PLANT CELL Introduction Plant cell is the basic unit of structure and function in nearly all plants. The range of specialization and the character of association of plant cells are very wide. In the simplest plant forms a single cell constitutes a whole organism and carries out all the life functions. In just slightly more complex forms‚ cells are associated structurally‚ but each cell appears to carry out the fundamental life functions‚ although certain ones may be specialized

Aquatic plants: Fixed plants Fixed plants are held in place by their roots which grow in the water-bed. The Water Lily and Lotus are such plants. Their stems are long‚ hollow and light. These stems reach the surface of the water. The leaves and flowers‚ which grow from the top end of the stems‚ float upon the water. The leaves are broad with stomata on the top surface so that the water does not block them. Lotus The roots of lotus are planted in the soil of the pond or river bottom‚ while

Plants Desert Baobab Tree The baobab tree is the iconic tree of the African Sahara. It is readily recognized by its enormous trunk and‚ by comparison‚ scrawny stems and twigs. It is the source of many legends among the tribes of the area‚ and is also a rich source of traditional medicine. In a land where rainfall is limited and it is rare to find even tiny bushes‚ the gigantic baobab tree thrives. It is able to do so due to a number of unique adaptations that it has perfected over the course

LEAVES BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOTS? A. ELIZABETH ARNOLD1 AND F. 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 are unknown. To explore the putative hyperdiversity of tropical leaf endophytes‚ we compared endophyte communities along

Ryan Tudino Mrs. Couchon Biology Honors/ 1A 10 April 2013 Abstract 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

An ABC transporter is system that involves the use of a substrate binding protein and ATP. By combining these the substrate binding protein and ATP‚ the transporter is able to increase the concentration of the nutrient inside the cell‚ even if it is against the concentration gradient. When comparing the concentration of nutrient‚ the cytosol often has a higher concentration of nutrients compared to the periplasm and‚ possibly the environment (depending on how nutrient rich the environment is.

Introduction: Plants have adaptations to help them survive in harsh environments; Some live in a forests where plants have to find a way to get the sunlight they require‚ some live in an aquatic environments where there is an abundance of water‚ and some live in desert environments where it is dry and very hot. These plants have different adaptations such as leaf size‚ leaf surface‚ stem size‚ and their stress level. In this lab‚ we will be discussing plants from 3 different regions; forest‚ aquatic
