Abstract Stomata is important to plants because of their role in gas exchange and photosynthesis. Clear nail polish and clear plastic tape were used to make leaf impressions of A. floridanum. Once impressions were completed‚ compound microscopes were used to count the total number of stomata per slide. The counts of stomata were used to find stomatal densities‚ along with the open/closed ratios of stomata. Stomatal density and open/close ratio of stomata did not differ between the two locations

gaseous envelope of the earth which extends up to a height of 22.5 km. The area of contact and interaction between these components is really important for life‚ for it is here that the entire life is confined and the basic processes of life like photosynthesis and respiration occur. Living organisms are‚ mostly‚ confined to the parts of biosphere that receive solar radiation during the day. As stated above this includes atmosphere‚ the surface of land‚ the few meters of soil and the upper layers

Tick (v) if it is a true statement. Chapter 2 Cell Structure and Cell Organisation 1. The cell is the basic unit of life for all organisms. 2. All cells have the same shape and size. 3. All cells have a plasma membrane‚ nucleus and cytoplasm. 4. Protoplasm consists of a plasma membrane and nucleus. 5. The nucleus consists of chromosomes and a nucleolus. 6. Organelles that are found in the cytoplasm of a cell include the nucleus‚ vacuole‚ endoplasmic reticulum‚ mitochondria and Golgi apparatus.

Jamie Milano Biology 150 Photosynthesis Homework April 8‚ 2013 Reviewing Your Knowledge 2. A pigment solution contains compound A with 4 polar groups and compound B with 2 polar groups. You plan to separate these compounds using paper chromatography with a non-polar solvent. Predict the location of the two bands relative to the solvent front. Explain your answer. Since compound A is probably more polar than compound B‚ compound B will move further in the chromatography. Since the solvent is non-polar

called Photosynthesis. The food that they produce is the sugar glucose. Animals and other organisms are heterotrophs (other- feeders). They must consume other organisms (plants) in order to eventually get their glucose. Both plants and animals use glucose as an input to the process of Cellular Respiration (another subject) to produce ATP molecules. ATP molecules are the energy source for all metabolic processes. Log on to the following web site for a good explanation of photosynthesis. Pay attention

Light Dependent Reactions The light dependent reaction of photosynthesis involves the transfer of sunlight energy into two things: The production of ATP Reduction of coenzyme NADP to NADPH NADP – Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate NADPH – Reduced NADP The energy from sunlight is used to excite an electron‚ within a primary pigment‚ to a higher energy level. The excited electron is then donated to an electron acceptor leaving the chlorophyll molecule oxidised and reducing the acceptor

and close to allow the absorption of carbon dioxide and release of oxygen. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into suitable energy. (http://www.yourdictionary.com/photosynthesis) Photosynthesis actually takes place in the stomata where carbon dioxide and oxygen enter and leave the plant. Chlorophyll is the green pigment of leaves and plants that’s in charge of absorbing light for photosynthesis. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/chlorophyll) All chlorophyll plants
