Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction The Philippines is primarily an agricultural country. Most of the citizens that still live in rural areas support themselves through agriculture. One of the four sub-sectors of agriculture is farming. Farming is one of the common forms of livelihood in the county. The rate of the crops produced here in the country shrank as of 1999 according to the Encyclopedia of Nations. One of the main reasons is the industrialization of farms. The farmers

thing made from another‚ leading to two organisms with the same set of genes. In that sense‚ identical twins are clones‚ because they have identical DNA. Sometimes‚ plants are self-pollinated‚ producing seeds and eventually more plants with the same genetic code. Some forests are made entirely of trees originating from one single plant; the original tree spread its roots‚ which later sprouted new trees. When earthworms are cut in half‚ they regenerate the missing parts of their bodies‚ leading to

Introduction: The purpose of the plant growth experiment was to test the affect of plant fertilizer during plant growth. The system we were working with allowed us to test the recommended amount and double the recommended amount of Miracle Grow in comparison to a control of an all natural growing plant. The plants we were testing were radishes We decided on testing the validity of Miracle Grow with radishes to determine if fertilizers are worth purchasing. Hypothesis: If the recommended amount

characteristics of all living organisms. The physiological definition of growth is “An irreversible change in the organism‚ organ or cell is called growth”‚ which includes increase in mass weight or volume of living organism‚ it leads to development in plants. REGION OF GROWTH: Growth region is located at extreme apices of root‚ stem‚ leaf where we make out meristematic tissue. In addition to above‚ the region where intercalary and lateral meristem is present is also considered as growth region. PHASES

High School Sophomore Lesson Title: Plant Structure Next Generation Sunshine State Standards: Benchmark SC.912.L.14.7 - Relate the structure of each of the major plant organs and tissues to physiological processes. Rationale: Knowledge obtained in this lecture will serve as a stepping stone to aid students in future lectures‚ such as photosynthesis‚ plant cell structure‚ mitosis‚ etc. Knowledge of plant structure is useful to all people‚ as plants are a significant staple in our lives

Diesel Power Plant Figure shows the arrangements of the engine and its auxiliaries in a diesel power plant. The major components of the plant are: a) Engine Engine is the heart of a diesel power plant. Engine is directly connected through a gear box to the generator. Generally two-stroke engines are used for power generation. Now a days‚ advanced super & turbo charged high speed engines are available for power production. b) Air supply system Air inlet is arranged outside

Title: Heat Treatment of Ferrous Objective: To determine the effect of heat treatment on mechanical properties of 1050 Steel. To reveal the microstructures of 1050 steel during heat treatments. Abstract In this experiment‚ we observed how the properties of plain carbon steel vary with the heat treatment condition. We prepared six different samples in three different heat treatment configurations and performed hardness tests on them by using the Rockwell tester and observed the microscopic

In the book "Guns‚ Germs‚ and Steel‚" Jared Diamond attempts to describe the history of mankind for the past 13‚000 years. In chapter 3‚ of this book‚ Diamond discusses the conquest of the New World by the Spanish. He goes into specific details of how Pizarro captures Atahuallpa‚ holds him hostage for 8 months and then‚ after receiving the ransom‚ from the Incas‚ had him executed. One of the questions that Diamond addresses is why the Spanish were successful in conquering the Incas‚ instead of
