regarding the garden. Additionally, 70% of plants grown would be perennial plants such as fruit trees, strawberry plants, and grapevines (mostly fruits) as opposed to annual plants like sweet corn and potatoes. By making most of my plants perennial I will be able to save money as well as reduce erosion. The early stages of the perennial plants would be grown in our school’s small greenhouse kept by the student FFA chapter. The other 30% of plants will be annual plants started from seeds and…

either intentionally or accidentally and can very quickly and aggressively reproduce and take over an area. Plants that are considered to be invasive have certain characteristics in common that makes them invasive such as: they produce many seeds, grow vigorously, and have few predators or competition for resources (light, water, nutrients, etc.). Garlic mustard is a good example of an invasive plant. Originally brought over from Europe to North America by early European settlers, the herb was…

simple breeding techniques. These Brassica rapa plants develop remarkably quickly, flowering between thirteen and eighteen days after being planted. These plants are relatively small but need a continuous amount of water and cool white fluorescent lighting. Students in the botany lab were told to conduct experiments and to conduct research using the Brassica rapa. The purpose of the experiment was to examine step by step the life cycle of the “Fast Plant” Brassica rapa. Other purposes for the…

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…

animals nor plants can acquire it directly, but must rely on the assistance of prokaryotes, free-living and symbiotic bacteria, able to fix nitrogen and transform it into a useful element. Cyanobacteria in aquatic systems, azotobacter in the soil and Rhizobium bacteria that lives symbiotically at the roots of leguminous plants, all draw nitrogen from the atmosphere and transform it into ammonia, (NH3), or nitrate, (NO3), important nutrients for plant growth (Bear et al, 2013). Plants…

to grow during the summer months. In 2013, the population estimate was 197,000 caribou (Land:Caribou). The birth and death rate of caribou yearly is fairly equal, and depends strongly upon the weather. Harsh weather conditions can kill many of the plants that the caribou eat, or they can be covered in snow and be hard to…

Each group was assigned a specific ratio of seeds to plant in their flat. With varying amounts of buckwheat and oat, each group had a total seed count of 100. My group, Group One, received 100 oat seeds, Group Two received 75 oat seeds and 25 buckwheat seeds, Group Three received 50 oat seeds and 50 buckwheat…

Why do weeds always like to take the flower soil. I have always wondered why do you have to pull weed’s from your garden? Well the reason is because the weed’s will take your plant nutrients and kill the plant's. Weed’s and flowers do have similarities like needing sun and needing water. But weeds will always overpower the flowers. Weeds and flowers have a ton in common like they both spread pretty fast, but weeds do spread faster than flowers. The reason weed’s spread faster than flowers…

inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems themselves. Floristic diversity refers to the variety and variability of plants in a region. Floristic structure is considered as one of the major exceptional characters of the community (Dansereau, 1960) and therefore any disturbances in phytodiversity is projected to change the community organization. It is considered…
