What is Soil? Soil is the surface of the earth’s crust where plants have their roots and where many small animals make their home. It is also a result of the breakdown of rocks. Formation of Soil Soil is formed when rocks break down into very small particles by various processes such as weathering. There are two types of weathering: Physical Weathering and Chemical Weathering. Physical Weathering arises from the heating and cooling‚ the wetting and drying‚ and the freezing and

Plants are not able to move from one spot to another on their own. They developed a way to make sure that their seeds are taken far away from them. If seeds start to develop close to the parent plant‚ the young plant would not receive enough

interdependent. The plant and animal life is effected by various environmental factors and in turn they modify their environment in various ways. The main theme of ecological studies is the relationship between organisms and environment‚ so ecology may well be called as "Environmental Biology." Growth‚ development and destruction of all organisms is determined by physical and biological conditions‚ their extremes and their interactions. Environment determines the destiny of a living organism. Plants growing

The facts cited herein are generally verifiable in the Encyclopaedia Britannica‚ which was printed primarily on paper produced with cannabis hemp for over 150 years. However‚ any encyclopedia (no matter how old) or good dictionary will do for general verification purposes. From more than 1‚000 years before the time of Christ until 1883 A.D.‚ cannabis hemp‚ indeed‚ marijuana was our planetís largest agricultural crop and most important industry‚ involving thousands of products and enterprises;

Introduction: We observe growth movements among plants in our daily life. Growth movements are curvature movements caused by differential or unequal growth in plant organs‚ which results in their bending in the direction of a particular stimuli‚ for instance light. Such movements which are induced by external stimuli are called trophic movements. A trophic movement of plant organs in response to the source of light is known as Phototropism. The stem grows towards the direction of light‚ and is

SC235 General Biology House Plant Experiment Do Water Solutions Effect Growth? Hanna Gallant For this assignment I have chosen to look at the Salvia plant. I like house plants better because it brightens up my home and I feel they require somewhat less work than my outside garden does and I can more closely monitor them for pests‚ disease and other issues that may arise. I chose the Salvia plant because it is a fairly common house plant that is easy to care for and produces wonderful blooms

The plants used in this experiment are called Wisconsin fast plants‚ due to their extremely short life cycle. In just 40 days‚ the plants germinate‚ grow‚ flower‚ and die‚ which makes them convenient to study in classroom experiments. They are members of the crucifer family and are related to other plants like broccoli and cabbage. In this experiment‚ 8 fast plant seeds were planted in a self-constructed bottle-growing system‚ and they were left to grow for 7-14 days. The Net Primary Productivity

species is a species of plant or animal that was introduced to a new habitat by humans‚ intentionally or otherwise. Invasive species are also defined as being harmful to the environment and ecosystem to which they are introduced‚ frequently changing the nature of the system (What is an Invasive Species? 2015). Arundo donax is one such species. It is a plant similar to reed or bamboo in that it is tall and straight in appearance. While Arundo donax is a dangerous species of plant that can severely harm

Animal and plant both synthesize fats and proteins from carbohydrate. Thus‚ glucose is a basic energy source for all living organisms. The oxygen released(with water vapour‚ in transpiration) as a photosynthetic byproduct‚ principally of‚ phytoplankton‚ provides most of the atmospheric oxygen vital to respiration in plants and animals‚ and animals in turn produce carbon dioxide necessary to plant. Photosynthesis can therefore be considered the ultimate source of life for nearly all plants and animals

Is photosynthesis important for life? Is photosynthesis important for green plant‚ animal‚ Earth and human? I believe that photosynthesis is major on make fresh air and make the plants own food. I believe that photosynthesis is important for life because the fresh air from the chlorophyll is doing photosynthesis. Plants also make food and oxygen. Then plants is doing photosynthesis‚ it must have sunlight to make their own food and oxygen. The equation about photosynthesis basically is CO2 +
