Evolution has enabled plants to transform from aquatic organisms in to terrestrial life forms capable of performing the critical functions of nutrition, respiration, and reproduction in diverse environments. This course examines the different ways that plants become suited to their environments. These include adaptations in flowering and non-flowering plants, methods of obtaining food, pollination, seed dispersal, support, food and water storage, protection from herbivores, and adjustments to climatic changes.
