Thursday‚ October 4th‚ 2012 Tuesday‚ October 9th‚ 2012 Comparing Plant and Animal Cells Abstract The purpose of our lab was to have a better understanding of what are the differences between animal cells and plant cells. Although the cell is the basic unit in both living beings they are not completely alike. For that I have examined and compared human cheek cells to Elodea leaf cells. First‚ I’ve scraped the inside of my cheek with the end of a swab stick to collect the cells then I’ve prepared

6. Anatomy of Flowering Plants Tissue It is a group of cells that are similar in structure and are organised together to perform a specific function. It is of two types: Meristematic tissues and Permanent tissues Meristematic tissue It consists of actively dividing cells that are found in those regions of the plant body that show growth. The examples include root tip‚ shoot tip‚ and base of the leaves. It is classified into three types: i. Apical meristem: They are present in

Experiment 5 Analysis of Plant Pigment Purpose: Chromatography is used for separation. In this case the separation of plant pigments. After placing the plant sample in the column the separation will be easy to see and the samples will be analyzed using VIS spectrophotometry. This is used to isolate and identify the different lipids causing the different pigmentations. Introduction: Lipids are chemically diverse substances found in cells. Lipids are water-insoluble‚ structural components

What is intensive plant production? Well it is formally known as intensive agriculture. It is an ‘Agricultural production system characterised by the high inputs of capital or labour relative to land area’ [http://www.uwa.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/92619/Yan_PPS_Workshop.pdf]. It mainly focuses on produces with the highest amount of value. Around the world‚ intensive agriculture is needed and in the entire generality of agriculture‚ intensive agriculture takes up about 37%‚ specialising in

Plants need water for photosynthesis but they take in water through their roots so they need to transport the water up the stem to the leaves. Water is taken in by the root hairs because there is a higher water potential in the soil than in the root hairs. Then osmosis occurs to move the water from a cell with high concentration of water to a cell with low concentration through the permeable membrane. Once the water has moved down the concentration gradient it reaches a vessel called a xylem. As

In this investigation‚ each bag of candy represents a different habitat. Each color represents a different plant in the habitat. Materials: Notebook paper 1 small bag of fruit candies 1 small bag of chocolate candies 2 dishes or plastic containers Procedures: 1. Pour each bag of candy into a separate container or dish so you can see all the colors

sludge is further treated in ’sludge digesters’: large heated tanks in which its chemical decomposition is catalysed by microorganisms. The sludge is largely converted to ’biogas’‚ a mixture of CH4 and CO2‚ which is used to generate electricity for the plant. The liquid is treated by bacteria which break down the organic matter remaining in solution. It is then sent to oxidation ponds where heterotrophic bacteria continue the breakdown of the organics and solar UV light destroys the harmful bacteria. The

The AB Steel Plant The Vice President for Production at the AB Steel Plant was giving the Production Department Manager‚ Mr. Singh‚ a hard time for not doing anything about his work group which was perpetually coming late to work and was behind schedule in the performance quotas for several months now. The vice President’s contention was that if the production’ crew was consistently tardy‚ the production process was delayed by about 15 minutes on an average per member per day‚ and this was no
