    Bio 210-01: Plant Sexual Reproduction System

    The zygote divides multiple times by mitosis in order to produce an embryo. The embryo then differentiates to become a plumule, radicle, and/ or one or two cotyledons, which is attached to the wall of the embryo sac by a suspensor. Endosperm tissue is produced by the primary endosperm nucleus dividing multiple times by mitosis. This endosperm stores food for later use by the seed in some cases. It may gradually disappear as the cotyledons develop in others. The embryo sac expands to support growth, and the nucellus is crushed out of existence, which in return give nutrients to the embryo and endosperm. The integuments that surround the embryo sac become a tough, protective seed coat called testa. The micropyle is not removed to continue the intake of oxygen and water at germination. The water content of the seed decreases to prepare the seed for dormancy. The wall of the ovary becomes the pericarp, which is the fruit wall with the entire ovary now being fruit. The fruit protects the seeds and aid in…

    Percipitation Levels and the Affects to Beak Size

    The experiments proved that over time, the birds on the island with the least amount of precipitation had larger beaks. The birds’ beaks were larger because they adapted to the new type of food source of larger, harder seeds. The population of the finches on Darwin Island was considerably larger for the first two hundred years. At one point, the populations were almost identical even though the beak sizes were dramatically different. This experiment will provide data that proves precipitation levels affect the beak sizes and the population of finches.…

    Evolution Of The Tube-Lipped Nectar Thron

    Anoura fistulata, otherwise known as the tube-lipped nectar bat, is a nectarivorous species endemic to South America (Mantilla-Meluk et al. 2009). A. fistulata specializes in feeding on the nectar and pollen from larger flowering plants, but also frequently hunts insects to round out it’s diet (Muchhala et al. 2005). However, unlike other species of the same genus A. fistulata has co-evolved as a pollinator of the bellflower Centropogon nigricans (Muchhala et al. 2009). C. nigricans has developed a nectar-bearing corolla that is approximately 8 cm long–around 4 cm longer than most pollinating bat species can reach–and a downward facing stamen tube hanging above the entrance (Muchhala et al. 2005). C. nigricans flowers only open for approximately…

    Coca Cola Company Act Of 1934

    In addition to concentrates and syrups for sparkling beverages and flavored still beverages, we also sell concentrates (in powder form) for purified water products such as Dasani to authorized bottling operations. Authorized bottlers and canners either combine our syrups with sparkling water or combine our concentrates with sweeteners (depending on the product), still water and/or sparkling water to produce finished sparkling beverages. The finished sparkling beverages are packaged in authorized containers bearing our trademarks or trademarks licensed to us—such as cans and refillable and nonrefillable glass and plastic bottles (‘‘bottle/can products’’)—and are then sold to retailers (‘‘bottle/can retailers’’) or, in some cases, wholesalers. For our fountain products in the United States, we manufacture fountain syrups and sell them to authorized fountain wholesalers and some fountain retailers. The wholesalers are authorized to sell the Company’s fountain syrups by a nonexclusive appointment from us that neither restricts us in setting the prices at which we sell fountain syrups to the wholesalers nor restricts the territory in which the wholesalers may resell in the United States. Outside the United States, fountain syrups typically are manufactured by authorized bottlers from concentrates sold to them by the Company. The bottlers then typically sell the…

    Migration of Vanessa Butterflies

    Migration of Vanessa Butterflies

    Vanessa butterflies inhabit numerous continents around the world, which may include Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas (Stefanescu et al., 2007). Vanessa is a genus of brush-footed butterflies of the family Nymphalidae (Stefanescu et al., 2007) They are described as Holarctic species, which refers to habitats throughout the northern continents of the world (Stefanescu, 2001). They are seen mostly in open meadows and fields near streams (Stefanescu, 2001). Their populations are not permanent because to survive they need to be in relatively sunlit places that provide the appropriate host plants for protection and reproduction (Vandenbosch, 2003). They also need the proper plants that provide nectar for their consumption (Vandenbosch, 2003). At all life stages, Vanessa butterflies are incapable of surviving in cold temperatures (Vandenbosch, 2003). Due to this fact, Vanessa butterflies migrate (Stefansecu, 2001). The butterflies migrate in the winter towards the more southern regions and then upon their arrival, begin an intensive breeding period (Stefanescu, 2001). Throughout the winter, the larvae develop (Stefanescu, 2001). In the early spring, the new generation of adult butterflies appear (Stefanescu, 2001). These new adult butterflies migrate back to the northern regions in search of more host plants or better available resources (Stefanescu et al., 2007). In the southern regions, the summers are too dry and hot and the Vanessa butterflies would not survive these harsh conditions (Stefanescu et al., 2007). The migration process continues when winter approaches since the butterflies would lack proper survival resources and must travel back to the southern regions (Stafanescu et al., 2007). The Vanessa butterflies are forced to migrate continuously because in order to survive, they require proper amounts of food, shelter, and reproductive grounds.…
