11. Crop Plants: Derived from Wild Species via Artificial Selection ARTIFICIAL SELECTION CHANGES THE TRAITS OF DOMESTICATED SPECIES. Oil rich Less oil rich 1. Observe variation in kernel oil content. 2. Plant oil-rich seeds and grow to maturity. 3. Harvest kernels from mature plants. Repeat steps 1–3. 4. After many generations, kernel oil content increases.

13. Humans Have Relied on Plant-Based Fuels COAL FORMATION Peat 1. Dead plant material accumulates in marshy or boggy habitats. Plant-based fuels Pressure Pressure Sediments Coal 2. If oxygen in water is scarce, the organic matter decays only partially, forming peat. 3. If the peat deposits are later covered by sediments and compressed, the resulting pressure and heat change them into coal. What energy sources do you think will be important in the future? Wood Coal Petroleum and natural gas

Seedless vascular plants have vascular tissue but do not make seeds.
