Plant Physiology Review for Quiz 4/09/13 1. What is Plant Physiology? Plant physiology is the study of the functions of plants. 2. What is the difference between phenotype and genotype The difference between phenotype and genotype is that phenotype is the external characteristics and genotype is the genetic make up 3. What are the two types of cell walls? The two types of cell walls are primary cell wall and secondary cell wall. 4. What are the most abundance components of the CELL

(e.g.‚ K+‚ Ca2+) travel dissolved in the water (often accompanied by various organic molecules supplied by root cells).Less than 1% of the water reaching the leaves is used in photosynthesis and plant growth. Most of it is lost in transpiration. However‚ transpiration does serve two useful functions: * It provides the force for lifting the water up the stems. * It cools the leaves. Water and minerals enter the root by separate paths which eventually converge

-How plants get liquid and minerals- Flowers absorb liquid through their roots‚ which are attached to xylem vessels. Xylem vessels are tubes that can expand through several feet of tissue and be .7mm in diameter. Their walls are thickened with cellulose deposits. Xylem bring water up to the leaves and petals of the plant. Even without contact with the roots‚ the xylem can still absorb water. Because of this‚ a cut flower usually doesn’t die for a couple days (as long as it is placed in water of

Water lab Research Question: How many drops of water can fit on a coin? (Water properties involved are cohesion and surface tension. Cohesion plays a consequential role in the transport of water within plants specifically within the phloem. Surface tension also dictates an important role within the transpirational pull of the xylem.) Variables: Variables | Type of Variable | How it was manipulated | Independent | Water drops‚ different types of water | Determining how many drops of the

Listeria monocytogenes can cause a food borne illness called Listeriosis. (Murano 2003) This bacterium can be found in soil and water. (Murano 2003) Unlike many other germs‚ it can grow in cold temperatures such as the refrigerator. Listeria monocytogenes can be killed by pasteurization and cooking. (Murano 2003) Some foods that are typically contaminate by Listeria monocytogenes are a variety of raw foods‚ processed foods and foods made from unpasteurized milk. Vegetables can become contaminated

Cocktail Garnishes In Cocktail Land‚ there are two basic types of garnish: there’s the functional garnish‚ and then there’s the decorative garnish. The functional garnish adds flavor to a cocktail—a lemon twist or a flamed orange peel‚ for example. The decorative garnish is more for show. Sure‚ it might add a small amount of flavor‚ but that’s not its reason to be there. Mainly‚ it provides visual appeal and a bit of fun. Cocktails are garnished to give them wonderful visual appeal and superb

water potential. Water’s potential energy in plants is a combination of (1) it’s tendency to move in response to differences in solute concentration and (2) the pressure exerted on it Plants do not expend energy to replace water that is lost to transpiration when stomata are open and photosynthesis is occurring. Instead‚ water moves from soil and roots to leaves long a water potential gradient. The gradient exists because water at the air0water surface in leaves in under negative pressure (tension)
