Ryan Tudino Mrs. Couchon Biology Honors/ 1A 10 April 2013 Abstract The seeds of summer squash (Cacurbita moschata)‚ beet (Beta vulgaris)‚ and pepper (Capsicum annuum) are all dicot plants‚ which mean that they have two seed leaves inside the seed coat. When they are placed in an environment and are watered with solutions of different acidic and alkaline levels‚ the root growth during germination is affected. The purpose of this experiment was to observe what type of substance‚ acidic or basic

Introduction: Plants have adaptations to help them survive in harsh environments; Some live in a forests where plants have to find a way to get the sunlight they require‚ some live in an aquatic environments where there is an abundance of water‚ and some live in desert environments where it is dry and very hot. These plants have different adaptations such as leaf size‚ leaf surface‚ stem size‚ and their stress level. In this lab‚ we will be discussing plants from 3 different regions; forest‚ aquatic

INTRODUCTION Cotton is a soft‚ fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll‚ or protective capsule‚ around the seeds of cotton plants of the genus Gossypium. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. The botanical purpose of cotton fiber is to aid in seed dispersal. The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world‚ including the Americas‚ Africa‚ and India. The fiber most often is spun into yarn or thread and used to make

Transport in Plants Matthew H. 9A 131002 Today I will be discussing our experiment and the basics of transport of minerals and water in plants. Transport in plants are called transpiration. Water evaporates from the leaves which cause a type of suction that draws water from the roots. The water travels up via the vascular bundles. This flow of water is called transpiration stream. Some pressure is created forcing some water out of the cells in into the spaces between the cells
