1. Plants, Fungi, and the Colonization of Land

2. Migration onto Land Continents subjected to flooding and receding of seas throughout geologic time. Natural selection could have favored algae that could survive periods of being unsubmerged. Eventually, some species may have accumulated adaptations allowing permanent life out of water

3. Land vs. Water Environment Differences –Support –Access to minerals –Photosynthesis –Reproduction
