    Ap Bio Plants

    Roots support photosynthesis and respiration by absorbing minerals and water and by storing organic nutrients. They also anchor the plant. Some roots have mycorrhizae, which increase the surface area and therefore increase the absorption. The endodermis, which is the innermost layer of cells in the root cortex, surrounds the vascular cylinder. It is the passage of minerals from the cortex into the vascular tissue.…

    Dicot Plants

    The seeds of summer squash (Cacurbita moschata), beet (Beta vulgaris), and pepper (Capsicum annuum) are all dicot plants, which mean that they have two seed leaves inside the seed coat. When they are placed in an environment and are watered with solutions of different acidic and alkaline levels, the root growth during germination is affected. The purpose of this experiment was to observe what type of substance, acidic or basic, increases the growth of roots during the germination process of Cacurbita moschata, Beta vulgaris, and Capsicum annuum. Previous research has shown that water with a rather neutral pH level of 7 is best for plant germination and growth and that pH levels more acidic or basic did not show much plant germination. The hypothesis was that if the acidity or alkalinity is varied in water to change the pH level, then the then the Cacurbita moschata, Beta vulgaris, and Capsicum annuum root length and plant growth will be less than the root length and plant growth of the seeds watered with the neutral pH of 7 because the intake of either OH- ions, if basic, or H+ ions, if acidic, will be increased, which diminishes the nutrients needed for a seedling to germinate. The hypothesis was tested by placing Cacurbita moschata, Beta vulgaris, and Capsicum annuum seedlings into petri dishes that were watered with lemon juice (pH 2), vinegar (pH 3), milk (pH 6), water (our control with a pH of 7), baking soda (pH 8), and milk of magnesia (pH 9.5). While the seedlings germinated in the petri dishes, root length was measured along with the day the seedling germinated. After the root lengths were gathered, they were analyzed and compared to each other to show what pH level expressed the best results. The significance of this study was to better understand how plant and vegetable seedlings tolerate various levels of water pH. Root length analysis showed that water with a rather neutral pH of…

    This is a mini-investigation and formal report. Take it seriously as a poorly executed report will reflect negatively on your grade regardless of the identification made. The report must be type written, including the trees. Please be aware of spelling, sentence structures, and grammar. Always capitalize genus and use only lowercase for species and italicize them. After the first use you may abbreviate the genus (E.G. 1st mention= Escherichia coli ( E. coli after it was spelled out once)…

    Flower and Angiosperms

    Angiosperms have a wide distribution in the biosphere and the largest number of species in the plant kingdom. An angiosperm is seed plant that produces flowers and fruits. Angiosperms are divided into monocots and eudicots. They are classified in Anthophyta. There are four structures for reproduction found in angiosperms. These structures include fruits, petals, stamen, and carpel. Fruits, which are the matured ovaries of plants helps to disperse the seeds of angiosperms. By being tasteful, more animals are attracted to the fruit therefore allowing the fruit to be dispersed. The petals of the flower attract pollinators, due to their appearance. Flowers have evolved to attract animals to transfer pollen between individuals in dispersed populations. Stamens are the male reproductive structure, they produce microspores in the anthers of a flower to produce pollen grains. Pollen is able to be transferred by wind due to its waterproof coating. The carpel of an angiosperm is the female reproductive structure, which produces female gametophytes with eggs. The carpel helps to create and ovule. The ovule protects the eggs and zygote, it is an a adaptation which increases reproductive fitness.…

    Blooms Taxonomy

    Throughout the past few decades sources of renewable energy have been widely discussed due to the harmful impacts fossil fuels have on the environment combined with fluctuating petroleum prices and our growing demand for an ever depleting resource (Fletcher et al. 2011). Over the coming decades it is predicted that there will be an increase in the use of bioenergy systems (McBride et al. 2011). Bioenergy is commonly believed by both policy makers and environmentalists to be one of the…

    Review of "Bedouin Ethnobotany"

    The author, James Mandaville, had worked in Eastern Saudi Arabia gathering plant names and plant-related terminology in the 1960’s. His work spewed out into his free time and he began gathering samples of the local plants and cataloging names extensively. The purpose of his ethnography was to shed light on the folk classifications of Bedouin Arabic plant lore; the report and devotion of the research performed by the author married the desert-adapted plants of Arabia and the people that followed them, believed in the cosmic connection to germination, named them, and depended on them for their livelihood for thousands of years.…
