also anchor the plant. Some roots have mycorrhizae‚ which increase the surface area and therefore increase the absorption. The endodermis‚ which is the innermost layer of cells in the root cortex‚ surrounds the vascular cylinder. It is the passage of minerals from the cortex into the vascular tissue. The stem has a system of nodes where leaves are attached. They have a waxy coating (epidermis) that prevents water loss. The stem and the roots are the 2 main axes in a vascular plant. Fluids are transported

Biogas Plant The Bio-Gas Plant produces gas from the raw materials of human excreta and cowdung. The residue obtained from the plant is used as the food of fish. It is a system to process livestock wastes into safe‚ high-quality‚ efficient organic fertilizer without exhausting greenhouse gases into the air. These gas plants also contribute to safe-keeping and clean environment by preventing bad odor and contamination of the underground. Furthermore‚ they are capable of generating electric power

Missed Nursing Care‚ Staffing‚ and Patient Falls Grand Canyon University Nursing Research Nursing:433-V Angie Lawson‚ RN March 9‚ 2014 Introduction Patient safety is a concern in the hospital setting. Missed nursing care due to high nurse patient ratios‚ or staffing issues leads to patient falls. Patient falls tend to be a big issue and expensive matter for hospitals nationwide. This paper will focus on a qualitative research article regarding missed nursing care‚ staffing‚ and patient falls

Khalan A. AP Biology Plants Immune Systems Plants serve as the main source of nutrients for countless organisms such as fungi‚ protists‚ vertebrates‚ and insects. In comparison to humans‚ a plant’s “immune system” is insignificant. However‚ plants have adapted and evolved chemical‚ physical‚ and protein based mechanisms to protect themselves against invaders. A plant’s first line of defense against pathogens is their innate immunity. The “innate-immune system” is a non-specific immune

Abstract The hypothesis states that plants respire at a faster rate if they are exposed to wind‚ opposed to no wind. This was tested by putting one plant in water in front of a fan and the other plant in water‚ but with no fan. The results showed that the plant in front of the fan transpired more. However‚ since the plant blew cold air it affected the rate of transpiration and altered the experiment. Overall‚ this experiment supports the hypothesis that wind makes plants transpire more.

Objectives: To use the process of chromatography to separate plant pigments. To compare the plant pigments found in spinach and red leaf lettuce leaves. Hypotheses: I believe the spinach leaf in the acetone will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. I believe the spinach leaf in distilled water will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. Discussion Questions:
