TOMATO PLANT 1) Seed: Tomato seeds are small‚ flat and disk shaped and about 1/8 inch wide. They contain two energy storage organs called cotyledons and an embryo encased in a hard outer shell called the seed coat. The seed is the dormant or resting stage of the plant life cycle. When young tomato plants are damaged‚ they tend to go into a dormant‚ survival stage in which plant growth is delayed for a while. Frost damage is something to look out for when planting tomatoes early on in the season

between plants and people is made possible by the differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis. While cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms‚ photosynthesis relies on chlorophyll and is unique to plants‚ algae‚ and some bacteria. Respiration and photosynthesis are essentially the same process in reverse. During photosynthesis CO2 and H2O are converted to glucose and oxygen‚ while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen which are converted to CO2 and H20. Plants utilize

Internal Structure Of A Plant PLANT CELL STRUCTURE Plant cells are classed as eukaryotes organisms‚ because they have a membrane enclosed nuclei and organelles. Here is a diagram of a plant cell;  Cytoplasm Most chemical reactions take place here. It helps the cell maintain it’s shape. Nucleus The nucleus has two main roles. Firstly it contains all the cells genetic information. Secondly it coordinates the cell’s activities‚ which include growth‚ intermediary metabolism‚ protein synthesis

High School Sophomore Lesson Title: Plant Structure Next Generation Sunshine State Standards: Benchmark SC.912.L.14.7 - Relate the structure of each of the major plant organs and tissues to physiological processes. Rationale: Knowledge obtained in this lecture will serve as a stepping stone to aid students in future lectures‚ such as photosynthesis‚ plant cell structure‚ mitosis‚ etc. Knowledge of plant structure is useful to all people‚ as plants are a significant staple in our lives

Carnivorous Plants In a world where plants are at the bottom of the food-chain‚ some individual plant species have evolved ways to reverse the order we expect to find in nature. These insectivorous plants‚ as they are sometimes called‚ are the predators ‚ rather than the passive prey. Adaptations such as odiferous lures and trapping mechanisms have made it possible for these photosynthesizers to capture‚ chemically break-down and digest insect prey (and in some cases even small animals.) There

to be rather slow as very little growth could be observed. After the several days of being under the scorching sun the leaves of the tomato plants started to dry up and would fall off at the very touch of it. More water had to be added to them to further hydrate the plants. It was only after around 30 days that a concrete growth could be observed. The plants grew to a reasonable height and needed to be attached to a bamboo stick so as to remain stable. The growths of the tomatoes themselves were
Premium Soil Tomato Nutrient
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

SICK PLANTS Hypothesis: From my research‚ I think the plant in the solution containing all nutrients will have the fastest / most successful growth‚ and the control group / water solution will have the least growth as it doesn’t have any of its necessary nutrients. Variables: The independent variable will be the solution the plants are put in to begin with. All other conditions will be kept the same‚ such as temperature‚ sunlight‚ length of shoot‚ time space left. I will have a control group

Introduction: The purpose of the plant growth experiment was to test the affect of plant fertilizer during plant growth. The system we were working with allowed us to test the recommended amount and double the recommended amount of Miracle Grow in comparison to a control of an all natural growing plant. The plants we were testing were radishes We decided on testing the validity of Miracle Grow with radishes to determine if fertilizers are worth purchasing. Hypothesis: If the recommended amount

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive features include: A large central vacuole‚ a water-filled volume enclosed by a membrane known as the tonoplast maintains the cell’s turgor‚ controls movement of molecules between the cytosol and sap‚ stores useful material and digests waste proteins and organelles. A cell wall composed of cellulose and hemicellulose‚ pectin and in many cases lignin‚ is secreted by
