These stomata are from the leaf of a common horsetail.Describe how stomata and other adaptations facilitated life onland and ultimately led to the formation of the first forests.
Pines and other plants that grow in very cold climates have sunken stomata just like the plants of the desert, yet the annual precipitation where they grow may be very abundant. Is there any advantage to their having such a modification?
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Grasslands typically do not flourishwhen large herbivores are removed. Instead, grasslands arereplaced by broad-leaved herbaceous eudicots, shrubs, andtrees. Based on your knowledge of the structure and growthhabits of monocots versus eudicots, suggest a reason why
