“What is a poisonous plant‚” one may ask. A poisonous plant is a something that is a toxic and can be harmful to humans‚ animals‚ and even insects. Poisonous plants exist because they may benefit a species‚ but may also be harmful to others. Many noxious plants can result in immense pain‚ sickness‚ disease‚ and mortality. Some of these plants include: the Atropa Belladonna‚ Brugmansia‚ and Ricinus Communis. The Atropa Belladonna emanates from Eurasia‚ which is located northeast of the United States

STUDY GUIDE INTEGRATED SCIENCE 10 PLANT UNIT DO YOU/CAN YOU…. 1. Understand that both plants and animals (eukaryotes) undergo a similar process for cellular division/reproduction? Both plant and animal cells undergo mitosis and meiosis. In plants‚ there is an alternation of generations; the gametophyte generation‚ where haploid gametes (pollen and ovule; sperm and egg) are produced via mitosis. Then the sporophyte generation combines these two into spores via meiosis‚ resulting in a diploid

In this review we will learn a lot of things about the effects of radiation in plants and some information about the plants and radiation. So as I go on my research I found out that‚ in moving from the water to the land‚ several living creatures had to subdue the number of problems. It must include the fortification against reproduction‚ fluid and nutrient transport‚ desiccation and ultraviolet radiation. So plants started from algae‚ it has been found in a long time photosynthesizing bacteria could

microbe‚ a human‚ or an animal‚ then you are most likely plant. Plants and trees cover about thirty percent of the planet’s surface‚ as stated in NASA’s Earth Observatory division. They use a process called photosynthesis‚ which allows plants to take energy from the Sun and later using it as food‚ as well as producing oxygen through the process of respiration. So how does it happen? The process of photosynthesis occurs as follows. First‚ the plant uses the sunlight and the green color in their leaves

which is used to heat water to create steam. This steam turns turbines which produces electricity. In a standard fossil fuel electricity station the same thing occurs except the burning of the fossil fuel heats the water to create steam. Nuclear power plants can produce more energy using less fuel and thus they are seen as a more environmental friendly source of power. What are the Disadvantages of Nuclear Power? Due to many countries looking to find more environmentally friendly ways of producing

KOODANKULAM NUCLEAR POWER PLANT Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power station currently under construction in Koodankulam in the Tirunelveli district of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Project investment cost to India was estimated to be US$ 3.5 billion in a 2001 agreement. History An Inter-Governmental Agreement on the project was signed on November 20‚ 1988 by Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. The project remained in limbo for 10 years due

c) Plant cell Click “continue” and answer the “Pop-up Questions.” When you are finished‚ click on “Plant cell” and read the text. 4) Which organelle in the plant cell would mainly help the cell take in water or get rid of water‚ just like the potato did? This is also known as “osmosis.” How do you know that this organelle would help with that process? Vacuole 5) Which organelle‚ if empty‚ would cause the plant to wilt? Why is this? if the vacuole is empty the plant will because

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
