PLANT BODY Two Categories of Plant cells: 1.) Meristematic cells – embryonic‚ undifferentiated and capable of cell division • Apical meristem – located at root and shoot ends • Lateral meristem – run parallel to the long axis of roots and stems – where somatic cells undergo mitosis 2.) Differentiated/Permanent Cells – specialized in structure and usually do not divide • Simple Permanent Tissue – dermal tissue system and ground tissue system › Dermal tissue system – outer surfaces of

Introduction There are both virulent and non-virulent bacteria and fungi that grow on plants. It is difficult to distinguish between the two without proper inspection and diagnosis of the diseased plant to know whether the bacteria or the fungus in question is the virulent or non-virulent one. Therefore pure cultures need to be isolated to know with absolute certainty which is the causative bacteria or fungus. Potato dextrose agar is a good nutrient agar for mycelia to thrive on which is present

Some of the most bizarre and fascinating plants in the natural world are undoubtedly carnivorous plants. Carnivory‚ defined as the consumption of animal tissue‚ is often only associated with the animal kingdom. However the existence of carnivory is widespread and diverse in the plant and fungi kingdoms as well. Specifically carnivorous plants‚ which originally descended from exclusively photosynthetic plants‚ have evolved elaborate‚ efficient‚ and diverse methods to capture‚ digest‚ and metabolize

DISCUSSION Bryophytes are seedless plants without specialized water conducting tissues. Bryophytes include mosses (phylumBryophyta)‚ liverworts (phylum Marchantiophyta Hepatophyta)‚ and hornworts (phylum Anthocerophyta). They are plants that virtually everyone has seen‚ but many have ignored. The most commonly encountered group is the green mosses that cover rotting logs‚ anchor to the bark of trees‚ and grow in the spray of waterfalls‚ along streams and in bogs. Even though mosses often thrive in

Experiment 5. Uptake of water by an uprooted plant - preparation Outline A small uprooted plant is sealed into a 5 or 10 cm3 plastic syringe barrel with ’Blu-tack’ or similar material and fitted to a potometer. Prior knowledge The questions assume that the student has an understanding of photosynthesis. Advance preparation and materials Plants. Dig up small plants (e.g. garden weeds) 10-20 cm tall and wash as much soil as possible off their roots. Select those whose root system can

Wriston Corporation: The Detroit Plant Summary: Richard Sullivan‚ recently appointed vice president in the Heavy Equipment Division (HED) of the Automotive Supplier Group of the Wriston Manufacturing Corporation‚ scrutinized one more time the P&L forecast for the Detroit plant – part of the lengthy report on the future of the plant which had been prepared by a task force Sullivan had appointed six months earlier. He saw three major alternatives: close the plant as soon as possible and transfer its

Experimental Design Bio 1110 ! ! Background: Plants need water to survive. Water makes up 80-95% of the mass in plant tissues. Transpiration is the loss of water from plants in vapor form. 95% of the water is absorbed from the soil for transpiration and 5% is absorbed during photosynthesis for producing necessary carbohydrates for growth. The rate of transpiration is dependent on the amount of water in which is available within the plant‚ soil‚ and on sufficient energy to vaporize water

The Effect of Watering on the Plant Growth 1. Problem/Question: Sarah observes the small garden in their house. She ask her mother why are the plants needed water but it has fertilized already. Their plants aren’t grow . So she decided to experiment on what is the effect of watering on plant growth. 2. Observation/Research: She water them every day‚ they have good soil‚ and they’re in the shade. 3. Formulate a Hypothesis: Sarah think plants will grow better if they’re in the sun

How Does Climate Change Affect Plants? Historical climate change has had a profound effect on current biogeography‚ so we can expect our ongoing and rapid climate change‚ to have as great an effect. Climate change has important implications for nearly every aspect of life on Earth‚ and effects are already being felt. * Temperatureeffects–average‚ minimum or maximum can be important determinants of plant distribution For example the Palmae/Arecaceae are cold intolerant as their single meristem
