20.1 KEY CONCEPT-Plant life began in the water and became adapted to land.

Both are photosynthetic eukaryotes with the same types of chlorophyll. Both also use starch as a storage product and have cell walls that contain cellulose. One ancient species of green algae is the common ancestor of all plants. If it were

For over the past several years each student is given 3 containers‚ each with 1 larva‚ which they had to care for. After the larvae had formed their chrysalises each student put 1 of their containers into a cold climate approximately 45°F‚ 1 in a warm climate approximately 85°F and 1 stayed out at room temperature approximately 72°F. The larvae spent a total of 5 days in each climate‚ and then they were removed and brought back to room temperature. Then the waiting game started to see how long it

Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species‚ including nontarget species‚ air‚ water‚ bottom sediments‚ and food.[1] Pesticide contaminates land and water when it escapes from production sites and storage tanks‚ when it runs off from fields‚ when it is discarded‚ when it is sprayed aerially‚ and when it is sprayed into water to
