Hypothesis: I predict that the leaves taken from the outer area of a shrub have a higher stomatal index (/density) than those taken from the centre of a shrub this are due to light levels. Explanation: Plants have stomata to obtain carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and remove oxygen produced in photosynthesis. During photosynthesis the chloroplasts in the leaf cells synthesize as a result of exposure to light‚ while oxygen is produced as a by-product. As the outer leafs are exposed to higher light

Genetic Traits Exercise: Introduction: The pioneer of modern day genetics was an Austrian Monk named Gregor Mendel‚ who established the basic laws of heredity from his studies with pea plants in the late 1800s. Mendel’s fundamental genetic principles may be applied to a variety of traits from many different organisms. Each genetic trait‚ such as flower color‚ is regulated by a pair of genes called alleles. These alleles are found at particular places on the chromosomes called loci. During meiosis

Unit 5 Case Study Mariella Hines is a 9 year-old African-American girl attending the 3rd grade in the JFK School. She was referred to the School Psychologist because she has recently become very withdrawn during class‚ refusing to speak to anyone‚ including her teacher and peers. Previously she seemed to have age-appropriate social skills‚ interacting well at school. Her withdrawal started suddenly. Mariella’s teacher‚ Mrs. Levine‚ called Mariella’s mother to find out more information‚ but her

Study Questions: Chapter 28 1.) Archaea and Bacteria are the oldest‚ structurally simplest and most abundant forms of life. 2.) Name and describe seven ways in which prokaryotes differ substantially from eukaryotes? Unicellularity- fundamentally single-celled Cell Size- can vary (large range changes with species) Nucleoid- lack a membrane-bound nucleus but rather a nucleoid region Cell Division/Genetic Recombination- binary fission (does not use spindle) and do not have a sexual cycle Internal

Determining the Solute Concentration of a Potato Aim: In this investigation I am going to work out the sugar concentration of a potato. I aim to find this out by putting potato cores into various concentrations‚ measuring the mass before and after. Due to osmosis the potato cores will change in mass to make the concentrations at an isotonic level‚ helping us to work out the mass of the potato. I predict that potato in the weaker solutions will gain mass‚ because some water will be absorbed by the

Extended experimental investigation: effects on membranes of environmental stress Background It is not possible to observe membranes directly‚ so this investigation is an indirect study of the effects of different substances and treatments on living beetroot cells. Beetroot cells have been chosen for this activity because each beetroot cell has a large central vacuole bounded by a membrane (Figure 1). Contained in the vacuole is the red pigment anthocyanin‚ which gives the beetroot its

# 49 Diet The food an animal eat everyday is called diet. Most animals need 7 types of nutrients in their diet: carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ fats + water‚ fibre‚ vitamins‚ minerals. The amount of energy needed is provided mainly by our carbohydrate and fat intake. Your dietary requirements depend on your age‚ sex and activity. - Age: The energy demand increases until we stop growing. While children are growing they need more protein per kilogram of body weight than adults do. - Sex: Generally

Dry Wallum The dry wallum is a harsh environment that is battered by the sun and wind every day and with a base of porous sand; water availability is very scarce and must be conserved. The abiotic factors in the dry wallum are that the area is exposed to high amounts of sunlight which causes a loss of water in the leaves through transpiration. Since the wallum is so dry and hot; bush fires play a major cycle in the dry wallum which the trees have adapted to cope with. The roots of the plant and
