LUTZONI Department of Biology‚ Duke University‚ Durham‚ North Carolina 27708 USA Abstract. Fungal endophytes are found in asymptomatic photosynthetic tissues of all major lineages of land plants. The ubiquity of these cryptic symbionts is clear‚ but the scale of their diversity‚ host range‚ and geographic distributions

With the conquest ended in Italy‚ Rome encountered an international maritime power of Carthage‚ which was a leading power in the western Mediterranean whose base was in northern Africa. Eventually‚ these two powers would clash in what is known as the Punic wars. In this paper‚ we trace their rivalries‚ wars and ultimate dominance of one over the other. According to Morey W.C‚ Rome and Carthage emerged as competing for naval and economic powers on opposite sides of the Mediterranean

Colour of Light Effects on Plant Growth Introduction Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. Plants need water‚ Co2 and light energy to create sugar. Photosynthesis occurs mainly in leaves and in 2 phases: light reaction and dark reaction. The light reactions converts light energy to chemical (Biology.clc.uc.edu‚ 2014). This chemical reaction must take place in the thylakoid membrane. Chlorophyll (the green pigment involved

growth rate of plants in different ways. These properties may be the wavelength of the music‚ its frequency or even its tempo. According to a study conducted by Margaret E. Collins and John E. K. Foreman‚ entitled The Effect of Sound on the growth rate of plants (2001)‚ plants growth is directly affected by sounds of varying frequencies. They observed that when plants are exposed to pure tones‚ it affects the growth of the plant. This was due to the transverse wave which results to the increase of transpiration

The Effects of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis Aim: To investigate the effects of light intensity on photosynthesis. Background: Photosynthesis is a process that plants undergo to produce glucose. The plant then uses the glucose to produce energy which the plant needs to sustain life. The chemical formula for photosynthesis is: Sunlight 6CO2 +6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Chlorophyll The plant requires light‚ carbon dioxide and

Technology is everywhere went wined in almost every part of our lives it affects a lot of things like how we shop‚ socialize connect‚ play and the most important one is learning. With it increasing without it we wouldn’t be able to create more jobs for people and this is the betterment of our society help us when we get lost when we need to eat and for many

What is the Effect of the Colour of Light on the Rate of Photosynthesis? By Amelia Rowan‚ 12SDa Aim To discover whether the colour of the light source has any effect on the rate of photosynthesis of a sample of algae. Hypothesis It was predicted that the colour of the light source would have a very slight effect on the rate of photosynthesis. It was further predicted that when the sample was placed under the green light‚ the rate of photosynthesis would be the lowest. This hypothesis was arrived

2014 Experiment 4: Extraction and Chromatic Separation of Plant Pigments from Tomato Paste ABSTRACT In column chromatography a mixture is dissolved in a solvent and poured over a column of solid adsorbent then eluted with the same or a different solvent. This method is often used for preparative purposes; when a relatively large amount of the mixture and the components need to be isolated. The two main pigments in tomato paste mixture are the yellow-orange β-carotene and the red lycopene

one can determine how photosynthesis is impacted by light intensity through the experimentation on ivy leaf disks in a bicarbonate solution. The function of the sodium bicarbonate in this experiment was to provide a sufficient amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) for the photosynthesis process to occur. Without CO2 or any of the other necessary reactants‚ glucose nor oxygen cannot be produced. The leaves rise and sink due to photosynthesis occurring in the plant cells. As the carbon from the sodium bicarbonate
