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.
Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species (biology) spatially (geography) and temporally (history). Biogeography aims to reveal where organisms live, at what abundance, and why they are or are no) found in a certain geographical area. Biogeography does not support the theory of evolution any more then when (history) you (biology) moved into your house (geography).
Most plants have special structures on their leaves called stomates. Carbon dioxide is drawn into the leaf tissue through these pore-like structures.
All plants contain male and female reproductive structures
Fossil the dead remains of plants and animals that lived in the past is know as fossil.
Evolution is the development of new characteristics and species over many generations which arises from changes in the environment. The idea (which has been called the single best idea ever had by a person) was that of Charles Darwin, an English naturalist and geologist. The theory of natural selection comes along too. That is a random decision in which a species either thrives or becomes extinct. But sometimes extinction is caused by human interactions and environmental issues; not just by natural selection.
Three main branches of Natural History are botany (study of plants), zoology (study of animals), and geology (study of Earth's structures and processes).
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.
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.
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.
Plants came first in the evolution of life on Earth, appearing before animals.
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.
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.
Evolution.
Plants with protective structores
Thorns, spines (such as those on a cactus), and prickles are examples of protective structures of plants.
Plants got the process of photosynthesis by means of evolution.
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.
