Brenna Bordeniuk - Lab 1 Journal Entry

1) Using the phylogenetic tree from OneZoom, I chose to identify the placement of my observed walnut tree. The phylogenetic placement for my observation went as follows: eukaryote, viridiplantae, streptophyta, magnoliopsida, Fagales, Juglandaceae, Juglans.
2) One, very broad, adaptation that all our organisms exhibit is their ability to withstand relatively cold temperatures. The way each organism achieves this is unique to it and varies between physiological (photosynthesis), behavioural (burrowing/den building) and physical (root systems) means.
3) One of my observations was a small cluster of Riverbank Grapes. This particular plant has a unique ability to resist mildew and black rot on its foliage. Ultimately, this adaptation allows this organism to survive (by maintaining photosynthetic processes) during varying weather conditions in its habitat.
