Adriana's journal entry - Plants

The Hosta plant that I observed is a monocotyledon on the phylogenetic tree because it is a 'one seed leaf' plant and because its buds are below the soil level.
The Walnut tree that I observed has adapted to protect itself by releasing a toxic chemical that inhibits the growth of other nearby plants. This ensures that its roots can grow deep in the soil without barriers.
One adaptation that all plants require to live in the Montreal summer climate is the ability to survive in a temperate climate (hot summer with rain). Therefore, most of the leaves of my observed species are light-weight in order to capture the necessary sunlight and also be light enough to not be heavily weighed down when rain accumulates on them.
