    Ap Biology Unit 2 Study Guide

    Most plants secure the water and minerals they need from their roots. The path taken is: soil -> roots -> stems -> leaves The minerals (e.g., K+, Ca2+) travel dissolved in the water (often accompanied by various organic molecules supplied by root cells).Less than 1% of the water reaching the leaves is used in photosynthesis and plant growth. Most of it is lost in transpiration.…

    Caffeine Bulbs Experiment

    Take the chemical caffeine for example. The more coffee concentration plants are exposed to the less growth, number of roots, and mitosis in each cell. Other things in nature that might affect the growth rate of plant cells are sunlight, water, space, temperature, nutrients, bacteria, weeds, allelopathy, insects, soil, etc. In areas where there are very few plants growing, the following abiotic factors may be affecting the plant's ability to thrive as well as the rate of mitosis: light, water, soil, nutrients, space and temperature. The few plants living are competing for sunlight, water, and nutrients a plant needs to perform photosynthesis. If this scarce number of plants is competing for sunlight then they are additionally competing for space as well. Drastically changing temperatures can also negatively affect plant growth and mitosis because the plant will have to adapt quickly to both hot and cold temperature conditions. When comparing paved areas like the cracks in a sidewalk to soil areas, there is a clear difference in which would benefit cell growth and mitosis rate and which would negatively benefit cell growth and mitosis rate. Plants in soil areas wouldn’t have as much to compete for as paved areas (Franco). Additionally, the following biotic factors may affect both the rate of mitosis and the growth rate:…

    Plant Growth Hormone Lab Report.

    Plant hormones and growth regulators are chemicals that affect flowering, aging, root growth, killing of leaves, promotion of stem elongation, color enhancement of fruit, prevention of leafing, and many other conditions. Very small concentrations of these substances produce major growth changes. All plants produce hormones naturally, and growth regulators can be applied by people to are applied to plants by people. Plant growth regulators may be synthetic compounds that mimic naturally occurring plant hormones, or they may be natural hormones that were extracted from plant tissue. In our plant growth experiment growth stimulants and growth inhibitors were used. Ideally the plants that received the growth stimulants should have grown larger than the others.…

    Cell Size Surface Area- Volume

    Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from the food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body’s genetic material and can make copies of themselves. A cell is also a metabolic compartment where many different chemical reaction occur. There are two types of cells, eukaryotic and prokaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are usually unicellular, while eukaryotic cells can either exist as a single celled organism or be found in multicellular organisms. The unicellular and multicellular organisms are linked to cell size and surface area to volume ratio. The experiment for cell size and diffusion was set to see how and how much water can go to the cells. This movement of water is called Osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of low concentration (lots of water) to an area of high concentration (little water) through a semi permeable membrane, demonstrated in ‘figure 1’. A semi permeable membrane is a membrane that only lets selected molecules to pass through it. In a plant water is taken into the roots by the process of Osmosis. This is because the cells inside the roots have a higher concentration of solutes than the soil outside the roots, water diffuses from an area on high concentration to an area of low concentration. When a large volume of water enters the cell, it swells causing the membrane to push against the cell wall which is called turgor pressure. When the water moves out of the cell, the membrane shrinks away from the cell wall and becomes a loose cell, plasmolysis. This causes the plant to wilt, as the cells can no longer provide support for the leaves.…

    investigting the effect of light intensity on photosynthesis

    Light intensity will have an effect on plant growth. With an increase in light intensity there will be plant growth at a faster rate in comparison to when the light intensity is low where plant growth is limited and will take place slowly. When there’s too much light intensity, the light intensity will no longer become a limiting factor. A limiting factor is a factor that controls any particular process at the minimum rate. This control the rate of the process which in this case is the light intensity. This can also be called the rate limiting factor as it affects the rate of photosynthesis.…

    transpiration

    All plants continuously absorb water through their roots. This water is conducted upward through the stem and is distributed to all the aerial parts including the leaves. Only a small quantity of this water (about 2%) is used by the plant in photosynthesis and other activities. The rest of it is almost lost to the atmosphere as water vapour.…

    Science - Trasportation in Plants

    Plants need water for photosynthesis but they take in water through their roots so they need to transport the water up the stem to the leaves. Water is taken in by the root hairs because there is a higher water potential in the soil than in the root hairs. Then osmosis occurs to move the water from a cell with high concentration of water to a cell with low concentration through the permeable membrane. Once the water has moved down the concentration gradient it reaches a vessel called a xylem. As water transpires form leaves it creates root pressure and water is forced up through the xylem. The cohesion of water allows them to bond together and aid in this process called the ‘transpiration pull’.…
