Plant Adaptation Investigation Observations Samples of plants were obtained during the campus tour. In order survive in the harsh climate of deserts‚ plants must adapt in function‚ reproduction‚ support‚ and defense. Although plants on campus are watered frequently‚ they live in a mostly xeric environment. Three types of cacti were observed: organ pipe‚ prickly pear‚ and saguaro. The organ pipe contains no leaves and has narrow stems that carry out photosynthesis and store water. Neither the

A world without plants Plants; probably the most ignored organism on this planet. People walk past plant and cut them down but nobody ever thinks about what they do for us‚ what the world would be if there was never any plants or photosynthetic organisms. If the world never had these organisms the world would be a desolate place. There would be no oxygen‚ atmosphere‚ or food. We inhale air unconsciously every day. By taking in air‚ we absorb oxygen and discharge carbon dioxide in the process of

Everyone has lied at some point in their life. What do ‘’Charles’’ and ‘’The Open Window’’ both have in common? Both of these stories are centered around dishonest young people. The kids in these stories are very dishonest to adults Laurie from ‘’Charles ‘’ lies to his family and Vera from ‘’The Open Window lies to Mr. Nuttel and her aunt.

are more to aquatic plants than just floating on the surface of water. Aquatic plants are plants that can adapt and live in a freshwater environment. They are sometimes called hydrophytes. These include plants that live in fresh wetlands‚ swamps‚ ponds‚ lakes‚ and marshes. This type of plant actually serves two important functions. First‚ they help oxygenate water (2006) and they provide nutrients and food for some fishes (Tappin‚ 2003). There are many types of aquatic plants including rooted‚ emergent

Morality can best be described as a person’s standards of behavior or belief concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do. In a diverse society as this‚ different persons will have different beliefs and standards of behavior‚ hence different morals. The question is then‚ who decides what is acceptable or not.

Role of mycorrhizas in the mineral nutrition of host plants Mycorrhizas are very important in the uptake of nutrients such as P‚ N‚ K‚ Cu‚ Zn and Ca by plants especially in soils low in these nutrients. Since P is the most limiting nutrient in tropical soils‚ mycorrhizas are vital for improving P nutrition particularly for cultivated plants. External hyphae can absorb and translocate P to the host from soil outside the root depletion zone. The thin mycorrhizal hyphae (2-4 μm in diameter) are able

decomposed faster‚ how do flies find dead bodies and how the secession of insects were on the bodies that were hanging and on the ground. First‚ one of the questions was on if the piglet in the natural state‚ the burnt one or the buried one would decompose faster. Originally I thought that the piglet buried would be the one to decompose faster. I thought this because of worms and other type of bugs would be able to eat them however‚ this was disproven. Accordingly the one to decompose faster was the

Parts of plants Each part of a plant has a very important function. All plants produce flowers for the same reason: to make seeds so another plant can grow. Leaves: These are the parts of the plant where food is made by photosynthesis. Leaves take in carbon dioxide from the air‚ water from the soil‚ and energy from the sunlight. During photosynthesis‚ the leaves use light energy to change carbon dioxide and water into food. (sugar) Flowers: These are the reproductive parts of
