Aechmea fasciata: A plant analyzed Meaning spear tipped‚ in Greek. Its common name is Silver Vase. It is called Silver Vase because it sort of looks like a silver vase with a spiny pink flower. From the family Bromeliaceae. Although the Aechmea fasciata is a widely used house plant the most popular bromeliad is the Pineapple. Some bromeliads‚ such as Aechmea fasciata‚ are epiphytic meaning they grow on other plants. A true epiphyte is a plant driven by demands for light or moisture to seek a perch

her head up as she fights through the sickness. She sadly explains to Sue‚ “‘When the last [leaf] falls‚ I must go‚ too’” (Henry 2). Johnsy becomes so attached to the vine full of leaves that she starts seeing her own life in the life span of the plant. However‚ when the leaves start to fall off‚ she feels as if her life is dwindling‚ too. The main character wouldn’t feel this way if she didn’t have pneumonia‚ but because she is terminally ill her emotions are bundled up with the vine. Johnsy explains

through the air in a v-formation‚ wings waiving in unison‚ intuitively flying south for the winter. I continue walking‚ following the grassy trail as it winds through a field of yucca plants with stiff‚ pointed leaves resembling pineapple tops. Wild purple flowers with yellow centers grow intermittently around the plants as if to bring a little color to the dryness of the landscape. I pause as a butterfly with large yellow and blue wings flutters from flower to flower‚ collecting pollen that the colorful

write a lab report Bio Lab 113 1/23/14 I. Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to see what affect light has on the germination of pinto beans. Introduction: Farming corps is the most important process for the survival of human race. The plants not only provide food for our bodies but it also helps provide the oxygen we breathe. They clean the air in a process called photosynthesis. This experiment tests if pinto bean seeds germinate better if they get more direct morning sun light‚ afternoon

Separation and Identification of Plant Pigments by Paper Chromatography Biology 1107L Introduction All living organisms require energy for their chemical processes. The ultimate source of this energy is the sun. Plants convert light energy into the chemical energy of sugars. During photosynthesis pigments are used to capture light energy. Pigments of green plants can easily be separated and identified using a technique called paper chromatography. The purpose of this

Effects of Plant Nutrient Deficiency Abstract This experiment aimed to determine the effects of nutrient deficiency on plants. This was done by examining tomato plants grown in a medium that contained all the nutrients needed to survive and comparing those results to plants that were grown in nutrient deficient mediums. The biomass and standard chlorophyll content were the focus of the experiment. The biomass was measured by taking the mass of the plant. The standard chlorophyll content was

Introduction Plants are some of the most important organisms on earth. They perform a multitude of services that keep ecosystem functioning. Plants provide us with food‚ medicine‚ and they perform photosynthesis which converts carbon dioxide into oxygen and in so doing remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ provide us with many everyday products and are very beautiful to look at. (Morgan 2009) Plants provide us with energy through food Food provides humans with energy that allows us to

Fast Plants Material and Methods When first preparing our fast plants we had to set up four different systems that would dictate our variable of fluorescent light. Each system would provide light to our fast plants for different amounts of time per day. Our systems were set up for 0 hours of light‚ 6 hours of light‚ 12 hours of light‚ and 24 hours of light. To setup the lab we began to setup our lighting system with fluorescent a timer for each set of fast plants. Our 24 hours was set up in

Experimental Plant Variety In order to have a suitable variety of plant types to successfully complete this experiment‚ plant types that contained recognizable traits and that would not easily be pollinated by foreign pollen were chosen. Finding a plant variety with such characteristics allowed better control over the experiment. Twenty-two varieties of pea plants were chosen by first trialing thirty-four varieties. For two years‚ only self-pollination was allowed for each of these thirty-four plant varieties
