Plants need water for photosynthesis but they take in water through their roots so they need to transport the water up the stem to the leaves. Water is taken in by the root hairs because there is a higher water potential in the soil than in the root hairs. Then osmosis occurs to move the water from a cell with high concentration of water to a cell with low concentration through the permeable membrane. Once the water has moved down the concentration gradient it reaches a vessel called a xylem. As

A population grows exponentially when it has all of the resources it needs and disease and predation do not occur. 3b. Exponential growth shows a “J shaped” curve because with each generation‚ the number

LOW PRESSURE: limited to a maximum working pressure of 15 psig (pound-force per square inch gauge) for steam and 160 psig for hot water A boiler is a closed vessel in which water or other fluid is heated

Plants and humans are perhaps the most important organisms‚ however‚ us humans‚ have caused the death of thousands of plants by starting fires and by cutting down trees for things such as paper and furniture. Plants make oxygen which is very important for our survival; we can’t live without it. In the year 2003 alone‚ 774500 acres of land‚ that contained not only threes but animals too‚ were burned in California (Jane Strong‚ 2003). Some of this land was burned due to natural fires but some of it

The direct effect of perceived ethical leadership on cooperative goal interdependence was estimated as significant when multicollinearity was not taken into consideration. Moreover‚ when added to the model the follower relational identification with the leader effect of ethical leadership on cooperative goal interdependence appears to be reduced

Some of the most bizarre and fascinating plants in the natural world are undoubtedly carnivorous plants. Carnivory‚ defined as the consumption of animal tissue‚ is often only associated with the animal kingdom. However the existence of carnivory is widespread and diverse in the plant and fungi kingdoms as well. Specifically carnivorous plants‚ which originally descended from exclusively photosynthetic plants‚ have evolved elaborate‚ efficient‚ and diverse methods to capture‚ digest‚ and metabolize

Plant palisade cells are cylinders 20 M wide and 35 M long. A) Calculate the volumes of each cells? A) Since E.Coli is cylindrical Volume of a cylinder = r2h‚ where r is half of bacterial width/diameter = 1M/2 = 0.5M and h is the length of the bacteria
