Outline the impact on the evolution of plants and animals of: a. Changes in physical conditions in the environment o Rising and falling sea levels – land and ice bridges across continents have affected distribution and therefore evolution when these bridges disappeared and populations were isolated

Biology textbook- pg. 80 3) Distinguish between the autotrophic and heterotrophic nature of plants and animals. Animals have heterotrophic cells; hence‚ they live off nutrients of other species by eating. Most plants have autotrophic cells‚ which allow them to generate their own food with photosynthesis. 4) Explain the following statement: ‘All living things depend on plants’. As animals are heterotrophs‚ they need to eat other species to survive. If mammals only depended on other mammals‚ there

The Harvard Citation System Academic writing always acknowledges the source of ideas. This is done by citing within the body of your writing‚ and by compiling a bibliography. By doing this you: Place your writing within a frame of reference of the work that has already been done in your field. Avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is the use of another’s work without acknowledgement. Drawing on somebody else’s work is not in itself plagiarism – the problems start if you use somebody else’s ideas
