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

Polka Dot Plant (Hypoestes Sanguinolenta) also known as "freckle face" is an attractive decorative ornamental plant with velvety green leaves and splashes of color. Its color spectrum consists of red‚ white‚ purple‚ lavender‚ purple scarlet rose. The striking leaves also come in solid colors with dots. Other common names for this plant are the flamingo plant‚ the pink dot plant‚ and the measles plant suggest spotted leaves. This bushy‚ colorful plant is native to Madagascar where it can grow up

are more to aquatic plants than just floating on the surface of water. Aquatic plants are plants that can adapt and live in a freshwater environment. They are sometimes called hydrophytes. These include plants that live in fresh wetlands‚ swamps‚ ponds‚ lakes‚ and marshes. This type of plant actually serves two important functions. First‚ they help oxygenate water (2006) and they provide nutrients and food for some fishes (Tappin‚ 2003). There are many types of aquatic plants including rooted‚ emergent

Does Aspirin Effect Plant Growth Plant Science The question of this science fair project question is “Does Aspirin Effect Plant Growth.” This is a good question because aspirin help human get better but‚ will it help plant grow bigger. Or maybe it makes the plant grow faster? Or maybe it can make the plant not grow at all. In this science experiment I am using dieffenbachia plants. Dieffenbachia plants are usually house plants. This is great because this science experiment is being done in the

organic materials which are used for cellular function (Wikipedia). Plants are an example of this kind of organism. A current scientific topic in regard to photoautotrophs is the topic of non-native invasive plants. When a plant is non-native‚ or exotic‚ it means that it is not originally from the United States. They are often brought to an area by accident‚ possibly for agricultural or horticultural purposes. An invasive plant is one that is established‚ then expand and reproduce on their own

I predicted it this way because plants are made to grow in tough conditions and I dident think crowding would have any effect.

STUDY GUIDE INTEGRATED SCIENCE 10 PLANT UNIT DO YOU/CAN YOU…. 1. Understand that both plants and animals (eukaryotes) undergo a similar process for cellular division/reproduction? Both plant and animal cells undergo mitosis and meiosis. In plants‚ there is an alternation of generations; the gametophyte generation‚ where haploid gametes (pollen and ovule; sperm and egg) are produced via mitosis. Then the sporophyte generation combines these two into spores via meiosis‚ resulting in a diploid

microbe‚ a human‚ or an animal‚ then you are most likely plant. Plants and trees cover about thirty percent of the planet’s surface‚ as stated in NASA’s Earth Observatory division. They use a process called photosynthesis‚ which allows plants to take energy from the Sun and later using it as food‚ as well as producing oxygen through the process of respiration. So how does it happen? The process of photosynthesis occurs as follows. First‚ the plant uses the sunlight and the green color in their leaves

Introduction There are both virulent and non-virulent bacteria and fungi that grow on plants. It is difficult to distinguish between the two without proper inspection and diagnosis of the diseased plant to know whether the bacteria or the fungus in question is the virulent or non-virulent one. Therefore pure cultures need to be isolated to know with absolute certainty which is the causative bacteria or fungus. Potato dextrose agar is a good nutrient agar for mycelia to thrive on which is present

PLANT BODY Two Categories of Plant cells: 1.) Meristematic cells – embryonic‚ undifferentiated and capable of cell division • Apical meristem – located at root and shoot ends • Lateral meristem – run parallel to the long axis of roots and stems – where somatic cells undergo mitosis 2.) Differentiated/Permanent Cells – specialized in structure and usually do not divide • Simple Permanent Tissue – dermal tissue system and ground tissue system › Dermal tissue system – outer surfaces of
