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

a schoo Chapter 35 The Plant Body 1. Describe and compare the three basic organs of vascular plants. Explain how these basic organs are interdependent. The three basic organs of a vascular plant are the stems‚ leaves‚ and roots. The stems consist of nodes‚ where leaves attach‚ and internodes between the nodes. The stem is responsible for elongation of the plant and acts as a central axis for other organs to attach to. The roots help to anchor the plant as well as absorb water and nutrients

Sundew plant Sundew are a kind of carnivorous plant. The leaves of sundews are covered with "tentacles". sundew is found throughout all parts of the world. Its greatest concentrations are in Australia and South Africa‚ making them the largest group of carnivorous plants. They have a long-ish head that’s parallel to the ground with small sticky red balls. The insect sticks to the balls and the head curls up to eat it. Besides those there are also some ones in which the heads are the shape of

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

Excellent; I couldn’ t have written a better paper myself. DIVERSITY OF PLANTS Plants evolved more than 430 million years ago from multicellular green algae. By 300 million years ago‚ trees had evolved and formed forests‚ within which the diversification of vertebrates‚ insects‚ and fungi occurred. Roughly 266‚000 species of plants are now living. The two major groups of plants are the bryophytes and the vascular plants; the latter group consists of nine divisions that have living members. Bryophytes

Does Aspirin Effect Plant Growth Plant Science The question of this science fair project question is “Does Aspirin Effect Plant Growth.” This is a good question because aspirin help human get better but‚ will it help plant grow bigger. Or maybe it makes the plant grow faster? Or maybe it can make the plant not grow at all. In this science experiment I am using dieffenbachia plants. Dieffenbachia plants are usually house plants. This is great because this science experiment is being done in the

organic materials which are used for cellular function (Wikipedia). Plants are an example of this kind of organism. A current scientific topic in regard to photoautotrophs is the topic of non-native invasive plants. When a plant is non-native‚ or exotic‚ it means that it is not originally from the United States. They are often brought to an area by accident‚ possibly for agricultural or horticultural purposes. An invasive plant is one that is established‚ then expand and reproduce on their own
