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

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

Role of mycorrhizas in the mineral nutrition of host plants Mycorrhizas are very important in the uptake of nutrients such as P‚ N‚ K‚ Cu‚ Zn and Ca by plants especially in soils low in these nutrients. Since P is the most limiting nutrient in tropical soils‚ mycorrhizas are vital for improving P nutrition particularly for cultivated plants. External hyphae can absorb and translocate P to the host from soil outside the root depletion zone. The thin mycorrhizal hyphae (2-4 μm in diameter) are able

Many different plant and animal species thrive in the rainforest environment‚ but it is the trees that define the way we see the rainforest. From the air‚ a rainforest looks like an enormous‚ green carpet. The canopy very rarely breaks‚ with no gaps between the trees. Beneath these trees‚ there are thousands of different types of plants. Living amongst the trees‚ vines‚ shrubs‚ ferns‚ and mosses are many different types of animals. These range from the smallest ant to the carnivorous (meat-eating)

surface of water and mud. Algae were evolving at the water’s edge‚ and one group – probably the charophytes – gave rise to plants. Cooksonia‚ a simple branching plant a few centimeters tall‚ evolved by 430 million years ago. It took another 160 million years for the taller Psilophyton to evolve. Then the evolutionary pace picked up. It took only 60 million years for plants radiate from the swampy lowlands to high mountains and nearly all places in between. They did so through modifications in

Experimenting with Plant Growth Team Rocket Science Introduction: The purpose of the experiment was to establish whether the concentration of Schultz fertilizer that was added to the radish seeds effects the speed of growth during the six-week time frame of the study. The major variables with this study are proficient communications among the team‚ the seeds‚ soil‚ water concentration‚ fertilizer‚ light exposure‚ temperature of the room‚ consistency of following watering (watering the plant same time every

Plant Adaptation Investigation Observations Samples of plants were obtained during the campus tour. In order survive in the harsh climate of deserts‚ plants must adapt in function‚ reproduction‚ support‚ and defense. Although plants on campus are watered frequently‚ they live in a mostly xeric environment. Three types of cacti were observed: organ pipe‚ prickly pear‚ and saguaro. The organ pipe contains no leaves and has narrow stems that carry out photosynthesis and store water. Neither the

deforestation keeps on happening? I strongly believe that we need to stop deforestation before it is too late‚ or else we‚ humans‚ will suffer a lot from it. It has been told that forests are our world lungs. As many of us have known‚ every green plant can do photosynthesis‚ a process of producing oxygen from carbon dioxide. If deforestation keeps on happening‚ our oxygen supply will also deplete. That’s one thing I can guarantee. It means that we won’t have enough air to breathe with and it will

Science-104 Question: Does different types of water affect how high a plant will grow? Golden pothos‚ also known as devil’s ivy‚ is an ideal houseplant; it’s attractive‚ hardy‚ tolerant of many lighting conditions but fond of low light‚ fast-growing‚ pest-repellent‚ safe around children and pets‚ and almost impossible to kill. The golden pothos vine is one of the most popular and dependable houseplants available today. These plants grow to giant proportions in their native habitats. Their mature

percent of animal life lives in the trees. It is filled with lakes‚ river‚ swamps and a wide variety of different terrain. There is an overabundance of green plant life that strives on the heavy rains received each year. The forest floor is full of nutrients which the large tree strive on giving the canopy effects and which houses so much plant and animal life. 2.
