Learning Outcomes:
It is expected that students will:


explain how the increasing complexity of algae, mosses, & ferns represent an
evolutionary continuum of adaptation to a land environment
analyse how the increasing complexity of gymnosperms & angiosperms contribute
to survival in a land environment
Knowledge:



trends of increasing complexity in plant lifeforms
characteristics of algae, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms
adaptations of plants to a land environment
