Seed and Gardenia
Vascular or nonvascular? My plant is vascular because it has true roots, stems, and leaves. It has a system for transporting food and water. My plant has tube –like structures that provide support and circulate water and food throughout the plant.
Monocot or Dicot? My plant is a dicot because it’s flowers have either four or five petals or multiples of these numbers. The leaves are wide with branching veins. The vascular tube structures are arranged in circular bundles.
How the Dwarf Gardenia Survives, Reproduces, and defends itself? The Gardenia need to be potted and outside if so and the temp needs to be about 60 to 62 degrees It prefers moist soil and lots of sunshine and fertilizer. The gardenia reproduces in the following steps below….. The anther produces pollen, or sperm, which has traveled to the stigma, the portion of the pistil is designed to capture pollen. The pollen then travels down the style, the long tube leading down through the pistil, to the ovaries where the ovules are kept or stored. Once the fertilization occurs, the ovules will transfer into seeds and the plant will begin to produce fruit. The Gardenia is known as a deer resistant plant. It uses it’s strong scent , woody branches, thick leaves , and It’s waxy leaves. Gardenias life cycle.. The Germination of a gardenia takes about 21 to 60 days their seeds grow slowy and erratically when they germinate they need lots of sunlight.! The seed production of the Gardenia The flower is pollinated and fertilized, the base of the pistil, called the ovary, and begins to grow to form a seed pod and each seed contains embryo that forms a new plant when it germinates. Fertilization of my plant. When you fertilize the gardenia you need to use Acid Fertilizer and always keep them in direct sunlight and check for any bugs such as aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, thrips and scales. Do not over water Gardenias during fertilization. Plant development it’s growth habits are Arching, Broad, Bushy, Dense, Low-Growing, Mounding, Sprawling, Trailing and Spreading.
ASEXUAL OR SEXUAL? My plant reproduces asexually which means that the gardenias reproduction one requires one parent and that means it can grow other asexual parts from it’s own body or plant part and if any part of the asexual plant is damaged it can grow back from the stems, roots, or leaves of the asexual plant.
Photosynthesis of the gardenia. In order for the Gardenia to grow you need to keep it in the environment that is developed in (Southern China and Japan) with warm days, cool nights, and moist and humid conditions. Transpiration of the Gardenia. They use a form of evaporation called evapotranspiration when a gardenia is in bud they require additional water to sustain plant health so they can survive you should use drip irrigation and gardenias should be watered even after flowering to strengthen for winter weather. Respiration of the

    Flower and Angiosperms

    • 407 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Angiosperms have a wide distribution in the biosphere and the largest number of species in the plant kingdom. An angiosperm is seed plant that produces flowers and fruits. Angiosperms are divided into monocots and eudicots. They are classified in Anthophyta. There are four structures for reproduction found in angiosperms. These structures include fruits, petals, stamen, and carpel. Fruits, which are the matured ovaries of plants helps to disperse the seeds of angiosperms. By being tasteful, more animals are attracted to the fruit therefore allowing the fruit to be dispersed. The petals of the flower attract pollinators, due to their appearance. Flowers have evolved to attract animals to transfer pollen between individuals in dispersed populations. Stamens are the male reproductive structure, they produce microspores in the anthers of a flower to produce pollen grains. Pollen is able to be transferred by wind due to its waterproof coating. The carpel of an angiosperm is the female reproductive structure, which produces female gametophytes with eggs. The carpel helps to create and ovule. The ovule protects the eggs and zygote, it is an a adaptation which increases reproductive fitness.…

    Agricola and Germania

    • 1598 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The Agricola and Germani is a novel that serves two purposes: The Agricola is a eulogy praising Tacitus's father-in-law, and commander of Britian, Agricola. The Germania is an ethnography on German people. Both stories are told through the eyes of Tacitus as he indirectly criticizes Roman politics and society. His reason for snaking in these criticisms in such a crafty manner had been due to his friendship with high ranking Roman officials whom he did not want to upset. His criticisms were derived from his experiences with Agricola, speeches given by Calgucus, and his ability to compare and contrast cultural differences of Rome and Germania, targeting Germania as a threat to Rome. Tacitus praises German culture throughout the Germania, and allows readers to applaud them for their stress on the importance of freedom, instead of bashing on them. Tacitus's opinion became an utmost crucial part of the story, that sometimes his viewpoints were stated as facts, which could dupe the reader. Also, his personal connection with Agricola added to a biased opinion on him, and an exaggeration of his accomplishments, which alter the facts. An example from the text that reveals Tacitus's biased feelings toward Agricola is evident through his theory that Agricola died by poison from Domitian, who had been apparently envious of Agricola's fame, although this theory was never proved. As a historian, military history and geographical knowledge was absent in Tacitus's work. Whereas he makes up for that as a biographer with the knowledge he did attain from his closely knit relationship with Agricola, and his ability to powerfully recite these incidents.…
