In The Botany of Desire; A Plant’s Eye View of the World, Michael Pollan explores the co-evolutionary relationship between humans and plants. In four chapters, he discusses the four fundamental human desires—sweetness, beauty, intoxication, and control—through the plants that satisfy these desires: the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato. More specifically, in the Potato chapter, Pollan discusses the associated human desire for control that links us with the potato. Pollan interjects a…

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans, use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The site of photosynthesis is the chloroplast, which are disc-shaped organelles found in the mesophyll of the leaf in the palisade layer. They have outer and inner membranes with an inner membrane space between them. The stroma in the middle of the chloroplast contain membrane discs…

community garden on campus teaches the community to care for the earth. Meanwhile, this properly teaches them new skills such as gardening, and harvesting the plants. Visiting the garden was a beautiful and delightful experience, the women who told us about the garden were extremely sweet and informative. They advised us on the best season to plant and garden specific vegetables. Gardens such as this one bring people together; likewise our garden is a calm, and happy environment for people. It…

Plants are essential for life on earth; they are the backbone of all life. Plants are considered as autotrophic organisms, seeing as they are able to produce their own food. They are a crucial resource for many different uses, as plants are primary producers; everything we eat comes directly or indirectly from them (Schaffner, 2010). They provide a whole range of useful products, including food, fibres for cloth, and energy sources. Wood, coal and natural gas are all sourced from plants, these…

process where plants use light energy and convert it into chemical energy is called photosynthesis. Plants have parts of them like the chlorophyll that is present inside the chloroplast that soak in light starting a process that will end up making ATP. Carbohydrates within the plants are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water. When photosynthesis occurs then sunlight is turned into sugar and this sugar is kept in the molecular bonds of the sugar molecules that are present within the plant.…

wanted to test the effects of what multiple chemicals had on Lemna minor. This is also known as duckweed. The chemicals we tested all are harmful, as they do not treat the life cycle of these plants well being in their water. What is Lemna Minor you may ask well stated above it is also known as duckweed but more information helps you know that it is found in ponds and it grows at a rapid rate according to the (USDA.) Lemna Minor is also a summer plant so in the winter months of cold areas you…

effected the growth of the Tomato plants. My prediction was that the fertilised plant will grow more then the plants that were water. The fertilied plants will grow more because the fertiliser has element that the water cant give the plants that make it grow. The elements that fertiliser has is nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This is why the fertilised plants grew so much.The experminent was used to investigate the difference between the growth of Tomato plants with fertiliser and with…

in Hawai‘i. Just a small population can rapidly grow, damaging or eliminating all other plants in its path; most which is native plants (tree, shrub, fern, and herbs). Studies have shown that within a long period of time, four herbicides can greatly influence the decrease of the raspberry. The Yellow Himalayan Raspberry originated in Southern Asia. This plant is a shrub with edible fruit which made this plant come to Hawai‘i in about 1960. The berry is used for food, honey, tanning, and dye…

Most animals and plants live on water as well, and can be easily affected by it as human beings will. They are susceptible to the chemicals in the water, which can either drastically change their lifestyles due to changing food supplies and the like to such dire consequences such as death. On the Office of Response and Restoration’s website, they state that light oils display two hazards. Some can ignite and explode, but are mainly toxic. It can kill animals and plants upon touch, even…
