All the bananas we eat come from trees that are produced through "cuttings" ? a stem from an existing tree is planted in the ground, resulting in a new tree.
Stands of aspen trees often are a series of genetically identical individuals, with each succeeding tree growing from the severed shoot of another tree.
You are a forensic scientist and have been asked to identify a white, unlabeled powder recovered from the scene of a crime. As a first step, you're interested in learning if the compound is polar or
Which type of visible light is made available for plants grown under the clear, red, green, or blue plastic.
What is the evolutionary significance of the Chlorophyta? Why is Chlamydomonas an important member of this group.
If you were looking for mosses, what are some of the characteristics of the habitats in which you would took? Explain your answer based on your knowledge of bryophyte life history.
Why do mosses and ferns both require free water to complete their life cycles? At what stage of the life cycle is the water required? Do angiosperms also require water to complete their life cycles?
Plants absorb light energy using special molecules called photosynthetic pigments (predominantly chlorophylls). These pigments absorb most of the visible light except for wavelengths in the green pa
Atractyloside is a glycoside found in certain plants that leads to herbal poisoning worldwide, wspecially in Africa and the Mediterranean regions. How does atractyloside affect mitochondrial respira
During a study on desert plants the scientist had 2 identical plots with annual wildflowers in both plots. One plot was enclosed to keep out herbivores such as the kangaroo rat.
Discussion of why mouldy foods should not be consumed. Includes a brief description of "Aflatoxins", as well as what consumers can do to assess the risk/benefit ratio when a mouldy food is encounter
Start with an Introduction/Observation and move through the steps of the Scientific Method as outlined below. Your paper should follow this format. Remember, you don't have to actually do the experi
After completing the table you will have a basic understanding of these two complementary metabolic processes. Using what you have learned, and additional reference information, answer the following
Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, a simple sugar, in two steps, the light dependent and light independent reactions. Oxygen is produced as a by product during
Both reactions are examples of complex metabolic pathways, consisting of many linked reactions. Briefly, explain the role of enzymes in chemical reactions and metabolic pathways.
Angiosperms (flowering plants) are the largest Phylum in the Plant Kingdom (Angiospermophyta is also called Anthophyta or Magnoliophyta).
Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, a simple sugar, in two steps, the light dependent and light independent reactions.
Using a Venus Flytrap as my subject please explain and give tips how this can be accomplished or is this a good plant to select.
What is the name given to the types of organisms that can use photosynthesis to produce glucose? In addition, provide (3)THREE specific examples.
Find an angiosperm that has modified leaves, stems, roots or flowers that do not function in the normal manner, or that function in an unusual manner. Exzmple: A California Barrel Cactus has spines
Based upon the definition of biotechnology, describe how this biotechnology application is an example of biotechnology.
With these anatomical features in mind, do some research to find an angiosperm that has modified leaves, stems, roots or flowers that do not function in the normal manner, or that function in an unu
The biochemical pathway by which SDA is produced in the modified soya plants is shown in the diagram attached. The fatty acids and transformation shown in black occur naturally in unmodified soya.
Not all light wavelengths penetrate equally in water. Consequently, plants that live relatively deep in the sea have leaves that look reddish when brought to the surface.
I think will accelerate photosynthesis and growth of plant, then again plants do not uptake CO2 at night so there would be an accumalation and this would seem pointless.
