Function of Plants Review: Plant Structure‚ Growth‚ and Development I 1. How does the vascular tissue system enable leaves and roots to function together in supporting growth and development of the whole plant? 2. When you eat the following‚ what plant structure are you consuming? Brussels sprouts‚ celery sticks‚ onions‚ and carrot sticks. 3. Characterize the role of each of the three tissue systems in a leaf. 4. Describe at least three specializations in plant organs and plant cells that

Transgenic Animals and Plants What is a transgenic animal/plant? A transgenic animal or plant is one that has a foreign gene (called a "transgene") inserted into its DNA. Transgenic animals and plants are sometimes called "genetically modified organisms" or GMO ’s for short. What is a transgene? A transgene is the foreign gene that has been moved from one organism into a new organism by genetic engineering. For example‚ a bacterial gene that is inserted into a plant ’s DNA would be a transgene

PLANTS AND HUMAN BEINGS Plants and humans are living things that constitute part of the environment. These two depend on each other for their survival. But as plants can live without humans‚ humans can not live for long without plants and this essay explains why this is possible. Plants have the capability to build up organic substances they need from inorganic substances. They only need carbon dioxide‚ water and salts to make their essential substances. Glucose for example is produced from these

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: 1. Describe what each of your chromatography

Equipment • Cheap plants in three even groups • Three similar sized containers • A ready supply of water • A modern microwave • A ruler • Soil • Measuring cup • Record book Method After the all the equipment is bought‚ the first step to replicate this experiment is to place the three plant group in each of the containers‚ filling the container to around three quarters of the way up‚ not covering the plant. In my case the plants I used were spinach sprouts‚ with two sprouts in each ice-cream

The C4 & CAM Pathway Many plant species that evolved in hot‚ dry climates fix carbon through alternative pathways. Under hot and dry conditions‚ plants can rapidly lose water to the air through small pores called stomata. Stomata (singular‚ stoma)‚ are usually located on the undersurface of the leaves. Plants can reduce water loss by partially closing their stomata when the air is hot and dry. Stomata are the major passageways through which CO2 enters and O2 leaves a plant. When a plant’s stomata are

A plants volatile organic compound (VOC) composition is the hand that swats unwanted visitors‚ welcomes visitation from much needed pollinators‚ and the substantial determinant in a plants identity and overall evolutionary fitness within the plant community. Understanding the mechanics of volatile formation is essential in interpreting their importance in plant life‚ and in plant-animal interactions. A huge allocation of energy is assumed to be given to the production of volatiles‚ and is therefore

Reflective Essay At the beginning of the semester‚ we started out with a small assessment on writing perspectives‚ and how it affects our writing process. The short video had a number of students‚ talking about how they hate writing and why (YouTube. Zabielski). At that time‚ I did not agree with the students on the video‚ and thought the only problem I had in my writing process‚ was time management. Of course‚ that is one of the reasons I decided to take English 102 online; it saves time and allows
