TITLE - How does plant growth get affected when it’s provided a different type of water? Independent Variable - Weeks Dependent Variable - Plant’s growth in Meters PURPOSE - The purpose of the lab was to test plant’s growth level when it was given different sources of water for 3 weeks. BACKGROUND INFORMATION - Water is affecting our nature, humans, all living organisms because water can sometimes be toxic to anyone and mostly to plants. Plants need sufficient water that is good quality and

Salvia officinalis is a hardy perennial plant that grows up to three to four feet in height which blossoms most commonly blue-violet flowers in the summer. This plant is estimated to live a maximum of four years. They vary in size, leaf, foliage patterns and flower colour. Typically the leaves are oblong with rounded ends ranging in size up to 2.5 inches long by 1 inch wide (Lust 2014). The leaves are usually a greenish grey hue on the upper side and virtually white underneath due to many soft hairs

Introduction To Biology The article that caught my attention Mighty Old Trees Are Perishing Fast, Study Warns (Robbins, 2012) because all life depends on plants and the leaves that are on trees. Plants and trees grow everywhere on earth. And if trees are dying, than how will our ecosystem survive? The reasons the trees are dying are due to being infected with a fungal disease, fires, infestation of insects, and weather based on where the trees are located. A research team said that

Many extinct species—from the passenger pigeon to the woolly mammoth—might now be reclassified as "bodily, but not genetically, extinct." They're dead, but their DNA is recoverable from museum specimens and fossils, even those up to 200,000 years old. Thanks to new developments in genetic technology, that DNA may eventually bring the animals back to life. Only species whose DNA is too old to be recovered, such as dinosaurs, are the ones to consider totally extinct, bodily and genetically. Useful

Marine Biomes Shonda Morton October 20, 2013 SCI/230 Paula Roberts A marine biome is a large aquatic zone that takes up almost 75% of Earth’s surface, has a salt concentration around 3%, and is distinguished from other biomes by its physical environment. According to Campbell Essential Biology with Physiology, (2010), the habitats of a marine biome varies depending on the level of the sea that it exists (pp.382). The layers or “zones” that make up the marine biome

The plant body consists of two basic parts: the shoot system and the root system. The Root System * Underground (usually) * Anchor the plant in the soil * Absorb water and nutrients * Conduct water and nutrients * Food Storage The Shoot System * Above ground (usually) * Elevates the plant above the soil * Many functions including: * photosynthesis * reproduction & dispersal * food and water conduction * Note: the shoot system

sun. When it comes to plants the chloroplasts capture sunlight and use it as an energy source to create ATPs which in turn is used to make organic molecules like sugar. The energy stored in molecules is passed from one trophic level to the next in stages in the food chain.The ultimate fate of energy in ecosystems is for it to be lost as heat, the rest of the energy and nutrients are passed from organism to organism through the food chain as one organism eats another.

The Pretty Green Leaf You smoke marijuana for medicinal use, and you grow it, yourself? “Hell yes!” was the response from many members of this meeting. I was dreading this fourth Monday of the month. I was just too curious to pass it up. I knew I had to be there to find out how this subculture really was. I kept reminding myself, of how I grew up. In foster homes, you see a lot of terrible things. This can’t be that bad. The meeting started. The members the members sat casually and socialized

timing was a key factor because spring was late in coming to Mount St. Helens that year, and so there were still drifts of snow covering the understory of many sections of the forest, protecting the plant and animal species buried beneath them. The snowmelt also protected many of the trees and other plants that typically dominate the understory of the forest, particularly on the north side of the mountain. These saved species provided spots of green even right after the eruption when the snow melted
