The plants were collected using aquatic nets, shovels, and by hand. The plants collected was then put into a bucket or bag and was label with the collection site and the date with a sharpie. If buckets was a storage for plants then a couple of inches of water was added. Once the plants were collected they were not exposed to the sun because they could desiccate. All storage containers for the plants were sealed secure before leaving the collection site. Forty five clean buckets were labeled…

(Investigating Plant Cells 4). They convert solar energy into sugars that can be used by the plant. The cell wall is the layer outside in…

response of a plant to touch or vibration) and how it utilizes the transport of K+ in the pulvinar cells (the thickening at the base of a leaflet that causes the movement of the leaflet based on differing turgor pressure in these cells). They tested many hypotheses regarding the seismonastic reaction in the Mimosa pudica, one of which tested whether there was an increased efflux of K+ from pulvinar cells during stimulation. The experimenters used all home-grown Mimosa pudica (sensitive…

studied a white flowered plant with green berries and un-toothed leaves (most likely Solanum schlechtendalianum) from the genus Solanum, as it was abundant in Las Joyas and occurred in patches, which was essential to our study design. Data Collection We collected data from 16 different patches (see Appendix A for coordinates) in the cloud and pine-oak forests of Las Joyas. A patch was defined as an area that has the Solanum plant in high density, where neighbouring plants are all within a…

Roses aren’t a plant that will be able to last forever in just a vase with water. Believe it or not, they actually do need nutrients daily and a good amount of sunlight to even last 10 days! Studies show that bleach and/or sugar can actually help cut flowers live for longer periods of time. The average lifespan of a cut rose is 4-12 days, which isn’t very long. An experiment will be conducted to prove the theory that bleach and/or sugar improves the lifespan of a cut rose. The most important…

older lesions. The fungus causes infected leaves to turn yellow and drop from the plants. The lifecycle of the septoria brown spot fungus begins when it overwinters in crop residue, infected seed, leaf and stem debris as minute brown fruiting bodies (pycnidia). The microscopic spores produced on living tissues or dead plants are released during wet weather. Wind and rainfall disperses the spores onto healthy plants, and infection begins. Favorable…

ultraviolet rays and light rays. Photosynthesis is the way in which some specialised bateria and green plants use their chlorophyll to trap light energy and then use this energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen. The green colour in plants is from the chemical chlorophyll which is found in the chloroplasts in the cells of the plant. It is very concentrated in the leaves of the plants due to the surface of the leaf being flat which allows it to have a very big surface area…

Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is one the most important life processes that happens on earth. It is the process plants use to create their own food by converting water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen using light energy. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2. There are many things in the environment however that can help or hinder this process. In this report I will be explaining 3 structures in the leaf that allow it to carry out photosynthesis,…

Fair Research Paper Plants are one of the most diverse and important organisms that live on this planet. They provide us with energy, clean air to breathe, and sometimes even valuable, life-saving medicine. It seems fit, then, that we should know more about these incredible life forms and how we can grow them in our own backyards. To fully understand the being of the plant, we must first look in the micro world of the plant cell. There are three distinct parts of the plant with different…
