Although we do not know exactly what the first vascular plant looked like we can be very confident that it was similar to the fossil plant Cooksonia. Based on our understanding of Cooksonia, we can assume that the first vascular plant? Reproduced using seeds in strobili Had photosynthetic stems, not leaves Did not have branches Was dioecious

Plant photosynthesis transformed a very large amount of atmosphericcarbon dioxide into decay-resistant organic compounds, thereby causinga dramatic decrease in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels during thegeological period known as thea. Cambrian.b. Ordovician.c. Carboniferous.d. Permian.e. Pleistocene.
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.
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.)
When did plants first emerge? What kinds of fossils were found to give us some ideas about the timeline? What group of green algae is most closely related to plants? How do we know?
Explain when land plants evolved and the earliest evidence forthese plants.
Identify the features present in the ancestor of land plantsthat helped give rise to the land plants.
Explain how arborscent lycopods and horsetails are to vascular plant evolution what dinosaurs are to vertebrate evolution.
