Biology Notes 1. Organisms are made of cells that have similar structural characteristics. 1 Outline the historical development of the cell theory‚ in particular the contributions of Robert Hooke and Robert Brown. The development of the cell theory starts in the 1600ʼs with Robert Hookeʼs discovery of cells when viewing a piece of cork under a microscope and describing them as a nun house. Anton van Leeuwenhoek was crucial in the development of microscopes making simple microscopes through advanced

Plant Growth and Development Define growth‚ differentiation‚ development‚ dedifferentiation‚ redifferentiation‚ determinate growth‚ meristem and growth rate. (a) Growth It is an irreversible and permanent process‚ accomplished by an increase in the size of an organ or organ parts or even of an individual cell. (b) Differentiation It is a process in which the cells derived from the apical meristem (root and shoot apex) and the cambium undergo structural changes in the cell wall and the protoplasm

Induction of Resistance in Abaca Against Wilt Disease Complex caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (E. F. Smith) and Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et. al. Using Chemical and Biological Elicitors Abstract Resistance in plants has been reported to be inducible using biological and or chemical elicitors. Fusarium wilt and bacterial wilt diseases are two major diseases hampering abaca production in the Philippines. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of biological

Amee Kelley Sparace Biology 102 5 October 2011 The Commercial Uses of Lignin and Suberin Plants have a way of teaching humans how to better the world around them. They create and use “green” products and chemicals everyday that we as a society are just starting to learn how to use to make our lives greener. We can also use these chemicals to help keep our crops healthy and reduce our dependence on other countries. Lignin and Suberin are becoming more popular in the manufacturing world
