Introduction Plants are some of the most important organisms on earth. They perform a multitude of services that keep ecosystem functioning. Plants provide us with food‚ medicine‚ and they perform photosynthesis which converts carbon dioxide into oxygen and in so doing remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ provide us with many everyday products and are very beautiful to look at. (Morgan 2009) Plants provide us with energy through food Food provides humans with energy that allows us to

Separation and Identification of Plant Pigments by Paper Chromatography Biology 1107L Introduction All living organisms require energy for their chemical processes. The ultimate source of this energy is the sun. Plants convert light energy into the chemical energy of sugars. During photosynthesis pigments are used to capture light energy. Pigments of green plants can easily be separated and identified using a technique called paper chromatography. The purpose of this

Experimental Plant Variety In order to have a suitable variety of plant types to successfully complete this experiment‚ plant types that contained recognizable traits and that would not easily be pollinated by foreign pollen were chosen. Finding a plant variety with such characteristics allowed better control over the experiment. Twenty-two varieties of pea plants were chosen by first trialing thirty-four varieties. For two years‚ only self-pollination was allowed for each of these thirty-four plant varieties

PLANT RESPONSES TROPISM is a biological phenomenon‚ indicating growth or turning movement of a biological organism‚ usually a plant‚ in response to an environmental stimulus. In tropisms‚ this response is dependent on the direction of the species. The word tropism comes from the Greek trope ("to turn" or "to change"). Tropisms are usually named for the stimulus involved and may be either positive (towards the stimulus) or negative (away from the stimulus). Phototropism is the growth response

Fast Plants By: Kinser Haselhuhn Biology 111 Section Y Professor Brittingham 4/19/13 Abstract: Introduction: Materials and Methods: To begin the fast plants experiment‚ each group received the F1 generation seeds for their designated phenotypes. After receiving the seeds‚ the seeds were then planted into Styrofoam “quads” allowing the seeds to germinate. The seeds were then allowed to grow under a fluorescent light bank for 5 weeks. Throughout the growing of the seeds‚ each plant
