PLANTS Plants in Our Daily Life A plant(also called green plants) is a multi-cellular living organism‚member of kingdom Plantae.It is at the base of the food web and are Autotrophs.Plants are considered as backbone of all life on Earth and essential resource for living oragnisms.Plants can be reffered as a factory which processes light into energy and manufactures food for it ownself as well as for other living things.Scientists have foundmore than 270‚000 spieces of plants They include a host of

Plants‚ also called green plants (Viridiplantae in Latin)‚ are living organisms of the kingdom Plantae including such multicellular groups as flowering plants‚ conifers‚ ferns and mosses‚ as well as‚ depending on definition‚ the green algae‚ but not red or brown seaweeds like kelp‚ nor fungi or bacteria. Green plants have cell walls with cellulose and characteristically obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis using chlorophyll contained in chloroplasts‚ which gives them their

Plant Physiology Review for Quiz 4/09/13 1. What is Plant Physiology? Plant physiology is the study of the functions of plants. 2. What is the difference between phenotype and genotype The difference between phenotype and genotype is that phenotype is the external characteristics and genotype is the genetic make up 3. What are the two types of cell walls? The two types of cell walls are primary cell wall and secondary cell wall. 4. What are the most abundance components of the CELL

Internal Structure Of A Plant PLANT CELL STRUCTURE Plant cells are classed as eukaryotes organisms‚ because they have a membrane enclosed nuclei and organelles. Here is a diagram of a plant cell;  Cytoplasm Most chemical reactions take place here. It helps the cell maintain it’s shape. Nucleus The nucleus has two main roles. Firstly it contains all the cells genetic information. Secondly it coordinates the cell’s activities‚ which include growth‚ intermediary metabolism‚ protein synthesis

Plants and animals have a lot of things in common so much in fact i couldn’t fit half of them into this essay‚ there similarities and differences span from the smallest things like cells to huge thing like the whole organism. One thing that plants and animals both have in common is the fact that they adapt‚ the main thing isn’t that they adapt though it’s why they do it. Animals‚ plants‚ and humans all share the same thing they have a will to live in different ways maybe or some might want to live

The evolution of plants has resulted in increasing levels of complexity‚ from the earliest algal mats‚ through bryophytes‚ lycopods‚ ferns to the complex gymnosperms and angiosperms of today. While the groups which appeared earlier continue to thrive‚ especially in the environments in which they evolved‚ each new grade of organisation has eventually become more "successful" than its predecessors by most measures. Probably an algal scum formed on land 1‚200 million years ago. In the Ordovician period

study the transpiration of a leafy shoot using the bubble potometer * Materials and apparatus: * Bubble potometer * Leafy shoot * Scissors * Basin with water * A fan * Plumbing tape * Method: Normal Condition: 1. The bubble potometer was filled with water. 2. The stem of a leafy shoot was cut under water. 3. The bottom of the stem was wrapped by plumbing tape. 4. The stem was fitted onto the photometer under the water. 5. The plant was allowed

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

Transport in Plants Introduction In this lab experiment‚ we set out to examine the different transpiration rates of a plant system in certain environments. Water is transported in a plant by the process of transpiration‚ which is the loss of water through evaporation from the surface of leaves. The stomata in leaves are responsible for the diffusion of water vapor. Transpiration brings water upward through the xylem in the plant. There are certain factors that can affect transpiration rates in
