Journal Entry BIO 111 Eva Savard
The sugar maple tree, “Acer saccharum”, is part of the soapberry family, among the Eudicots. It is a flowering and seed plant, in the group of the vascular plants which are part of the land plants. All our observed species are green plants, which means they are capable of photosynthesis; they convert light energy into chemical energy to fuel their organism’s activity. Moreover, the sugar maple has a unique adaptation; its seeds are shaped with paper-like wings, parallels to each other, that allow them to travel further away, with the help of the wind.
