Different methods of transpiration… Water uptake from the soil: Plant roots are surrounded by soil particles. The outmost layer of cells (the epidermis) contains root hair cells that increase the surface area of the root These cells absorb minerals from the soil by active transport using ATP for energy The minerals reduced the water potential of the cell cytoplasm; this makes the water potential in the cell lower than that in the soil. Movement across a root: The movement of water across the

Lab Report: Scientific Method Your Name: Alyssa Melincoff Purpose of this Lab What is the goal of this lab? What question is it trying to answer‚ or what problem is it trying to explain? To find out how table salt affects the boiling temperature of water. Hypothesis After reading the lab instructions - but before starting the lab - record your best “educated guess” about what will happen in the experiment. What hypothesis can you generate about the effect of adding salt to water? Adding

Some of you have been asking for clarification regarding your optional use of the MSAF‚ the student self-reporting absence form. As you may know‚ this is allowance that you are permitted to use once per term to address temporary illnesses and deadline pressures. The allowance provided is generally five days‚ but faculty are asked to specify how the MSAF is to be applied in their particular course. Here are my guidelines: For all other more serious illnesses and absences‚ you would follow the

Shannon Yeh October 28‚ 2013 Animal Dentition Laboratory Assignment (Figure 1.) Tooth Sharpness (degrees) (Figure 2.) Relative Tooth Width (mm.) Results: The dental formula is a convention used by mammalogists to determine the tooth number and tooth arrangements. The dental formula is calculated by counting the number of incisors‚ canines‚ premolars‚ and molars present in the upper jaw (one side) and counting the number of incisors‚ canines‚ premolars‚ and molars

What are the central ideas of Cells? • What are cells? – Cells are the smallest basic unit of living things. • What do they do? – Cells take in raw materials and making new substances. • Why do they do this? – In cells‚ organelles carry out activities to keep the organism alive. – E.g. synthesising proteins and fats‚ releasing energy from glucose. What are the central ideas of Movement of Substances? • What processes describe how substances move from one region to another? –

Adaptation Definition: Adaptation is the process of how organisms develop special structures and internal processes to enable them to live in their environment. Definition: Adaptation is the process of how organisms develop special structures and internal processes to enable them to live in their environment. Organisms can be adapted in two ways: 1. Body structure (e.g. Small ears to reduce heat loss) 2. Body processes (e.g. Osmoregulation in salmon) There are several factors which

CELL DIVISION Important Formula #1 In case of animal cells‚ cytokinesis takes place through cell furrow (centripetal). Cytokinesis takes place in plants by the formation of cell plate (centrifugal). Important Formula #2 Meiosis causes reduction chromosome number‚ so it is also known as reduction division. CELL RESPIRATION Important Formula #1 For oxidative phosphorylation‚ 2.5 ATP are produced per NADH and 1.5ATP per FADH2. (Approx.) Important Formula #2 Non-germinating live seeds and
