INTRODUCTION Those plants that have healing properties are termed as medicinal plants or herbs. The plant kingdom is divided into several groups‚ but the botanical classification is beyond the scope of this section. However‚ medicinal plants can be simply classified as trees‚ shrubs‚ woody perennials‚ annuals and biennials‚ and climbers.

a schoo Chapter 35 The Plant Body 1. Describe and compare the three basic organs of vascular plants. Explain how these basic organs are interdependent. The three basic organs of a vascular plant are the stems‚ leaves‚ and roots. The stems consist of nodes‚ where leaves attach‚ and internodes between the nodes. The stem is responsible for elongation of the plant and acts as a central axis for other organs to attach to. The roots help to anchor the plant as well as absorb water and nutrients

Sundew plant Sundew are a kind of carnivorous plant. The leaves of sundews are covered with "tentacles". sundew is found throughout all parts of the world. Its greatest concentrations are in Australia and South Africa‚ making them the largest group of carnivorous plants. They have a long-ish head that’s parallel to the ground with small sticky red balls. The insect sticks to the balls and the head curls up to eat it. Besides those there are also some ones in which the heads are the shape of

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

political transformation process was speeded up. In my opinions‚ the resumption of sovereignty did help Hong Kong move towards the process of political modernization. To explain why the turning back of Hong Kong could boost the political progress in our city‚ we should first know what is the definition of political modernization. Politically‚ modernization is the progress from despotism to democracy. All political reforms are aspired to fulfill people’s pursuit for freedom and equality‚ basic human rights

Period G Interspecific and Intraspecific Plant Competition Abstract A study was conducted to address the problem of interspecific and intraspecific competition among wheat and mustard plants. It was hypothesized that increasing the plant density‚ and therefore increasing intraspecific competition‚ would negatively impact the plant biomass. It was also hypothesized that interspecific competition would have a stronger negative effect on the plant biomasses. This was tested by planting varying

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

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
