Problem Set 1 Solutions: Chapters 1 1 Cell sizes: E. coli is a cylindrical bacteria with 1 M wide and 2 M long. Liver cells are approximately spherical with a diameter of 20 M. Plant palisade cells are cylinders 20 M wide and 35 M long. A) Calculate the volumes of each cells? A) Since E.Coli is cylindrical Volume of a cylinder = r2h‚ where r is half of bacterial width/diameter = 1M/2 = 0.5M and h is the length of the bacteria

Table Animal slaughter is a necessary evil‚ but unfortunately with the way it is carried out it is repulsive. For as long as recorded history mankind has hunted animals for survival and that practice continues today. The main use for an animal is for food; this is the oldest and the most universal form of an animal.

Mutualistic relationship of young desert plants and nurse plants. By: Anthony J. Johnston University of Arizona Abstract- The project being presented is on the association of desert plant life with nurse plants. It is said that desert plant life such as C. Gigantea‚ Ferocactus Wislizeni‚ and Ambrosia Deltoidea‚ associate themselves with other large nurse plants for protection‚ and other resources. Results showed that there was no random association of this hypothesis; therefore the null hypothesis

Investigating the Effects of Plant growth within Abstract This experiment was conducted to determine whether or not those plants can grow in low fertilized‚ less sun light and the control group. Each group had there own task of making sure that the plants were always water‚ each plant had the same amount of light on them. When the plants started to evolve each individual plant was measured of the height. Most of the plants grew faster than others but over the period the plants that grew faster started

Engineering in Plants In the 1920’s‚ a man named Henry Wallace founded a company called “The Hi-Bred Corn Company.” He began selecting corn plants that flourished in certain aspects and bred them with other prosperous plants to make a hybrid. After pollenating the female silk of one plant with the pollen of another; the resulting offspring displayed both traits. This idea of ‘selective breeding’ would go on to become the norm in that era of agriculture because it produced bigger and better plants. Because
