Use this handout Plant Adaptation examples.docx to collect examples of plant adaptations.

Leaf Adaptations

We will look at some leaf adaptations but you need to know how to label the leaf before you do this. Use p 66 of Biozone or your notes to do this.
In class we will look at slides of hydrophytes(e.g. water lilly), mesophytes(clover or daisy) and xerophytes(cactus) and draw cross sections. Ypou will also use the following information to complete differences in these types of angiosperms and also look at halopytes(e.g. mangroves). he practical worksheet is included below.
