Simple Greens
A component found in plants that allowed land plants to grow tall and outcompete simpler plants.
Vascular tissue (xylem and phloem)
The structure found in gymnosperms and angiosperms which allowed them to be the dominant plant forms on the planet.
Seeds
The branch of ecology that would take into account interactions between colonies of chimpanzees.
Population Ecology
The type of interaction seen through the interaction of a honey bee and sunflower in which the bee gains nectar and the sunflowers are pollinated.
Mutualism
The means by which energy enters ecosystems.
Solar Radiation
A derived characteristic for all land plants
Alternation of generations, walled spores, multicellular gametangia, apical meristems
The phylum for the Virginia state flower: Flowering Dogwood.
Anthophyta
The biome characterized by a breeding ground for many oceanic fish as they swim up to covered areas which involve a transition area between sea and river.
Estuary
The type of climate studied by looking at the community within the inside of a hollow log.
Microclimate
