REVIEW+MORE The cycle of life for a plant starts off as a seed. The seed goes through mitosis and turns into a nature plant‚ which sometimes may produce flowers and fruits. Fruits are where the new seeds can be found‚ continuing the life cycle. A monocot seed with 2 genetic codes (2N) would grow by mitosis. The growth by mitosis would lead to the growth of the apical tips. The meristem cells (stem cells) keep dividing. Then the zone of elongation‚ the plant would get longer and grow. Eventually

(scientific name: Vitex negundo) is a large native shrub that grows in the Philippines and has been traditionally used as herbal medicine. The Philippine Department of Health has conducted research and study for Lagundi and has suggested that the lagundi plant has a number verifiable therapeutic value Lagundi is an erect‚ branched tree or shrub‚ that grows to as much as 5 m high. Lagundi has a single thick‚ woody stem like a trunk and is usually seen in swamps of the Philippines. Lagund leaves appear palmately

Lu Feng BIO 182 Hillary Emick Plant Adaptation Pinus halepensis‚ commonly known as the Aleppo Pine‚ is a pine native to the Mediterranean region. In dessert‚ water is limited for plants to grow up. Pinus halepensis has plans for water management. The leaves are very slender‚ 6–12 cm (2.4–4.7 in) long‚ distinctly yellowish green and produced in pairs (rarely a few in threes).1 The needle-shaped leaves exposed area minimizes the amount of moisture lost to breezes and the sunlight. The needle-shaped

ABSTRACT Morphology is inherent to an understanding of how insects live and function. Orthopteroid insects are good choices for this study because gross morphological features are readily observed. Like most other insects‚ the grasshopper (or other Orthopteroid) consists of three general body regions: the head‚ thorax and abdomen. For morphological studies‚ antennae were detached from the specimen. Then‚ the antenna was mounted in a glass slide. The prepared slides were then examined under magnoscope

Xerophytes A xerophyte is a plant which has adaptations which allows it to live in an environment with little available moisture (the opposite being a hydrophyte). There are some adaptations that are typical of xerophytes‚ usually to reduce the rate of transpiration: A thick waxy cuticle: By having this‚ the plant can limit the amount of water lost through evaporation. If there is little available; why lose what you have? Its shiny surface is also reflective with regards to light‚ keeping the

PRACTICAL 6 Seed Plants (Gymnosperms and Angiosperms) OBJECTIVES: 1. To describe the features of seed plant life cycle and the concept of the dominant generation. 2. To describe the life histories and related reproductive structures of gymnosperms and angiosperms. 3. To summarize the features that distinguish gymnosperms and angiosperms. 4. To discuss the advantages of seed plants to dominate land and their evolutionary adaptations on land. EXPERIMENT 1: Gymnosperms INTRODUCTION: Gymnosperms

Bacteria Morphology April 2‚ 2015 Abstract – The Purpose of this exercise is to gain experience in bacterial morphologies in prepared wet-mounted slides and interpreting the findings of bacteria through direct and indirect staining technique. Hypothesis – The experiment will allow for further insight into stained organisms‚ allowing extended contrast‚ differentiating shape and structure through utilization of microscope. Procedure – Instructions followed as per procedure‚ specimens
Premium Microscope Gram staining Bacteria
Bacteria can be distinguished from one another by their morphology (size‚ shape‚ and staining characteristics). In this lab experiment‚ bacterial morphology was examined by observing both stained and unstained organisms. A wet mount is a preparation process where a live specimen in culture fluid is placed on a slide and the organism is free to move about. In the wet mount slides provided via LabPaq software with cheek‚ dental plaque‚ and yeast specimens were observed. The wet mount preparations

Selection of Carabao mango tree shoots with healthy mature leaves b. Spraying of 2% KNO3 until dripping-wet then tagging (KNO3 treated) c. Selection of Carabao mango tree shoots with healthy mature leaves on a different tree d. Spraying the shoots with plant water. This will be the control without KNO3 treatment. e. Observe after 14 days. Results After 14 days‚ KNO3 treated shoot showed no significance. This may be due to the expected rainfalls during that week of KNO3 treatment. The inducer may possibly

Morphology of Human Blood and Marrow CELLS 1. Describe two main differences between neutrophilic band and neutrophilic segmented cells. Peripheral blood of a healthy individual contains 2% to 6% of the band neutrophils. They have a nucleus with a horseshoe or sausage shape they do not have a nucleus separated into lobes connected by a filament. The nuclear chromatin is clumped they stain various shades of pink and contain alkaline phosphatase. In normal peripheral blood of older adults they have
