Lab Report: Understanding Photosynthesis Gen Biology Lab Abstract: This lab was called photosynthesis: understanding photosynthesis. It is a highly complex process that needs to be broken down in many steps to understand how it works. This lab covers the big components in photosynthesis including carbon dioxide intake‚ light consumption‚ and varying pigmentation. Introduction: Photosynthesis is a huge concept to learn and understand in the field of biology. Plants have their own special

Biology Exam 2013 - Review UNIT: PATERNS OF INHERITENCE Describe Mendel’s experiments: * Chose a female parent; chooses a male parent; pollen is collected from the stamens and dusted onto the female parent stigma; pollen fertilizes the eggs. The ovary develops into the pod and eggs develop into the peas; when peas are planted they develop into pea plants. Why Pea Plants? * Easily obtained * Grown quickly; several generation of peas can be observed * Traits are easily visible

-The layers of different plant tissues were then drawn on paper with accurate portion of each layer to each other. RESULTS/OBSERVATIONS: *REFER TO PAGE 2 FOR DRAWING OF THE LAYERS OF DIFFERENT TISSUES IN THE ROOT‚ THAT IS‚ THE TISSUE MAP OF THE DICOT. ROOT. DISCUSSION: The root system of a flowering plant begins its development from the hypocotyl of the embryo of the seed which give rise to the primary roots. Roots generally grow downwards into the soil (positive geotropic). Roots do not bear

Mediterranean Scrub Introduction: Regions of Mediterranean-type climate occur roughly between 30° and 40° latitude on the west coasts of continents‚ where offshore there are cold ocean currents. Each region in which the Mediterranean shrublands and woodlands occur is island-like in character and thus there is frequently a high degree of endemism. Comparative studies of the several regional expressions of this biome reveal interesting examples of convergent evolution in plant families and birds (but
