3c. Image of Plant: Plant 4: Tomato 1a. Why did you select this plant? I selected this plant because is a 2b. Describe all of the ways what you could prepare this plant for consumption: 3c.
Asparagus The vegetable asparagus is a member of the lily family, which includes onions, garlic, leeks, turnips and gladioli. Asparagus is a perennial flowering plant that produces for several years. It has underground storage roots and compact stems called rhizomes. The roots store food and the rhizomes produce edible shoots or asparagus spears. If the spears are not harvested, they rapidly grow into a bush that resembles a fern.
The sweet potato industry, although a high value industry, is becoming increasingly competitive. This underlines the importance of efficiency in minimising the loss of valuable soil. Large amounts of rainfall can result in the loss of soil on cultivated farmland. The loss of soil does not just affect the farmers it also affects the community The aim of the project was to increase awareness of soil health and to develop the best soil management practices for the Cudgen plateau. Figure [ 2 ] Water Way On the Cudgen Plateau, three adjoining landholders implemented soil conservation measures and strategies.
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?
What is the benefit of the modification? Because the GM tomatoes can remain fresh longer they have time to ripen in the sun before picking, resulting in a better tasting tomato! 4. Three advantages of genetically modified foods Longer lasting foods can be more easily transported, Having extra vitamins in food help poor people from becoming malnourished or going blind, and the insecticides inside some genetically modified plants keep farmers from having to spray the whole place down with toxic wastes, and they also 5. A counter argument to one of the disadvantages of genetically modified food Some antibiotics can be transferred to humans and make it harder for us to fight infections, genetically modifying foods could potentially put farmers out of work, and some important insects could be at risk because of the insecticides in foods.
· The shape and structure of leaves vary considerably from species to species of plant, depending largely on their adaptation to climate and available light, but also to other factors such as grazing animals, available nutrients, and ecological competition from other plants. Table 1: Comparison of monocot and dicot characteristics Characteristic Monocot Dicot Leaf Vein Pattern Parallel Branched Flower Parts Multiple of 3 Multiples 4 or 5 Cotyledons in the seed One cotyledon (“mono” = one) Two cotyledon (“di” = two) Vascular bundles in stem x.s Scattered Circular STEMS: · The stem supports the aerial portion of the plant and transports materials (water, minerals and food) to and from the various organs of the plant. Some plants (cacti and Palo Verde trees are two Arizona examples) carry out photosynthesis in their stems. When we look at the oldest plant fossils, the only organ they have is the stem – no leaves, flowers, roots, etc! · The parenchyma can be divided into two regions: the pith inside the ring of vascular bundles and the cortex outside the vascular bundles.
The answer is fertilizer. It makes your grass grow faster and healthier, but is grass the only thing it helps to grow? People may not know it, but fertilizers’ two main chemicals that help grass grow are called nitrates and phosphates. Nitrates and phosphates make your grass grow nice and green. But, when you fertilize your lawn too much, fertilize right before it rains, or if you live on the water, it is easy for left over nitrates and phosphates to trickle their way down into the ground water.
Hay is, in fact, quite nutritious and contains most of the basic constituents required in the diet. Green food: There is virtually no limit to the amount of green foods available for guinea pigs. Domestic greens may include cabbage, lettuce, peas, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi and cauliflower. Wild green foods may also be collected and can include such items as seeding grassed, dandelions, chickweed and clover. In collecting wild foods, beware of the poisonous plants and avoid areas which are likely polluted.
Vegetables have very good nutrients so when picking vegetables one should choose a variety of colors to get a variety of nutrients. Vegetables Lower blood pressure; reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and probably some cancers; lower risk of eye and digestive problems; and a mellowing effect on blood sugar that can help keep appetite in check. Last but not least is my grain intake. My grain intake is the equivalent to 5.4 ounces and my recommended amount of grain intake is 6 ounces. I need a little more grain consumption to meet my recommended amount.
The water from the rivers would flow through bringing down soil from the mountains in which made the soil super fertile. The fertile ground and great climate was a great place for agriculture. The rich soil and way to grow food helped contribute to this society. People were able to plant all kinds of crops and grow food. Since people were able to grow food they were able to start staying in one place instead of moving around.
