Chapter 24.3, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for the green revolution in the Cenozoic era and its effect on the flowering plants.
Introduction:
In the Cenozoic era, the flowering plants diversified and dominated the forests, except in the cooler regions, which was still filled occupied by the gymnosperms. This happened because of the positions of continents, which favored their growth during this period.

Biologist hypothesize that the first land plants had a low, sprawling growth habitat. Which of the following is part of the logic behind that theory? A. The low sprawling growth gave them greater surface area exposed to light for photosynthesis. B. This was prior to plants’ development of adaptations to defend themselves from predators, so by growing low they were out of sight of most predators. C. The wind speed was much greater at that time that it is now, and pushed the plants over. D. To obtain water, they had to keep their tissues in direct contact with moist soil. 2.
