Photosynthetic Organisms

Study Complexitities of Organisms using Online Video

Use our 6 online educational video titles to learn some of the complexities of nature, including adaptation, structure, and photosynthesis, from simple photosynthetic organisms such as algae, mosses, liverworts, and ferns. Compare the advantages and disadvantages for plants of land-based and moister environments. Discover how the evolution of vascular systems helped plants survive on land. Learn why some algae are in Kingdom Monera, some are in Kingdom Protista, and some are in Kingdom Plantae. Discover the differences between members of Division Lycophyta, Division Sphenophyta, and Division Pterophyta.
