Aristotle specifically noted that thought and intellect separates humans from other living things. Obviously, science has since provided us much more insight into the intricacies of life since Aristotle, in regards to both plants and animals. Consider the capability of language that has been explored in some species (gorillas, dolphins). [Obviously we are not...

Homology refers to the presence of a feature in two taxonomic groups due to shared common ancestry – that is, the evolutionary origin of the feature in a common ancestor of the two taxa. Homoplasy, on the other hand, refers to the opposite situation – the presence of similar features due to independent convergent or parallel evolution in two groups. Describe three features that we discussed in class that are homoplastic (i.e., they have arisen independently in at least two...

Ecologic theories are often based on fundamental biological processes and conditions. In the case of plants, there are several theories relevant for them, for example: the Food web or Food Chain theory. This theory establish a complex network where predators interacts with preys, in order to sustain the life. But where are located plants in all of this? This chain begins with a primary producer (so called autotroph) which can be a plant. Plants are able to manufacture its own...
