Question
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.

- What evidence supports the idea that members of the plant kingdom evolved from ancestral green algaearrow_forwardName Date Use the context to answer questions 19 through 21) In Florida, many plants live their lives without ever touching the ground These plants grow on the tall trees of the mangrove forests. The seeds of the plants never touch the soil on the ground far below. The seed breaks open and rodts grow to support the plant as it grows. Stems begin to dimb upwards. Leaves spread to gather the light at the top of the tree. The heavy rain and humid air of Florida means that the plants can get all of the wwater they need right wihene they grow. These plants are commonly called "air plants." 19 What important process within air plants is most likely different compared to plants that live on the ground? A. making food B. growing leaves C. reproducing D. getting nutrients 20 "Spanish moss" is a common type of air plant that grows in Florida. However, the common name is not correct. "Spanish moss" is not actually moss. What structure would clearly show that "Spanish moss" is NOT really a moss?…arrow_forwardThe kingdom Plantae constitutes large and varied groups of organisms. There are more than 300,000 species of identified and cataloged plants. Using the geologic record, discuss and explain when and how plants colonized the land. Include the adaptations that enabled them to survive on land amid the harsh environmental conditions.arrow_forward

- Describe Phylum Gingophyta, and explain why and how Ginkgo biloba became the only surviving species. What is the importance of this species to man?arrow_forwardVascular plants sequestered large amounts of CO2 through photosynthesis when they first expanded across terrestrial environments, leading to a glaciation. Evaluate the claim that a similar glaciation event occurred when the first plants colonized land. Be sure to consider whether or not photosynthesis by these new species alone could cause a glaciation.arrow_forwardDescribe a minimum of two ways that plants changed the land environment to support the emergence of land animals.arrow_forward
