Q

How did plants adapt to land… (5 things)

A
  1. Vascular System, transporting water
  2. Waxy cuticles on leaves, keeps water from evaporating
  3. Stomata, helps with photosynthesis, allows CO2 to come inside
  4. Lignin, helps form a structure like skeleton
  5. Encloses gametes & embryos in plant tissues
