Lab 3 Journal Entry

Almost all of the plants I observed were tall. This helps them reach more sunlight, as there are fewer things obstruction the light's path toward them. The one plant that I observed that was not tall was what I believe to be Giant Knotweed, had leaves that were far larger than the other plants I observed, which I belive is to allow the plant to catch much more sunlight from the ground than the other plants I observed would be able to if they were the same height. Maple trees are in the family Sapindaceae, while black maples are more specifically the genus Acer and the species nigrum. This is a type of flowering plant, in the subphylum angiospermae.
