what is taxonomy
takes in oxygen and expels carbon dioxide
what is respiratory system
Plants that are characterized by the presence of conducting tissue.
what is Vascular plants

Species change over time (lamark)
Earth is very old (lyell)
Struggle for existence with population growth (malthus)
artificial selection
Fitness = ability to survive
