reproduction. Cuttings are taken from a mother plant in vegatative growth‚ and rooted in hydroponic medium to be grown as a separate plant. The offspring will be plants that are identical to the parent plant. Cloning preserves the character of your favorite plant. Cloning can make an ocean of green out of a single plant‚ so it is a powerful tool for growing large crops‚ and will fill a closet quickly with your favorite genetics. When you find the plant you want to be your "buddy" for the rest of your

2011 Plants and Nitrogen Lab Report Introduction: Plants need ammonia‚ a combination of nitrogen and hydrogen‚ or nitrate‚ a form of inorganic nitrogen to grow. Most nitrogen is found in the atmosphere. However‚ plants and animals cannot directly absorb the nitrogen found in the atmosphere. Instead nitrogen gas is captured from the air by species of bacteria that lie in the water‚ soil‚ or grow on the roots of some plants. These bacteria convert the nitrogen into a form usable by plants. The

The evolution of plants has resulted in increasing levels of complexity‚ from the earliest algal mats‚ through bryophytes‚ lycopods‚ ferns to the complex gymnosperms and angiosperms of today. While the groups which appeared earlier continue to thrive‚ especially in the environments in which they evolved‚ each new grade of organisation has eventually become more "successful" than its predecessors by most measures. Probably an algal scum formed on land 1‚200 million years ago. In the Ordovician period

Fertilizers are essential in plant growth due to the lack of some nutrients in the soil. They contain three distinct categories which are the primary nutrients‚ secondary nutrients and metals. (hazri). In order for a plant to develop growth‚ the basic needs of carbon (C)‚ hydrogen (H)‚ and oxygen (O) are required which are available in the air and water. Also‚ a boost of macronutrients are also essential for plant growth which are obtainable from chemical fertilizers mainly nitrogen (N)‚ phosphate

Plants have two different ways to reproduce. The first one is vegetative reproduction. With this type all the plants that have the same parent have the same genetic make-up. This also lets plants pass adaptations on that they have abtained over the years. Plants with good genetic make-up usually spread quickly and take over an area. An example of this would be the dandelion. These plants can sprout from any part of the plant. An example of this is the potato‚ farmers will pick the potatoes and cut

INSECTIVOROUS PLANTS An insectivorous plant‚ also called a carnivorous plant‚ captures prey items‚ such as insects‚ spiders‚ crustaceans‚ mites‚ and protozoans‚ as a nitrogen source. Many insectivorous species live in freshwater bogs‚ where nitrogen is not present in available form‚ because the pH of the water is extremely acid. The forms of entrapment by these types of plants are modified leaves. Five basic trapping mechanisms are found in carnivorous plants. 1. Pitfall traps (pitcher plants) trap prey

“The Private Life of Plants: Traveling” was a useful documentary to help clarify my understanding on how plants manage to spread their seeds and germinate. I enjoyed watching the different time lapses for the species of plants and it helped me to see exactly what happens rather than reading it in a book or seeing a simple picture. I was amazed at all the different mechanisms plants used to travel around and not stick to just one area. I did not expect the pointy spines of plants to allow them to grip
