Biology Assignment Transpiration rates between Exotic vs. Native plants In this investigation we will be looking at transpiration. The topic we will be focusing on is transpiration rates between native plants as well as exotic plants. We will be experimenting with 2 native plants as well as 2 exotic plants. The reason we are experimenting on this topic is because of Australia’s dry weather‚ we are wanting to find out which plants will be able to hold more water during Australia’s peaking tempretures

It was during these days of phantoms and unseen spirits that a young and beautiful girl lived. Her name was Raya‚ and she was a girl bold and daring

Plant Transport Plants are mostly made up of water. Lettuce is about 94% water and a potato is about 77% water. Plants need water for three main purposes: ------photosynthesis‚ -support -transport of chemicals Water is a raw material for photosynthesis. If water is in short supply‚ the rate of photosynthesis will be limited. Plants need water for support‚ otherwise they wilt. Water is needed to transport many chemicals within plants. Chemicals‚ such as mineral salts‚ dissolve in water and

Plants and humans are perhaps the most important organisms‚ however‚ us humans‚ have caused the death of thousands of plants by starting fires and by cutting down trees for things such as paper and furniture. Plants make oxygen which is very important for our survival; we can’t live without it. In the year 2003 alone‚ 774500 acres of land‚ that contained not only threes but animals too‚ were burned in California (Jane Strong‚ 2003). Some of this land was burned due to natural fires but some of it

The C4 & CAM Pathway Many plant species that evolved in hot‚ dry climates fix carbon through alternative pathways. Under hot and dry conditions‚ plants can rapidly lose water to the air through small pores called stomata. Stomata (singular‚ stoma)‚ are usually located on the undersurface of the leaves. Plants can reduce water loss by partially closing their stomata when the air is hot and dry. Stomata are the major passageways through which CO2 enters and O2 leaves a plant. When a plant’s stomata are

Investigating the Effects of Plant growth within Abstract This experiment was conducted to determine whether or not those plants can grow in low fertilized‚ less sun light and the control group. Each group had there own task of making sure that the plants were always water‚ each plant had the same amount of light on them. When the plants started to evolve each individual plant was measured of the height. Most of the plants grew faster than others but over the period the plants that grew faster started

A plants volatile organic compound (VOC) composition is the hand that swats unwanted visitors‚ welcomes visitation from much needed pollinators‚ and the substantial determinant in a plants identity and overall evolutionary fitness within the plant community. Understanding the mechanics of volatile formation is essential in interpreting their importance in plant life‚ and in plant-animal interactions. A huge allocation of energy is assumed to be given to the production of volatiles‚ and is therefore
