Anatomy of Flowering Plants Tissues A tissue is a group of cells having a common origin and usually performing a common function. Based on cell’s capability to divide‚ tissues are classified into two main groups which are as follows: 1. Meristematic and 2. Permanent tissues. Meristematic Tissues: Cells in the meristematic tissue are capable of dividing. Meristematic tissues are found in those regions which need to grow continuously. For example‚ root tips and stem tips contain meristematic

Response to stimuli: all lives can respond to internal or external stimuli Homeostasis: all lives have the ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment—self-regulation

Process of Diffusion and its importance in living organisms Diffusion is the movement of molecules or ions down a concentration gradient i.e. from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. For a diffusion system to be efficient‚ it should have a large surface area so that high amount of substances can be exchanged at a time. It should also have a thin membrane and a continuous supply of substances‚ as a thin membrane means that the diffusion pathway would be short‚ and the continuous

All organisms on earth depend on photosynthesis‚ in which light energy is used to make sugar and other food molecules from carbon dioxide and water. For example‚ plants and other photo-synthesizers need only energy from sunlight‚ carbon dioxide from air‚ and water from the soil to make the sugar glucose. Photosynthesis is the most important chemical process on earth because it provides food for virtually all organisms‚ not only for photo-synthesizers but for the organisms that eat them. Plants can

respiration has glucose and Oxygen. But they both use ATP‚ NADH‚ and NADPH. Also they both covert energy to usable energy. Different place they work in. Cellular respiration happens in or near the mitochondria. Photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast of a plant. But they both can be performed in plants. And materials produced in one process are used in the other. And they both work in different types of organisms. The different times they occur Photosynthesis only happen in daylight

Carotenoids These pigments primarily absorb in the blue wavelengths‚ allowing the longer wavelengths to be scattered and producing the yellow color. In autumn foliage‚ the carotenoids are left over in the chloroplasts and revealed from the loss of chlorophyll.

1. How does a cell become differentiated? A cell becomes differentiated by using only the DNA that it needs. 2. Give an example of 2 differentiated cells. Two examples of differentiated cells are lysosomes and mitochondria. Lysosomes are small so they can move throughout the cell effectively. Mitochondria have a lot of surface area to make more energy 3. (Essay) What does it mean to be specialized? Explain how the structure of the cell determines its function. Give at least 3 examples. Being specialized
