3.01 Plant Categorization and ProductsWorksheetNote: If you cannot complete this lab as directed, please contact your instructor for assistance.Part 1: ClassificationChoose anytwoplants from the chart below. For each one, complete the taxonomy chart. You can find the needed information from areliable resource online or at the library. Use these tutorials if you need to review how to find reliable resources or how to cite yoursources.Nonvascular plantsNonflowering plantsSeedless vascular plantsFlowering plantsApple mossChihuahua spruce treeGiant horsetailAmerican red raspberryPeat mossGinko biloba treeEagle fernDarwin’s cottonFill in the charts below with the plants you chose. Note that you may see the term "division" or "clade" sometimes used in place of"phylum." You may edit the charts as needed and note below if you did so.Plant OneCommon name: Ginko biloba treeComplete the classification with as much information as possible:DomainEukaryotaKingdomPlanteePhylumGinkgophytaClassGinkgoopsidaOrderGinkgoalesFamilyGinkgoaceaeGenusGinkgoSpeciesGInkgo BilobaWhat is the plant’s scientific name?

Part 2: CropsChoose two crops that you would like to learn more about. For each one, complete the questions below. Be sure to use reliable resources,write in your own words, and cite your sources.Crop One1.Name of crop:Corn2.What type of crop is this (food, industry, etc.)?Food3.What is the main product of this crop?Cornmill, corn syrup, animal feed4.What is a by-product of this crop?Ethanol5.Where is this crop primarily grown?The midwest6.What methods are used for harvesting and storing thiscrop?Harvested with a combine and stored insilos7.Describe how the production of this crop affects theenvironment:In the midwest during the summer we getrain fall because there is so much cornsweat.8.What is a possible way the application of Agrisciencecould improve production of this crop and/or reduce itsimpact on the environment?I don’t think it's possible.9.List all sources used:NoneCrop Two1.Name of crop:Cotton2.What type of crop is this (food, industry, etc.)?Fiber or Food3.What is the main product of this crop?Clothes or Fabric4.What is a by-product of this crop?Cotton seed mill5.Where is this crop primarily grown?A field6.What methods are used for harvesting and storing thiscrop?Harvest with a cotton picker and7.Describe how the production of this crop affects theenvironment:Water contamination8.What is a possible way the application of Agrisciencecould improve production of this crop and/or reduce itsimpact on the environment?improve soil structure so it absorbs watermore effectively9.List all sources used:World Wildlife Fund, Cotton Works
