scene, however, put any fears ofmenacing goo or alien creatures to rest by identifying the mass as an unusually large(46 centimeters or more than 14 inches in diameter) plasmodial slime mold. (CostelloDLC. 2015)Slime molds are made up of individual cells that form an aggregate mass. In theirvisible, aggregate states, they look like blobs, gooey or foamy masses, spilled jelly, oreven dog vomit. They may be bright orange, red, yellow, brown, black, blue, or white. .(Costello DLC. 2015) These large…

when Trembley first watched Hydra viridis, he believed that they were plants and not animals on account of their appearance, green colour and immobility. Trembley at that point watched that the body withdrawals and relaxations and the movement of the body happens when the encompassing water was bothered. Their shape and colour still established a connection on Trembley, and he started to view them as extremely delicate plants. This influenced Trembley to cut the polyps and watched them for…

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…

Many plants, such as Spinacia oleracea (Spinach) uses a process called Photosynthesis and Respiration to produce glucose and oxygen (O2). During photosynthesis, light, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are required to begin the process. Light is absorbed by the plant’s chlorophyll, while CO2 is absorbed through the stomata and H2O is absorbed by the cells of the root hairs. The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 (Glucose). Plants are able to absorb all colors of the visible…

Chrysanthemum are flowering plants native of northern eastern Europe and East Asia. However, this particular species of Chrysanthemum, belliam, was recently discovered in the western part of Africa, around the Gold Coast. The coastal climate of this region in Africa has produced an abundance of Chrysanthemum belliam, so lets take an indepth look at this beautiful unique organism and its functions. Like all organisms, the Chrysanthemum belliam consists of many microscopic cells. Since it is a…

What is marijuana? “Cannabis, also known as marijuana among other names, is a psychoactive drug from the Cannabis plant intended for medical or recreational use.” Another names for marijuana are Boom, Bud, Chronic, Gangster, Ganja, Grass, Herb, Kif, Mary Jane, MJ, Pot, Reefer, Skunk, and Weed. Marijuana is one of the most dangerous drugs in the world and people smoke it because of their mental and physical effects. Gives you a feeling of "high" or "stoned", a general change in attitude, euphoria…

Plant Material Collection Fully grown whole plants of Tribulus terrestris Linn. were collected from different localities of Chennai, Tamilnadu. The fruits were separated out from the plants and washed in running tap water to remove adhering dirt and soil particles and dried first under shade in room temperature and secondly in a hot-air oven for complete drying at 50-60˚C. The dried fruits were made into coarse powder by grinding and stored in labelled bottles for further study and…

How does light filtration affect the rate of photosynthesis? Introduction: Photosynthesis is an essential process plants use to convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy, released as glucose. Some of the limiting factors of photosynthesis include temperature, amount of light, the concentration of carbon dioxide, availability of water and the concentration of chlorophyll. Fig.1- The word and symbol equations for photosynthesis. The aim of the practical is to model the rate of…

Data Analysis: Microwave Radiation and Plant Growth How does radiation affect the growth of plants? If seeds are exposed to microwave radiation then the growth process will increase. Get three seeds of the same type of vegetable (cucumbers were used in this experiment). Before planting, microwave plant cell #2 for 15 seconds and plant cell #3 for 30 seconds (plant cell #1 is not microwaved at all). After planting them, see the difference in the growth of these seeds over 35 days. The…
