The Poaceae family belongs to the Liliopsida class
Varves are the result of parent material formation in ancient supraglacial lakes.
Winter annuals and biennials are the two plant life cycles that overwinter only once
The "Species" level of plant classification is made up of "Genera"
Soils with a south aspect would likely have gymnosperms mostly growing on them.
Stone cells (sclereids) and fibers have relatively thin walls
Duplication of DNA takes place in the nucleus
A cell wall consists primarily of complex sugar molecules.
Mineral soils have master horizons labelled A, B and C
The angiosperms are flowering plants with covered seeds
The vessel elements of xylem have adjacent companion cells that aid in the conduction of water
Soils with low water content have adequate oxygen levels for plant root growth.
