Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Introduction We see plants all around‚ every day. We have been thinking how water travels through plant stems we do some studying and surfing in the internet we learned that water travel by absorbing through the roots and travelling through the plants’ vascular system. Surface tension and pressure help the water move its way through the plant. Statement of the problem 1. How many grams of

Introduction Ecosystem is similar to a community. It consists of species‚ living organisms and the abiotic factors‚ their habitat. Living organisms includes animals‚ plants‚ insects‚ micro-organisms. For their habitat‚ they are the non-living nature which are soil‚ sunlight‚ water‚ precipitation. There are two types of ecosystem. Terrestrial ecosystem which is on the land and aquatic ecosystem which is under the water. Over-breeding is the increase of offspring of a species to a excessive number

This new vegitation helps feed the animals that live within the forest‚ the small newly grown plants are both healthy for the large animals such as deer and stouts as well as it is providing food for the smaller occupants like mice and other small mammals. And because those herbivores get new

Based off the results from this lab the student was able to determine and have an overall better understanding of the variables that affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. The first variable the student tested in the lab was 30cm of light with CO2 present. The student started this trial with all 10-leaf disks and timed how many leaf disks came up every minute for 15 minutes. One minute into the trial and the student recorded that no leaf disks had yet to rise to the top of the solution. At
