The Anemone meaning wind flower, which signifies that the wind that blows the petal open will also, eventually, blow the dead petals away; are perennial herbs with an underground rootstock, and radical, more or less deeply cut leaves. The elongated flower stem bears one or several, white, red, blue or rarely yellow flowers. There is an involucre of three leaflets below each flower. The fruits often bear long hairy styles, which aid their distribution by the wind. They produce cup-shaped yellowish, white, purple, violet, or red Anemone flowers.
Yucca glauca: Great Plains Yucca Introduction Yucca glauca are commonly found all through the entire great plains. This type of plant covers a wide range of habitats from a dry sandy soil to a more humid clay type area. Yucca glauca are known as a mutalistic symbiotic plant that relies on the yucca moth, Tegeticula maculate, for its reproduction and overall survival. These plants need to be in an area where the water is well-drained with an adequate amount of full sun and generally on either prairie land or exposed hillside. They grow to about three feet tall with long thin light green leaves that have a sharp apex (point) at the end.
There are many types of tropisms. Five of them are: 1} Thigmotropism is a movement in which an organism moves or grows in response to touch or contact stimuli. The prefix ‘thigmo’ comes from the Greek for "touch". Usually thigmotropism occurs when plants grow around a surface, such as a wall, pot, or trellis This happens in plants such as climbing vines when the tendrils curl around objects as they climb. This is called positive thigmotropism.
Adaptations: 1. Katydid’s wings look like leaves. 2. The katydids also pose as life-like leaves. 3.
It makes cells enlarge or grow and, in the shoot, are eradicated by light. The accumulation of auxin on the shaded side of a plant causes this side only to lengthen, resulting in the shoot bending towards the light, causes cell elongation by activating proton pumps that expel H+ ions from the cytoplasm to the cell wall. State two adaptations of insect pollinated flowers Large/colorfull petals, petals release scent, sticky pollen grains Predict what will happen to the flowering process of a short day plant * If the flowering the process of a short day plant is interrupted by brief exposure light, it will not flower nor bloom. Outline the role of phloem in active translocation of biochemicals. Phloem have sieve tubes that transport organic compounds.
The first group is its Domain. The Domain in which it falls under is Eukarya, this is because an artichoke is a plant and plants cells have a nucleus (http://bioweb.uwlax.edu, Name that artichoke). Then it falls under the Plantae Kingdom. And the Order it goes under is Asterales, there are actually 26,000 species of plants that are in this categories (http://bioweb.uwlax.edu, Name that artichoke). Artichokes need to be in moist, sandy environments.
In plants xylans or hemicelluloses are situated between the lignin and the collection of the cellulose fibers underneath. Consisting with their structural chemistry and side group substitutions, the xylans seems to be intertwined and covalently linked at various points with the overlying sheath of lignin, while producing a coat around underlying stands of cellulose[33]via hydrogen bonding [31].Xylan layer and with its covalent linkage to lignin and its non-covalent interaction with cellulose with may be important in maintaining the integrity of the cellulose in situ and helping and protect the fibers against degradation to cellulases [34].Xylans are the one of these polysaccharides that have verity of application features that affects our
These are moisture loving plants found in the moist, damp, shady places. They have no true roots, stems or leaves(psudoparenchymous). They share some common features with the pteridophytes with respect to the reproductive organs. Their spores lie in a capsule which is on a seta. The mechanism for spore dispersal is also different.
Intersexual individuals show either testes or ovaries of one sex, but external genitalia show sexual organs of the other sex. An individual with intersexualism will have either testes or ovaries that match with their chromosomal sex. Hermaphrodite and intersexuals are caused by hormonal factors in the prenatal development, which determines gender identity. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a form of intersexualism in which, “a genetic female has internal female sexual structures (ovaries), but masculinized external genitals,” (www.congenitaladrenalhyperplasia.org, 2006). This is seen when the clitoris on a female may look like a small penis because of the enlargement of the clitoris.
Orchids and bromeliads exploit trees and other plants to get closer to the sunlight. They grow hanging onto the branches or tree trunks with aerial roots, not as parasites but as epiphytes. One tropical fruit tree that is native to the Amazon is the abiu. The Amazon Basin contains thousands of plant species. The bromeliads are special in that they hold water, and frogs may use these plants to hatch their eggs, besides many other living organisms that have their homes in them.
