“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

between plants and people is made possible by the differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis. While cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms‚ photosynthesis relies on chlorophyll and is unique to plants‚ algae‚ and some bacteria. Respiration and photosynthesis are essentially the same process in reverse. During photosynthesis CO2 and H2O are converted to glucose and oxygen‚ while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen which are converted to CO2 and H20. Plants utilize

Radioactive Isotopes Radioactive Isotopes Medical isotopes are used in medicine in three distinct ways: 1. Radioactive isotopes can be injected into a patient‚ and their emitted energy can then be captured on film. The resulting image is an important diagnostic tool. 2. Gamma rays emitted from a radioactive source can be directed onto a tumour‚ destroying the cancerous cells. 3. Radioactive isotopes can be manufactured into drugs. Once injected into a patient‚ the drug will

What is a Plant Layout? Definition of Plant Layout Plant Layout is the physical arrangement of equipment and facilities within a Plant. The Plant Layout can be indicated on a floor plan showing the distances between different features of the plant. Optimizing the Layout of a Plant can improve productivity‚ safety and quality of Products. Uneccessary efforts of materials handling can be avoided when the Plant Layout is optimized. This is valid for: - Distances Material has to move - Distances

Role of mycorrhizas in the mineral nutrition of host plants Mycorrhizas are very important in the uptake of nutrients such as P‚ N‚ K‚ Cu‚ Zn and Ca by plants especially in soils low in these nutrients. Since P is the most limiting nutrient in tropical soils‚ mycorrhizas are vital for improving P nutrition particularly for cultivated plants. External hyphae can absorb and translocate P to the host from soil outside the root depletion zone. The thin mycorrhizal hyphae (2-4 μm in diameter) are able

Plant Hemoglobin Hemoglobin is a protein-iron compound found within the red blood cells of most vertebrates and is responsible for the cell’s red pigment. These red blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the tissue cells throughout the rest of the body. Just as hemoglobin transports oxygen in humans‚ they have also been found transporting oxygen within plants. In plants‚ there are two types of hemoglobin that can be found; symbiotic and non symbiotic. Oxygen is used

non-native plant in Southern California I research some information of Iris Pseudacorus which is commonly known as Yellowflag Iris. It is native to Europe‚ Western Asia‚ and northwest Africa. Especially‚ Pseudacours is one of two iris species native to British Island. It was brought to Canada and the U.S in the early 1900s in order to use as an erosion control plant such as used in sewage treatment cells. In recent decade‚ the plant is used in landscaping and sold through garden and plant dealers

Parts of plants Each part of a plant has a very important function. All plants produce flowers for the same reason: to make seeds so another plant can grow. Leaves: These are the parts of the plant where food is made by photosynthesis. Leaves take in carbon dioxide from the air‚ water from the soil‚ and energy from the sunlight. During photosynthesis‚ the leaves use light energy to change carbon dioxide and water into food. (sugar) Flowers: These are the reproductive parts of
