Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Introduction We see plants all around‚ every day. We have been thinking how water travels through plant stems we do some studying and surfing in the internet we learned that water travel by absorbing through the roots and travelling through the plants’ vascular system. Surface tension and pressure help the water move its way through the plant. Statement of the problem 1. How many grams of

as the process to produce plant food. But‚ how does is the life exist on the planet we call our home‚ Earth? Photosynthesis is a process that we know that allows water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and some mineral salts along with the light from the sun to make glucose (sugar). During the process‚ the root sytem of the plant takes in elements known as nitrogen‚ phosphorous‚ iron‚ calcium‚ & potassium to help produce glucose. Glucose helps store energy from the sun into the plant. The photosynthesis process

We can prevent spreading it by good hygiene. However‚ if the spreading cannot be controlled‚ there are some other ways of treatment. Herbal plants play an important role in traditional healing of fungal infection. The researcher proposed Suob-kabayo leaves as treatment for athlete’s foot. According to Bacon‚ distilled from the plant a greenish‚ volatile oil‚ with a powerful menthol odor‚ investigation proved that menthol is the principal constituent of this oil. Santos and Valenzuela

Chapter 29 An Overview of Land Plant Evolution 1. Describe four shared derived homologies that link charophyceans and land plants. a. The complexes that produce cellulose are rose shaped in both charophyceans and land plants. Next both have peroxisome enzymes that help minimize the loss of organic products from photorespiration. The structure of their flagellated sperm is very similar. Finally‚ both form a phragmoplast during cell division. 2. Distinguish among the kingdoms Plantae‚ Streptophyta

intensity on the rate of photosynthesis will be tested. Photosynthesis is the process in which autotrophic plants create their own food (energy) from sunlight. Photosynthesis involves three ‘ingredients’ or reactants‚ carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and light energy (sunlight). Carbon dioxide and sunlight come in through a leaf’s stomata which are tiny holes‚ and water is absorbed through their roots. When all of these reactants are combined in a plant’s chloroplasts‚ glucose (a type of energy) and oxygen

removed and observations and measurement of any root and shoot growth were taken. There was insignificant or no germination in most of the sampled beans with an unusually high germination of the 1.0% saline group. INTRODCUTION: This study was to observe the effects of increased saline (NaCl) concentrations in relation to the germination of P. vulgaris seeds. The hypothesis is that with each increase in saline concentration there will be less root development. Why do higher concentrations of

photosynthetic‚ plants found in the biosphere Most are autotrophs (synthesize own food with help of solar energy) Contains about billion types of plant species Based on biologists‚ plants are divided into four main groups: 1. Phylum Bryophyta 2. Phylum Pteridophytae 3. Phylum Angiosperms 4. Phylum Gymnosperms These four main groups were classified based on: The presence/absence of vascular tissues (xylem and phloem; transport of nutrients) The presence/absence of seeds Two types of plants 1.
