Down
- 1. eaten by humans directly
- 2. the most abundant and diverse plants in the environment
- 3. similar species form a group
- 4. recycling nutrients in the environment
- 6. information is gathered from morphology, anatomy, cell structure, biochemistry, genetics, and the fossil record to determine evolutionary relationships and, therefore, natural groupings among plants.
- 10. appearance of an individual plant in its entirety
- 11. membrane A semipermeable membrane encloses the cytoplasm within a cell.
- 12. encloses and protects the cell contents and plays a vital role in cell division and cell expansion.
