If you are not a 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

Plant and animal cells have several differences and similarities. For example‚ animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed‚ rectangular shapes. Animal Cell Plant Cell Cell wall Absent Present (formed of cellulose) Shape Round (irregular shape) Rectangular (fixed shape) Vacuole One or more small vacuoles (much smaller than plant cells). One‚ large central vacuole taking up 90% of cell volume

for plants‚ and one small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum‚ is called the Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)‚ provides the energy to drive the light reactions of photosynthesis. Such radiation damages biological tissues by detaching electrons from the atoms that make up organic molecules. The results include radiation poisoning‚ cancer‚ and elevated mutation rates. Scientists use ionizing radiation to increase gene mutation rates in experimental organisms such as plants. The

CASE STUDY ANALYSIS: The New Plant Manager Background Summary Toby Butterfield was promoted as new plant manager of Montclair Company in the Houston plant. The plantation where he was appointed was having difficulty in meeting its budget. Toby Butterfield decided to take control‚ make decisions and use his authority. He monitored his employees’ activities‚ determined whether the organization is moving toward its goal and he made corrections. At last‚ he produced remarkable results and the

Functions and structure of plant terpenes Terpenes are an enormous class of organic compounds‚ that are produced by a wide variety of plants and fungi‚ especially conifers. Terpenes are also produced by some of the living organisms‚ like swallowtail butterflies. They emit terpenes from their osmeterium. Terpenes are important materials for a plant as components of its body and as a material to protect it from external enemies since it has a strong smell and colorless. Terpenes are found in biological

similarities between plant and animal cells are as follows: 1. Both are constructed from eukaryotic cells. 2. Both contain a defined nucleus. 3. Both have mitochondria. 4. Both have Golgi bodies. 5. Both are surrounded by a cell membrane. Three differences are: 1. Plants cells have a cell wall‚ whereas animal cells do not. 2. Animal cells have lysosomes‚ whereas plant cells do not. 3. Animal cells contain centrioles and a cytoskeleton‚ whereas most plants do not. Five

of fertilizers on plant growth | | | Year 11 Biology Year 11 Biology Abstract An investigation was carried out to compare the effect between inorganic and organic fertilizers on plant growth. Tomato seedlings were used‚ which were divided into 3 groups - the inorganic fertilizer group‚ the organic fertilizer group and the control group. Besides using different fertilizers‚ all of the seedlings were planted in the same condition. The result has shown that the plants using organic fertilizer
