Document Summary
Photoautrophic: derive energy through photosynthesis rattan than eating (plants do this and animals dont) Requirements for this to occur: is a need for a large outer surface area to ef ciently capture light energy and facilitate gas exchange (most important requirement, light is relatively low in energy. Ex. one square meter of photosynthetically active cells working in full sun for. 10 hours would only produce about as much energy as what is found in single cheeseburger a. How plants defend themselves: through production of thorns, toxic chemicals, etc. How plants reproduce" : spread the pollen and seed via large attractive owers and sweet nutritious fruit to entice animals to help spread the seed and pollen. Live a sessile life in which they cannot run from predators or move to avoid heat, cold, or rain. Charles linneaus proposed the use of a binomial naming system for name species of plants. Grouped based on morphological similarities and genetic relationships.
