Plant cells have a cell wall, vacuole. Under the microscope the most dominant characteristic you can see to identify the cell is the membrane, nucleus and structure of the cell, structure meaning the shape of the cell and the proximity between the cells. By observing the sample pictures of plant and animal cells before the investigation, we noticed that plant cells structure is more angular and has a cell wall which appears denser. Animal cells structure appears more oblong and have a softer looking
However, after investigation through gel electrophoresis, the three kinds of plants were not identical. This relates to the
However, the Vmax values for the avocado are much higher than the values for the banana or the mushroom. It would appear that the avocado and banana are more closely related because the enzyme showed similar affinity for the alternative substrates. This makes sense because on the tree of life mushrooms and green plants split long before monocots and dicots split. Meaning that monocots and dicots are more closely related than they are to mushroom. In this study, the avocado comes from a dicot and the banana comes from a
Science 1. Free ears in dogs are controlled by dominant allele (F), and attached ears are controlled by the recessive allele (f). In addition, Short dogs is due to a dominant allele(S), and long hair is due to a recessive allele (s). Which of the following is the genotype of the dogs with free ears and short hair? a. ffss b. FfSs c. ffSs d. Ffss 2.
I think the movie Simon Birch and the book The Chrysalids go together extremely well, and really help create a full picture of what it means to be made in the image of God. In both the movie and the book, we see persecution because the way someone was made. Perhaps The Chrysalids more extreme than Simon Birch. In The Chrysalids we see that if anyone differs from what is thought to be “normal” then they are considered blasphemy, and either sent away or even killed. They even had a definition of what a man is, “The definition of man recited itself in my head: ‘and each leg shall be joined twice and have one foot, and each foot five toes, and each toe shall end with a flat nail…’ and so on, until finally: ‘And any creature that shall seem to be human, but is not formed thus is not human.
The interesting question scientists raised is, can we relate to them? The answer is ‘yes’. For instance, the genes necessary to tell a plant whether it is light or dark, time cell division, and promote the proper functioning of the immune system are contained within the human genome as well. (Armstrong) “People have to realize that plants are complex organisms that live rich, sensual lives.” (Scientific American) Plants smell, taste, feel pain, have memory, and communicate.
Sclerenchyma cells are the main support but die when the plant grows up. My third question was “Do humans have an epidermis as well?”.
These complex organisms consist of two organ systems, the root system and the shoot system. The shoot system is an above ground organelle system, this is where the leaves, stems, buds, flowers (depending on the plant) and fruits (depending on the plant) are found. Thus, therefore, meaning that the root system is the below ground system and includes the roots, rhizomes and tubers. There are three types of plant cells which are formed in the meristem (tissue in most plants that contain undifferentiated cells, the cells produced here help various organs of the plant and help with the growth of the plant.) The first plant tissue grouping is Dermal, the Dermal system looks after the covering of the plant, and can be broken down into many subsystems.
In both the Metamorphoses and The Bacchae, there is an emphasis on the relationship between god and man. First, in the Metamorphoses, each story describes a transformation. In many of the stories, the gods are involved in the transformations of humans to animals as the result of an obstruction of power between the two (Ovid 194). Likewise, The Bacchae also exhibits physical transformations as one of its main themes. Again, this involves the power of a god being inserted over humans (Euripides 56).
Phylum Cnidarian a. Feeding Cnidarians have only one opening called the gastrovascular cavity. This is where the food enters and the waste leaves. Cnidarians are hunters. They paralyze their prey before putting it in their mouth.
The Animalia Kingdom of Protista, is one of the most complex kingdoms to be discovered. Its organisms are greatly complex and unique, including but not limited to Euglenoid. For this investigation cells of Euglena gracilis were exposed to one of two different environments, before being observed for structural and behavioural differences under light microscopy. The E. gracilis were grown in a synthetic pond water ( 0.06g 〖CaCl〗_(2 ),1.00g NaCl and 0.04g KCl in 1L of DI water) and placed into either a sunlight exposed transparent container, or an opaque container kept in a dark surrounding. During testing the organisms were placed into a methyl cellulose solution to slow cell movement for accurate observations.
The fungus grew rapidly with a colony diameter that ranged from 55-70 mm after 5 days of incubation at 28-30 ˚C. A. niger showed white color at the beginning and turned black with rough/ granular surface as the colony matures. The reverse side is pale yellow in color when the mold was still young and quickly turned brown with cleft/ fissures when it matured. The mycelia of the fungus were hyaline and septated. Conidiophores were also found to be hyaline and bore a globose vesicle which was covered entirely by phialides that radiated around the vesicle and appeared to be biserate. The conidia were globose with dark
Rebecca Dwyer 215 033 159 “The Advantages of a Dominant Sporophyte over a Dominant Gametophyte” It is commonly known by most people that the planet that humans call home is inhabited by many other diverse forms of life. Further than this, it is evident that a large percentage of these life forms are plants. This could be seen as a slight paradox- plants can be considered more primitive than animals, because they are incapable of movement in order to escape from predation, or to reach close contact distance with other organisms for the purpose of reproduction. How then, one could ask, has the survival of the plant kingdom been so successful?
Hypothetical Method in Action: “The Intelligent Plant” The article, “The Intelligent Plant” by Michael Pollan, explores the intricate ways of plants and the human understanding of how they function without a neurological brain. It navigates the questions of whether plants can think, learn, be conscious, or feel pain, citing several studies and experiments conducted to prove these concepts. One mentioned study conducted by Monica Gagliano focused on the Mimosa pudica, a plant species with observable reaction speeds, to test the ability of plants to learn. Pollan used this and other experiments to prove plants exhibit intelligent behavior.
Introduction Plants are a major necessity in the balance of nature, people’s lives, and our terrain. We may not realize it, but plants are the ultimate source of food for almost 95% of the world population so says the National Group of Food. It’s a fact that over 7,000 species of plants are being consumed today. Plants are one of the reasons that we get clean water; as they help regulate the water cycle.
