This can be controlled by having a fixed amount of sodium hydrogen carbonate solution in the test tube. The temperature needs to be controlled at higher temperatures the rate of reaction speeds up. It will be controlled by putting the plant in a water bath to maintain the same temperature Water is needed for photosynthesis because the elements are needed

INTRODUCTION According to Oxford Dictionary‚ biodiversity means the state of having a large amount of different number of animals and plants which make a balanced environment. Biodiversity is also known as flora and fauna. The meaning of flora is all the plants growing in a particular area while fauna means all the animals of an area or a period of time. Rafflessia for flora while tiger for fauna is a case in point. Crisis on the other hand means a time of great danger or difficulty‚ the moment

mushroom? A mushroom is the fruit of the mushroom plant‚ like the apple of an apple tree. The body of the mushroom in called mycelium and its individual parts are microscopic. Since the body of the mushroom is usually dispersed over a relatively large area‚ it is rarely noticed. In nature‚ some species of mushrooms may have a body that spreads over hundreds of square miles. Mushrooms are fungi‚ and are usually placed in a kingdom of their own apart from plants and animals. Mushrooms contain no chlorophyll

I love the ‘highs’ from smoking marijuana‚ and last but not least‚ I love how I can function while ‘high’.

If you were of the opinion that cultivated plants and domesticated animals is what wildlife consists of‚ you are mistaken. Wildlife‚ in fact‚ comprises of the innumerous varieties of wild plants‚ animals‚ fungi and microorganisms that exist on our planet earth‚ rather than just cultivated plants and domesticated animals. Knowingly or unknowingly‚ we largely depend on this wildlife for every elementary requirement in our life. The food we eat‚ the clothes we wear‚ the medicines we consume‚ a variety

energy from the sun in to a chemical energy‚ a carbohydrate known as glucose. Only plants are able to use this process to make their own food. This chemical reaction takes place in Chloroplasts‚ cells that are found in any green part of the plant. Chloroplasts are in green fragments of the plants because it contains a green pigment called chlorophyll. Although Photosynthesis can occur in any green portion of a plant‚ it mostly occurs in the leaf. Chloroplasts are primarily located in the cells of

ever existed since the beginning of time‚ 98% of them are extinct (Facts). There are an estimated 5-10 million species that exist currently and only 1.5 million have been identified (Sherry‚ 2). Scientists classify species into six different groups: plants‚ animals‚ insects‚ algae‚ fungi‚ and microorganisms (Today’s Situation). In the tropical rainforest alone‚ most species are disappearing at the rate of 1% a year (Sherry‚ 6). If the current trend continues‚ at least 50% of all currently existing species

But by far‚ the greatest source of dyes has been the plant kingdom‚ notably from their roots‚ bark‚ leaves‚ wood and their berries.

the DSV and garlic mustard are a danger to the native grasses and plants. DSV disrupts the food webs and breeding patterns of the monarch butterfly and put the species at risk (Mattila and Otis 2003). Other invasive species can introduce disease and parasites which can kill the native plants and fauna‚ and thereby decreasing the biodiversity of the region (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources 2011).
