And once we know something is alive, how do we find meaningful levels of organization in its structure? And, finally, when faced with the remarkable diversity of life, how do we organize the different kinds of organisms so that we can better understand them? As new organisms are discovered every day, biologists continue to seek answers to these and other questions.

Each tissue type is essential to the overall structure and function of plants.

It details the processes of pollination and double fertilization, which lead to seed formation containing embryos and food. Furthermore, it describes how fruits, derived from ovary walls, aid in seed dispersal through various methods, contributing to the survival and distribution of the species.

It entails myths, historical accounts, and scientific concepts to describe how human efforts have shaped and produced easier to grow, larger, tastier, and more nutritious fruits, vegetables, and grains from wild plants.

His theory of evolution by natural selection shook the scientific community to its core, and observations used to synthesize this theory were collected on a five-year voyage around the world. In addition to the sheer number of Mexia’s samples, she was a natural scientist whose research contributed immensely to the modern classification of plants in North America.

For example, many roses in cultivation belong to different cultivars of Rosa banksiae, and yellow roses are often Rosa banksiae cv. ‘Lutea’ where the last part of name is for the cultivar.

Key topics include the evolution of gymnosperms and angiosperms, various plant structures like stems, leaves, buds, and roots, as well as reproductive anatomy of flowers and fruits. The importance of environmental factors in growth processes like absorption and photosynthesis is discussed.
