Danielle Silverstein PHY 101 Section 10497 March 4‚ 2013 Light up this World Purpose: In this lab experiment‚ LED lights will be used to show how when E&M radiation is absorbed‚ the energy is converted to heat. A drop of isopropyl alcohol will absorb light energy of different colors‚ and the evaporation rate of the alcohol will be measured. The key to this lab is the evaporation rate is directly related to the energy of the light shining on the drop. Materials: * * LEDs

PLANT RESPONSES TROPISM is a biological phenomenon‚ indicating growth or turning movement of a biological organism‚ usually a plant‚ in response to an environmental stimulus. In tropisms‚ this response is dependent on the direction of the species. The word tropism comes from the Greek trope ("to turn" or "to change"). Tropisms are usually named for the stimulus involved and may be either positive (towards the stimulus) or negative (away from the stimulus). Phototropism is the growth response

surface of water and mud. Algae were evolving at the water’s edge‚ and one group – probably the charophytes – gave rise to plants. Cooksonia‚ a simple branching plant a few centimeters tall‚ evolved by 430 million years ago. It took another 160 million years for the taller Psilophyton to evolve. Then the evolutionary pace picked up. It took only 60 million years for plants radiate from the swampy lowlands to high mountains and nearly all places in between. They did so through modifications in

A world without plants Plants; probably the most ignored organism on this planet. People walk past plant and cut them down but nobody ever thinks about what they do for us‚ what the world would be if there was never any plants or photosynthetic organisms. If the world never had these organisms the world would be a desolate place. There would be no oxygen‚ atmosphere‚ or food. We inhale air unconsciously every day. By taking in air‚ we absorb oxygen and discharge carbon dioxide in the process of

Internal Structure Of A Plant PLANT CELL STRUCTURE Plant cells are classed as eukaryotes organisms‚ because they have a membrane enclosed nuclei and organelles. Here is a diagram of a plant cell;  Cytoplasm Most chemical reactions take place here. It helps the cell maintain it’s shape. Nucleus The nucleus has two main roles. Firstly it contains all the cells genetic information. Secondly it coordinates the cell’s activities‚ which include growth‚ intermediary metabolism‚ protein synthesis

Plant Tour Experience in Wyeth Philippines At Canlubang‚ Laguna Visiting a prestigious plant was a great experience. On that day the feeling of excitement was surrounding me. It was my first time having an educational tour. During the road trip everyone was enjoying talking and cracking some hilarious jokes and enjoying as if we were just a kid that was having a field trip. When we had arrived at Canlubang I was so excited to enter the plant because I was so curious about what was the inside

Telophase New membranes form around the daughter nuclei while the chromosomes disperse. These growth tissues are found principally in the roots‚ in the shoots and in the cambium. This experiment aims at observing cell multiplication in the root tip of a garlic root. Discussion The purpose of this practical was to observe and identify under the light microscope the stages of mitosis division (interphase‚ prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ telophase) by using tissue from root tips. The root tips were

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive features include: A large central vacuole‚ a water-filled volume enclosed by a membrane known as the tonoplast maintains the cell’s turgor‚ controls movement of molecules between the cytosol and sap‚ stores useful material and digests waste proteins and organelles. A cell wall composed of cellulose and hemicellulose‚ pectin and in many cases lignin‚ is secreted by

Introduction For the past 30 years Scientist have searched desperately for the answer to salt toleration within plants. The damaging effects of salt accumulation in agricultural soils have influenced both ancient and modern day civilizations alike. Worldwide‚ an estimated 24.7 million acres of once agriculturally productive land are being lost annually due to irrigation-induced salinity‚ according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Thus‚ crop production is limited by salinity on 40% of
