Fireweed, also known as rosebay willowherb and narrow-leaf fireweed, is a perennial wildflower that grows in many areas of the United States. The plant can reach a height of 5 feet and produces small pinkish-purple flowers. As long as you live in a climate with adequate moisture, you can grow this plant by planting the seeds directly in the ground. Fireweed can become dormant during hot summer weather. The plant will require some care to promote health and growth. 1.) Select an area with full to partial

Plantae All land plants experience alternation of generations. Two distinct phases exist: A diploid sporophyte alternates with a haploid gametophyte. (In reality these phases represent two body forms of the same organism). The gametophyte produces gametes (eggs and/or sperm). A diploid sporophyte produces spores by meiosis. Sporophytes and gametophytes look distinctly different from one another (heteromorphic). Mosses and Ferns Phylum Hepatophyta (Liverworts) The plants are called liverworts

ever heard of microwaving plant seeds to see if they would speed up the process? I think it will because it will heat up the seeds just like the sun. It takes six to seven days for crops to sprout. If my hypothesis is correct then it will take about four to five days until crops start to sprout. This experiment might change the environment. If plant seeds are exposed to microwave radiation, then the growing process will increase. Since heating the seeds up is similar to how the sun heats the seeds

Fruit: Nature's Candy Most people, and many animals around the world, love to eat fruit. But why are some fruits sweet and some sour, whereas others have no specific taste? Well it all has to do with the amount of glucose (sugar) and acid is given in a single fruit. More glucose equals more sweet, while more acid equals more sour. In most fruits, when the fruit is new, or raw, the more acid it has in it. But as it matures, the acid leaves and glucose is formed, making it more sweet. For example

Introduction “Earth and Mars have a lot in common. They formed around the same time -- about 4.6 billion years ago -- and, as on Earth, a Martian day lasts about 24 hours (Ross, 2016, p.8). This is one of the many reasons why humans should colonize Mars. Humans should colonize Mars because it is the closest planet to Earth within the habitable zone, also with current technology it is the most feasible planet that is within reach of Earth. Colonizing Mars would help Earth with its problems with resources

cure who knows how many diseases and even bring people back to life from a simple DNA cell. But even though all these things could be possibly, people are still against it. The idea that is going to change the world all started in 1885 by a German scientist named Hans Spemann. According to Utah Genetics, Spemann was the first person to split an embryo and went on to win a Nobel

Assignment : Yeast and it’s Phyllum Yeast is naturally growing fungi that grows as a single cell, producing daughter cells either through budding (budding yeast) or by binary fission. They differ from most fungi as most fungi grow as a threadlike hyphae. Yeast is used in baking purpose or fermentation where it helps the dough or the grapes to release carbon dioxide and alcohol. Yeast grows mostly in moist environments where there is a good supply of nutrients such as carbohydrates and amino acids

flower with no roots would it grow? The answer is no, a plant is more complicated than that. A plant is made up from different sections which each section plays a role in the growth and the maintaining of the plant. The plant is made up of four or five sections depending on the plant, the root, the stem, the leaves, the flower, and the fruit. Without those following ingredients there would be no plants, no trees, and no air to breathe. Realize how important a plant is why it’s something you should
