It took another 160 million years for the taller Psilophyton to evolve. Then the evolutionary pace picked up. It took only 60 million years for plants radiate from the swampy lowlands to high mountains and nearly all places in between. They did so through modifications in their structure‚ function‚ and reproductive modes. Roots‚ Stems‚ and Leaves Underground

    2011 Plants and Nitrogen Lab Report Introduction: Plants need ammonia‚ a combination of nitrogen and hydrogen‚ or nitrate‚ a form of inorganic nitrogen to grow. Most nitrogen is found in the atmosphere. However‚ plants and animals cannot directly absorb the nitrogen found in the atmosphere. Instead nitrogen gas is captured from the air by species of bacteria that lie in the water‚ soil‚ or grow on the roots of some plants. These bacteria convert the nitrogen into a form usable by plants. The

    Plant Adaptation Investigation Observations Samples of plants were obtained during the campus tour. In order survive in the harsh climate of deserts‚ plants must adapt in function‚ reproduction‚ support‚ and defense. Although plants on campus are watered frequently‚ they live in a mostly xeric environment. Three types of cacti were observed: organ pipe‚ prickly pear‚ and saguaro. The organ pipe contains no leaves and has narrow stems that carry out photosynthesis and store water. Neither the

    Role of mycorrhizas in the mineral nutrition of host plants Mycorrhizas are very important in the uptake of nutrients such as P‚ N‚ K‚ Cu‚ Zn and Ca by plants especially in soils low in these nutrients. Since P is the most limiting nutrient in tropical soils‚ mycorrhizas are vital for improving P nutrition particularly for cultivated plants. External hyphae can absorb and translocate P to the host from soil outside the root depletion zone. The thin mycorrhizal hyphae (2-4 μm in diameter) are able

    deforestation keeps on happening? I strongly believe that we need to stop deforestation before it is too late‚ or else we‚ humans‚ will suffer a lot from it. It has been told that forests are our world lungs. As many of us have known‚ every green plant can do photosynthesis‚ a process of producing oxygen from carbon dioxide. If deforestation keeps on happening‚ our oxygen supply will also deplete. That’s one thing I can guarantee. It means that we won’t have enough air to breathe with and it will

    Green plants absorb light energy using chlorophyll in their leaves. They use it to react carbon dioxide with water to make a sugar called glucose. The glucose is used in respiration‚ or converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. This process is called photosynthesis. Temperature‚ carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity are factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis. Plants also need mineral ions‚ including nitrate and magnesium‚ for healthy growth. They
