The common characteristic of this kingdom is that all are eukaryotic
Kingdon Protista
They developed the theory of evolution by natural selection
Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace
Plants are broken down into these two main groups
Vascular & Non-vascular
Flowering plants are split into these two groups
monocot and dicot
provides an anchor for plants to remain in place and the absorption and transportation of water and minerals.
What is a root system?
Caused by the rapid multiplication of dinoflagellates
What are red tides?
Shows the fossil change over a long period of time, includes transitional fossils and fossil appearance in rock strata
What is fossil record?
I'm a protective waxy coating on the outer surface that reduces water loss
What is a plant cuticle?
Have flower parts in threes or multiples of threes
monocot
Increases the absorption of water and minerals
What are root hairs?
The supergroup that includes red & green algae and land plants
What is Archaeplastida?

Biogeographical evidence
I produce flowers and seeds and are one of the four main plant groups
What is an Angiosperm?
This vegetable is a flower

The root system for Monocots
What is a fibrous root system?
This protist helps produce carrageenan and agar
red-algae
A deep-water trench that separated the islands and prevented the migration of most species
What is Wallace's line?
I'm a gymnosperm/naked seedless vascular and cone-bearing seed plant group
What are conifers?
The food source for the developing sporophyte embryo
What are flowering plants?
Have a large, dominant portion growing straight down with lateral roots that sprout off of the main root
What is a tap root?
Theory that eukaryotic cells stem from prokaryotic organisms
What is Endosymbiosis theory?
When species that aren't closely related but resemble each other based on living in similar environments
What is convergent evolution
In the moss life cycle, this generation is dominant
haploid generation (gametophyte)
Describes a flower with all four main components sepals, petals, pistils and stamens
What is a complete flower?
modified root used for storing food which is mostly found in the form of carbs
