The Affect of Different Colored Light on Plant Growth Puprose: Just as we are happier and healthier when we receive adequate sunlight‚ so are the plants and vegetation that we grow. Sunlight‚ or other means of artificial lighting is essential to help a plant grow into maturity. It is also necessary in aiding the plant to get the nutrients it requires to mature into a strong healthy plant. The process of the sun or other light helping to feed the plant is called photosynthesis. The light acts

-How plants get liquid and minerals- Flowers absorb liquid through their roots‚ which are attached to xylem vessels. Xylem vessels are tubes that can expand through several feet of tissue and be .7mm in diameter. Their walls are thickened with cellulose deposits. Xylem bring water up to the leaves and petals of the plant. Even without contact with the roots‚ the xylem can still absorb water. Because of this‚ a cut flower usually doesn’t die for a couple days (as long as it is placed in water of

Amount of Water Effects Plant Growth By Dennis Marchuk Turner Ashby High School Grade 10 March 23‚ 2013 The purpose of this project was to determine how much the amount of water effected plant growth. This had been accomplished by taking three groups of plants and placing them next to one another. Each group contains two plants. Each one would be watered with a different amount of water. They would then be measured how much they grew. The growth of the three plants was compared. Hypothesis:

Botany Essay Questions 1. Pollination is a crucial process of how plants reproduce‚ in which the male sex cell of the flower‚ pollen‚ is transferred from the stamen to the carpel‚ or more specifically‚ from the anther to the stigma. Pollen grains are completely different and unique for each flower‚ they carry the male and female genetic information and it is split exactly 50/50. The transfer is carried out by pollinators‚ which include bees‚ wasps‚ flies‚ butterflies‚ moths‚ several species

Animal and Plant cells consist of most of the same cell types‚ but the whole shape of the cell is quite different. An animal cell is a round‚ uneven shape‚ whereas the Plant cell has an affixed shape. They have a more of a rectangular shape. Chloroplast‚ Vacuole and the Cell wall are only found in Plant cells. The Chloroplast is the organelle for the whole system of Photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are found in mesophyll cells (which are found in the leaves) of green plants. They convert light into

Plant Tissues A mature vascular plant (any plant other than mosses and liverworts)‚ contains several types of differentiated cells. These are grouped together in tissues. Some tissues contain only one type of cell. Some consist of several. Meristematic The main function of meristematic tissue is mitosis. The cells are small‚ thin-walled‚ with no central vacuole and no specialized features. Meristematic tissue is located in • the apical meristems at the growing points of roots and stems. • the
