Accept our connectedness to events. It is not unknown forces that cause our problems.
We are the cause and the cure. We create our own reality and we can change it.

#1 Explain how plants are classified based on distinguishing characteristics
Diversity of Flowering Plants
Look up the word ‘cotyledon’ in the Index to get started
Scientists classify flowering plants into two groups based on the number of “seed leaves” a
plant has. “Seed leaves” are called Cotyledons:
A cotyledon is…
