1.) Roots support photosynthesis and respiration by absorbing minerals and water and by storing organic nutrients. They also anchor the plant. Some roots have mycorrhizae‚ which increase the surface area and therefore increase the absorption. The endodermis‚ which is the innermost layer of cells in the root cortex‚ surrounds the vascular cylinder. It is the passage of minerals from the cortex into the vascular tissue. The stem has a system of nodes where leaves are attached. They have a waxy

Review Questions 3. Animals benefit from the relationship with plants because they are able to get rewards such as pollen and nectar. With these they have the ability to continue on with their daily work. Applying Your Knowledge 1. The rise in prominence of one major group does not necessarily result in the total replacement of a previously dominant group because one group may work better in the part than the other group. Gymnosperms for example produce excess amount of pollen‚ they are

my aunt’s turn and when we went to eat the mashed potatoes they were super salty. After thanksgiving dinner that year I became interested in figuring out how the using the same recipes the outcome could be so different. Background Information: Osmosis is the of a solvent across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. The water being the solvent can move across the membrane but the salt

Diffusion through a Membrane Introduction Molecules are constantly moving. They move in straight lines unless they are deflected by other molecules or obstacles in their environment. Diffusion is the process by which the collisions between molecules cause them to continually spread apart from each other. Their movement can be described as movement from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion continues until the molecules are equally distributed

Peter Dang Mrs. Truesdell AP Biology Period 5 2 October 2013 CHAPTER 7 STUDY GUIDE AN OVERVIEW OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS Autotrophs are plants that can feed themselves by making their own food. Photo-autotrophs are organisms that produce organic molecules from inorganic molecules using the energy of light. Producers are when plants make their own organic molecules. A redox reaction is oxidation and reduction. Photosynthesis takes water and carbon dioxide to make glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration

Osmosis and the Egg Lab Report By: N. Mullins Date: January 20‚ 2011 Introduction This lab was designed to explain the different things osmosis does. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi permeable membrane. Over three days we tested the egg in three different solutions to observe the changes. On Day 1‚ the main question we answered was what happened to the egg when it was placed in vinegar? Before doing this I came to my hypothesis was that the vinegar would eat away at the shell and eventually
