Which of the following is not a plant adaptation to land environments?
A
Development of a waxy cuticle
B
Production of seeds
C
Ability to photosynthesize
D
Formation of vascular tissue
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: Plants have adapted to land environments through various features that help them survive and reproduce outside of aquatic settings.
Identify the adaptations: The development of a waxy cuticle helps prevent water loss, the production of seeds aids in reproduction and dispersal, and the formation of vascular tissue allows for efficient transport of water and nutrients.
Clarify the concept of photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. It is a fundamental characteristic of plants, not an adaptation specific to land environments.
Compare the options: Evaluate each option to determine which is a general characteristic of plants rather than a specific adaptation to terrestrial life.
Conclude: Recognize that the ability to photosynthesize is a basic trait of plants, including aquatic plants, and not a unique adaptation to land environments.
