A paleontologist found the fossils of a Glossopteris fern in all the southern continents of the world, as shown by the image. Site where Glossopteris fossils were found The Glossopteris fern was a type of plant. What best explains the occurrence of this fern in so many different parts of the world? O The Glossopteris fern could grow in any type of soil. O All the southern continents were once part of a single supercontinent where the Glossopteris fern grew. O The Glossopteris fern used water from oceans as a source for reproduction. O All the southern continents had favorable climatic conditions for the growth of the Glosso eris fern.

Green algae are very closely related to the fungi. B. Green algae and land plants are not related. C. Land plants appeared first in the fossil record. D.

Place the following adaptations in the correct order from earliest to most recent by numbering them from 1 to 5. a. vascular tissue b. ﬂowers c. seeds d. multicellularity e. movement to land
Plants made the leap from water to land during the late Ordovician period (we think). In order to make it, various physical obstacles had to be overcome. Choose one adaptation and explore it further. What evidence do we have of this change? Are there specific fossils of plants that exhibit it? How do we think it may have developed? Not all of these changes occurred at the exact same time. Was your chosen adaptation one of the first or late to the game? including references are appreciated.
The extinct plant Rhynia is important because: Select one:a. they are the only known lineage of land plant to lack a cuticleb. they are some of the earliest evidence of the evolution of lignified xylemc. they occured in huge numbers and formed the coal deposits human use todayd. it is the earliest known Hornwort fossile. it shows the earliest evidence of secondary thickening in land plants
Lichens are said to be composite organisms made up of two very different types of organisms: usually a fungus and an alga (or in a few lichens, a fungus and a Cyanobacterium). (Alga is the singular of algae.) How do these two types of organisms work together to become a functional composite organism? That is, what does each organism provides to the relationship to make it successful? Think about a lichen living on the face of a rock.
The earliest fossils clearly recognizable as parts of flowering plants are _____________________ __________________ in rocks more than ______________ million years old.
Animals and fungi are both heterotrophs, but they have many differences. What are the main differences in structure and function between a Precambrian animal (such as Hallucigenia) and a fungus like a mold.
Please do fast How old are the first recognizable mammals relative to the K/T boundary layer (i.e., extinction of the dinosaurs), and from what reptilian lineage did they evolve? Is this lineage the same reptilian lineage that gave rise to birds? How are these lineages distinguished? Hold old are the first fossil birds? What other plant/animal lineages first became widespread in the Tertiary that were less common in the Cretaceous?..
BIOMES & ADAPTIVE RADIATION Adaptive Radiation ven the type of biome these succulent plants are found in, identify 3 important stressors present in their environments. Now, describe how these pressures likely influenced the diversification of these plant lineages. Use one of the plant families listed above (and your representative species) to discuss as an example. (A well-developed paragraph is expected.)

Protists are the most varied group of organisms that we studied this term. They display unique adaptations in feeding, reproduction, and lifestyle (parasitism, free living, etc) among many others! Discuss protist evolution, including an overview of the major groups, and the breadth of variations that occur within this paraphyletic clade. How did protists lead to the evolution of the rest of life on Earth?
