Assignment help needed!!!!

[LeeOulton]

Hi all,

 

I am in the middle of an assignment and I am stuck on a question. I know the basic info but I just cant think of how to put it on paper!!

 

The question is:

 

Describe how trees differ from other plants in their growth pattern (give some examples)

 

 

I am after a bit more than "some trees drop their leaves and some dont"

 

If anyone can help me out and come up with some suggestions, that would be great.

 

Thanks

You could explore the angle of the tree's permanence in the environment. I was thinking about something along the lines of them being on the extreme end of the K strategy range ie. devoting considerable resources to surviving from year to year. This would be opposed to the R strategists who embody the colonising species but do not remain in the same place as the habitat/community reaches maturity.

It's just another suggestion, good luck. Dee

As john said, compare dicotyledon to monocotyledon? different types of tree species, eg. poplar vascular system against sycamore?

I am student and I have thought about getting assignement help from here as everyone seems very clue'd up but as i then realised my tutors browse the forum, it seemed like a disastourous idea make sure they dont come on here and look at your assignemnts and reference them!

 

just be careful lol

Would there be much difference in gaining information or direction from this forum compared to gaining the same info from recommended texts, no one expected to know anything without finding out first.

If someone was having their assignments written for them by 'the forum' that would indeed be a different matter and I would agree with your valid point - but as far as I have witnessed, all the help that is given amounts to advice and support.

conifers use tracheids to transport water, where broadleaves use xylem and phloem

yeh totally if you then go onto to add to the information yourself then its inst a problem and even if you do get texts sent to you etc etc re write them in your own owrds it wouldnt be a problem I shouldnt imagine!
