Journal Entry 1

The phylogeny of Bittersweet Nightshade, or scientifically referred to as Solanum dulcamara, lays within the Solanaceae family. This group consists of a wide range of flowering plants containing approximately 2,700 species. They are also eukaryotes.
An adaptation all the observations have in common, is the ability to successfully obtain the required nutrients and water from the soil from their roots. This is critical for plants living on land.
However, a unique adaptation is that it is poisonous for many other species such as humans and other livestock. The toxic traits of this species is a unique adaption that provides potential dangers from some possible predators (like humans) but may be consumed by certain species (like certain birds)

Observations #1 Discussion

  1. Hairy Gumweed AKA Grindelia hirsutula, belongs to the species of perennial herb in the family Asteraceae as shown by one zoom. It is also belonging to the eukaryote species.
  2. One unique adaption that the Woolly hedge nettle AKA Lamb's ear has, is that it is shown to have antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to vancomycin.
  3. One adaption that all spieces of the observed plants have is that they were able to achieve living on land by having ' plant cuticles,' Which covers the epidermis of leaves, flowers and other aerial plant organs without periderm.

Journal Entry- Sonja

The bearded iris is generally part of the eukaryote species, more specifically under the vascular plant species. Using one zoom, the bearded iris was determined to be a monocotyledon that is part of the iris species.

One general adaptation that all the observations in this project have is that they are photosynthetic. Otherwise, the observations in this project are only limited by being land plants. As there are two observations of mosses in this project, a common adaptation cannot be the presence of a vascular system.

One unique adaptation of the wood fern is that it is seedless and reproduces using unicellular spores.
