A leaf is often a relatively large, flat surface used to optimize sunlight capture. However, surfaces are areas that water can evaporate from, so a large amount of surface area exposed to sunlight results in increased transpiration. The anatomy of a leaf has everything to do with achieving the balance between photosynthesis and transpiration in the environment in which the plant grows.

Eventually, this selection resulted in the evolution of vascular tissue -- pipes that could bring water up from the ground so that parts of the plant could be raised upward, and those parts raised upward could transport their photosynthates down to the lower parts of the plant.

Most form ascocarps (apothecia, perithecia, or cleistothecia), while others produce naked asci or reproduce asexually with conidia.

What is the function of the phloem tissue and how do the specialized cells in this tissue contribute to this function? What is the function of the epidermis and how do the specialized cells in the epidermis contribute to this function? Was this a simple or complex tissue in the specimens you viewed? Compare and contrast the function and appearance of parenchyma cells in the cortex of a plant.

Telomeres are of interest to many scientists studying aging, as it is possible that the degeneration of telomeres during replication eventually leads to the suite of symptoms we connect with the aging process.

Formerly, these groups were all believed to have been related, sharing the characteristics of being heterotrophic eukaryotes, generally with cell walls, usually decomposers or parasites, and often with the storage carbohydrate glycogen. Similarly, fungi are still studied under the umbrella of botany as a relic of past classification, but they are more closely related to animals than they are to plants.
