Plant Evolution and Diversity, part 1

Biologists describe thee as multicellular eukaryotes with tissues and organs that have specialized structure and functions.

An adaptation found on most above ground plant parts, is this fatty coating on the outer surface of their cells.

• stomata

• cuticle

• vascular tissue

• strobilus

Fats and waxes are these, that are insoluble in water.

This helps prevent the evaporation of water from plant tissues and can also act as a barrier to invading microorganisms.

• strobilus

• lipids

• cuticle

• stomata

The exchange of gases between plant tissues and the environment is necessary for this to occur.
