Section Two: FILL IN 
There will be 2 categories  Adaptation and Effect of Adaptation.   I will give you one or the other and you will fill in the missing piece.

Ex.
Given Effect of Adaptation : Reduces water loss in leaves and stems
Answer Adaptation : WAXY CUTICLE

Section Three and Four: Short Answer
You will be given a scenario and will have to identify the stimuli, predict the plant response and explain how the plant will change (cellular/tissue) for that response.

Botany Unit

As we begin the plant unit, I would like you to start to think about the connections of the functions of plant tissues and organs to those we will soon be learning about in Vertebrate anatomy.

We will blow throw chapters 23-27 in about 2 weeks and then spend a week on photosynthesis and transpiration. Dates are subject to change
