1) Monocots are shorts for “Monocotyledons” which means plants whose embryo has one cotyledon; whereas, Eudicots (Eudicotyledons) carry embryo with 2 cotyledons. The cotyledons of eudicots supply nutrients for seedlings, but the cotyledons of monocots store some nutrients and act as a transfer tissue for nutrients stored elsewhere. Five key features are typically used to distinguish monocots from eudicots; a seed, arrangement of vascular tissue in roots, stems, and leaves, and number of flower parts. The seed has the reproductive structures that are protected from drying out, have male and female gametophytes which are reduced in size. In young dicot stems and stems (usually the upright, vertical portion of a plant transports substances to and the leaves) that do not increase in thickness, xylem and phloem are arranged in vascular bundles in the cortex.
3) What does the taproot system do? Often stores organic nutrients that the plant consumes during flowering and fruit production. 4) Why are root crops such as carrots, turnips, and sugar beets harvested before they flower? Because the taproot system stores organic nutrients in the root part. 5) What is the system where no roots stand out as the main one?
Biology Gynoecium: - The gynoecium (from Ancient Greek γυνή, gyne, meaning woman, and οἶκος, oikos, meaning house) is a term with several meanings in botanical usage. In reference to mosses, liverworts and hornworts,gynoecium refers to a cluster of archegonia and any associated modified leaves or stems present on agametophyte shoot. More commonly, gynoecium refers to the ovule-producing part of a flower. The gynoecium is typically the innermost whorl of structures in a flower and is surrounded (in perfect flowers) by the androecium (stamens) and (in complete flowers) by the perianth (petals and sepals). The gynoecium is often inaccurately [clarification needed] referred to as female because it gives rise to female (egg-producing) gametophytes.

Chirality-Isolation of Limonene from Citrus Fruits Post-lab #5 Elena Manakhova Lab group: Michele, Charlyne G. CHM2210L Introduction/Background. The roots of organic chemistry are embedded in the substances derived from natural sources. The eventual realization that these natural products could also be synthesized from nonliving materials led to the overthrow of the vital force theory and the creation of the discipline called “organic” chemistry. Essential oils make up a large group of organic compounds obtained from plants. These oils are often characterized by very distinct odors, and are dependent on a certain degree of stereochemistry found in a particular molecule.
There are 900 mainly perennial species. From plants that are climbers, sub-shrubs, or plants that stems are like bamboo. Begonias vary in characteristics but most have lop- sides, ear- shaped leaves with beautiful markings. The plant flower in clusters with four to five petals. The Begonia was named after Michel Begon (1638-1710).
Fungi are also eukaryotic. The body consists of a network of threads called hyphae, forming a mycelium. There is a rigid cell wall made of chitin. In addition, feeding is heterotrophic which means that they are capable of utilising only organic materials as a source of food. Examples of fungi are Penicillium, yeast and mushrooms.
The diploid state in plants is known as sporophyte which produces spores and the haploid state in plants is known as gametophyte which produces gametes. Unlike woman who always produce an egg and men who always produce sperm some plants have different dominate diploid stage than haploid stages. Some examples of plants with dominate haploid stages are green algae, mosses, liverworts and hornworts. Some examples of plants with dominate diploid stages are wiskferns, horsetails, and true ferns. ten ways in which plants in general or specific plants provide for you in your life and HOW they benefit or enrich your life 1.

My hypothesis for number of leaves was that normal lighting was going to pervail over vita light because after normal plant height exceeded the vita lights height is was only natural for me to think that the
5. Both plant and animal cells contain a Golgi complex, or the organelle responsible for packaging cellular products for distribution. Plant/Animal Cellular Differences 1. Plant cells contain chloroplasts, which through the process of photosynthesis supply energy to the cell. Animal cells do not contain this organelle.
