutionary history.


Which came first, plants or animals, in the evolution of life on Earth?

Plants came first in the evolution of life on Earth, appearing before animals.


Land plants no longer required water as a medium for reproduction with the evolution what?

Land plants no longer require water as a medium for reproduction with evolution because with the evolution of seeds and pollen it is no longer needed.


How did the relative lack of water on land affect how plants evolved?

The relative lack of water on land influenced plants to develop structures like roots to absorb water and transport it throughout the plant. This led to the evolution of specialized tissues for water and nutrient uptake. It also influenced the development of mechanisms to minimize water loss, such as the evolution of cuticles and stomata.


What is the cause of non-flowering plants?

Evolution.


What are the different plants and their protective structures?

Plants with protective structores


Give samples of plants with their protective structures?

Thorns, spines (such as those on a cactus), and prickles are examples of protective structures of plants.


How plants get the process of photosynthesis?

Plants got the process of photosynthesis by means of evolution.


What is charophyceans?

Charophyceans are a group of green algae that are closely related to land plants. They are found primarily in fresh water and have some characteristics, such as cellulose cell walls and similar reproductive structures, that are shared with land plants. Charophyceans are considered important in the study of plant evolution.
