Bees are very important to our ecosystem. People don’t really care about bees and just only think that they only make honey and pollinate flowers. Bees do a lot more than just make honey‚ pollinate flowers or sting living things for defensive purposes. Bees play a big part in our food supply and the environment‚ if they go extinct then we lose a lot of food and the ecosystem will be out of balance. Bees do a lot for the ecosystem‚ the main thing that they do is pollinate. “Pollination

competition for water‚ sunlight‚ and nutrients some plants have developed characteristics that are well outside of “the box”. Some of these adaptations are for defense‚ like the Aciphylla Horrid whose leaves are stiff and extremely sharp and whose flowers are surrounded by similarly shaped bracts. On the other hand‚ some traits are also developed for offensive purposes. For instance the Ficus group commonly known as strangler figs‚ which grow on trees and literally strangle‚ and sometimes kill the

Wild purple flowers with yellow centers grow intermittently around the plants as if to bring a little color to the dryness of the landscape. I pause as a butterfly with large yellow and blue wings flutters from flower to flower‚ collecting pollen that the colorful flowers so graciously provide. As I walk further into the field‚ I find myself under a canopy of trees. The large trunks twist

cause. It is very obvious that bees play an important role in the ecosystem and for humans. Honey bees help the process of pollination. This process happens when a Honey Bee lands on a flower and transmits pollen grains (Male) to the stigma (Female) inside the flower. This happens everytime a bee lands on a flower. This process is more important than ever‚ due to the growing population of the earth and United States. The body of honeys bees make them excellent pollinators. Their fuzzy hair traps

Actinomorphic Most flowers are actinomorphic ("star shaped"‚ "radial")‚ meaning they can be divided into 3 or more identical sectors which are related to each other by rotation about the centre of the flower. Typically‚ each sector would contain one petal‚ one sepal and so on. It may or may not be possible to divide the flower into symmetrical halves by the same number of longitudinal planes passing through the axis: Oleander is an example of a flower without such mirror planes. Actinomorphic flowers are also

first read‚ it might seem like an innocent tale about a woman and her garden. However‚ upon further examination‚ the reader learns it is actually a story about a woman’s desires and frustrations in her life. Steinbeck uses many examples‚ such as the flowers to symbolize the thoughts and ideas of the main character‚ Elisa‚ in this story. Elisa Allen is a lonesome woman who gets pleasure from growing her chrysanthemums. Since her husband‚ Henry‚ is constantly working with the cattle in their

As you may know‚ the bees are vanishing. Most people may say‚ “ehh bees aren’t important‚ they just make honey”. Which is not true‚ bees play a huge role in our daily life. Did you know that bees pollinate one third of out diet? Without bees there wouldn’t be apples‚ oranges‚ melons or broccoli. Most people just don’t understand the seriousness of this problem! There has been a lot of misunderstanding and confusion when it comes to the reasoning of this bee problem. Up to this day there still

is studying a species of butterfly that has expanded its range into a new area over the last thirty years. The butterflies in the new area feed on a species of flower that has a deeper throat than the flowers exploited by the butterfly species in its original range. The average length of the proboscis that is used to suck nectar from flowers is also greater in butterflies that inhabit the new area. The butterfly collector makes a very valid hypothesis saying that the butterflies have adapted and evolved

microsporogenesis and megasporogenesis. In what portion(s) of the flower does each of these processes occur? What is the end product of each process? Microsporogenesis produces our microspores. It occurs in the sporangia of the anther in flowers. Four haploid microspores are produced when the mother cell undergoes meiosis. Each microspore develops into a pollen grain. Megasporogenesis occurs in the sporangium of the ovule of a flower. After meiosis‚ the embryo sac is produced (egg‚ nucei‚ antipodal
