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.
Be certain to describe three or more ways in which the plant cell and the solar cell are similar to each other, as well as three or more ways in which they are different from each other. In addition
What is the relationship between an increase in light intensity and photosynthetic rate in leaves from a corn plant? How does this relationship compare with tomato plants.
In the absence of the light reactions of photosynthesis, which components would be required to make the Calvin cycle proceed.
Explain the process of CAM photosynthesis using native plants as examples of the process in action. Feel free to consult outside sources for additional data to support your discussion.
The whooping crane population was down to twenty-one individuals in 1944. Today there are more than 300. What can you speculate about their genetic diversity and what this means to their long-term s
Humans shape their environment in ways that other organisms cannot. Are humans subject to the same pressures of natural selection as other organisms? Why or why not.
What are some events that facilitate rapid evolution.
(a) Why we use scientific names written in Latin (and sometimes Greek) and (b) The importance of binomial nomenclature in naming organisms. Give examples of three scientific names (in correct binomi

You are investigating the Bmp4 gene, which is involved in beak development, in the Darwin's finch Geospiza fortis. You find a DNA polymorphism, a single-base difference between two alleles at this
Genetic differences between humans & chimps What are the differences between human, chimpanzee and their common ancestor, on the chromosome and genome levels.
In what ways are species more "fluid" than even 20th century biologists might have believed? To what extent was Darwin's description of species as "convenient constructions" accurate? Are species re
Why do the sizes of populations tend to remain fairly stable despite the large numbers of offspring which can be produced.
