Evolutionary<span> thought, the conception that </span>species<span> change over time, has roots in antiquity - in the ideas of the </span>ancient Greeks<span>, </span>Romans<span>, and </span>Chinese<span> as well as in </span>medieval Islamic science<span>. With the beginnings of modern </span>biological taxonomy<span> in the late 17th century, two opposed ideas influenced </span>Western<span> biological thinking: </span>essentialism<span>, the belief that every species has essential characteristics that are unalterable, a concept which had developed from </span>medieval Aristotelian metaphysics<span>, and that fit well with </span>natural theology<span>; and the development of the new anti-Aristotelian approach to </span>modern science<span>: as the </span>Enlightenment<span> progressed, evolutionary </span>cosmology<span> and the </span>mechanical philosophy<span> spread from the </span>physical sciences<span> to </span>natural history<span>. </span>Naturalists<span> began to focus on the variability of species; the emergence of </span>paleontology<span> with the concept of </span>extinction<span> further undermined static views of </span>nature<span>. In the early 19th century </span>Jean-Baptiste Lamarck<span> (1744 – 1829) proposed his </span>theory<span> of the </span>transmutation of species<span>, the first fully formed theory of </span>evolution<span>.</span>
Plants are very crucial for maintenance of balance of ecosytem as part of the equilibrium and the primary basis for the ecosystem as the producers.
Explanation:
The ecosystem consists of plants with animals and the environment surrounding it. The balance of all three elements is essential for the co existence of the ecosystem. devoid of any or excess of either factor will lead to destruction.
The imbalance so caused will lead to over production or over consumption of the strata in the ecosystem. Plants holds the producer level of the ecosystem which forms the basis to all, if dis-balanced all the factors relying on it will decline eventually and the world will fall.
No I believe thats the other way around as in photosynthesis. For say water falls on the leaf then the leaf seperates the water from oxygen to give us the oxygen then it starts over to become a cycle.Life
It would be impossible to feel them move because they are moving to slow for us to realize it. Well, that is what I think.
