- Apply Evolutionary Thinking A variety of structural features of land plants reflect the conflicting demands for conserving water and taking in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Identify at least four fundamental structural adaptations that help resolve this dilemma and explain how each one contributes to a land plants survival.arrow_forwardPhytochrome is a plant pigment protein that mediates plant infection promotes plant growth mediates morphological changes in response to red and far-red light inhibits plant growtharrow_forwardThree of the same species of plant are each grown under a different colored light for the same amount of time. Plant A is grown under blue light, Plant B is grown under green light, and Plant C is grown under orange light.
