The leaves of a plant are the main photosynthetic organs and are involved in gas exchange and water transportation throughout a plant (Evans et al, 17). A leaf typically consists of an upper and lower epidermis, the mesophyll cells, veins, guard cells and stomata. The mesophyll cells contains spongey cells which have large gaps between each cell to allow oxygen and carbon dioxide circulation. The mesophyll cells contain palisade cells, which are located beneath the upper epidermis. The palisade cells contain many chloroplasts, which are green organelles. Located in the internal layers of chloroplasts is the pigment chlorophyll which is involved in trapping the light energy in photosynthesis (Evans et al, 17).

“The Interlopers” by Saki, is a story mixed with man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. self, conflict. The resolution is a very surprising twisted fate however. In the beginning we learn of the three generation long quarrel between the Gradwitz’s and the Znaeym’s. “A famous law suit, in the days of his grandfather” (152). The boys grow up hating each other and wishing each other misfortune, and even death upon each other. “as boys they had thirsted for one another's blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other” (152). On that night both of the men separate from their groups in search of each other. After a few minutes of searching they find each other. But as fate may have it, nature strikes both men. Suddenly the harsh

Ani hyuntikwalaski is a southeast Cherokee tale of how man came to obtain fire through the efforts of a little spider and other large animals. The story explains that the entities known as thunderers set fire to a tree on an island. From there many animals attempted to collect the fire. First were three different species of owl, which each gained their distinct characteristics from the effects of the fire, then 2 snakes that became black from being scorched. All of these animals had to turn back and abort their mission in an effort to preserve their lives. Consequently, it was a small water spider who successfully brought back a coal of the fire in a tusti bowl she had spun. With this, man had obtained fire.

Rubisco is the most abundant protein on earth that is essential for carbon fixation in plants. For the protein to function at its optimal level, it needs to be isolated from the mixture of proteins and in its purest form. The three isolation techniques carried out in this lab are salting out, ion exchange chromatography, and SDS-PAGE. Rubisco will be purer as each technique is conducted and will be in its purest form after the last isolation technique is carried out.

Diffusion, osmosis and active transport of substances in and out of the membrane is very important for all types of cells. One example is the root hair cell. These cells are the exchange surface in plants which are responsible for the absorption of water and mineral ions so without osmosis and active transport this would not be possible. The water is taken up by osmosis through the partially permeable membrane. The root hair cells are surrounded by a soil solution which contains small quantities of mineral ions but mainly water, so has a high water potential (slightly less than zero). The root hair cells themselves contain a high quantity of amino acids, mineral ions and sugars inside them (low water potential). Therefore water will move by osmosis from the soil solution and into the root hair cells, going down the water potential gradient.

Long ago, before you and I, the sun shone always. There was no night, and the sun always watched over his people smiling no matter the weather. The people were grateful for their everlasting daylight and held festivals for the sun monthly. During these festivals, there were cheerful songs and poems and the people danced in the most beautiful way. But, one of the festivals, the sun vanished and the sky became black. Confused, the people went to their town’s oracle, Ona, for answers.

Despite its importance osmosis may also damage cells by causing them to; a) shrink from water loss or b) burst from too much water gain. Plant cells [fig 3] have adapted themselves to ensure that these factors do not affect them, by forming a ridged wall, known as the cell wall, around their cells. The cell wall maintains the shape of the cell, and prevents the cell from bursting in a hypotonic medium by resisting water pressure. Plant cells have also adapted a larger vacuole, which occupies 80% or more of the cells cytoplasm (Davidson, 2004); allowing plants to store more water and nutrients per cell. Vacuoles also play a structural role in plant cells; by swelling when liquids contact them, plant vacuoles are able to control turgor pressure within the cell. This helps maintain the structural integrity of the cell as well as providing the plant with suitable amounts of water and nutrients; however the cell will never burst because the vacuole is contained within the cell wall. If plant cells are deprived of water their vacuole will begin to shrink, yet due to the cell the wall, the plant cell will be able to maintain its shape. [fig.4] Animal cells [fig 5] on the other hand do not have this

In this study, rice will be exposed to osmotic stress condition, whereby it will show: a higher accumulation of proline and soluble sugars, reduced levels of MDA and minimized water loss rate compared to wild types of plant. Still, the stress-responsive gene OsHsfC1b will exhibit a significantly higher expression levels in rice than in transgenic plants under similar environmental conditions. Although OsHsfC1b has been evaluated purposely for its significance in drought

Water diffuses across the membrane from the region of lower solute concentration (higher free water concentration) to that of higher solute concentration (lower free water concentration) until the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane are equal. The diffusion of free water across a selectively permeable membrane, whether artificial or cellular, is called osmosis. The movement of water across cell membranes and the balance of water between the cell and its environment are crucial to organisms. ("Diffusion And Osmosis - Difference And Comparison | Diffen"). A semi-permeable membrane known as the cell membrane surrounds the living cells of both plants and animals. Both solute concentration and membrane permeability are taken into account in the ability of a cell to gain or lose water. If there is a higher concentration of solutes in the surrounding solution, water will tend to leave the cell, and vice versa. The membrane forms a selective barrier between the cell and its environment and does not allow toxic substances from the surroundings to enter into the cell (Deena T Kochunni). The selective permeability allows the cell to regulate the flow of necessary substances into and out of the cell. In plants osmosis is also responsible for absorbing water and minerals from the soil by using the semipermeable membrane of the root (Deena T Kochunni). If the extracellular fluid has a lower osmolarity than the fluid inside the cell, it’s said to be

Plants rely on receiving their nutrients and water through soil. This is able to be done by a special kind of diffusion, called osmosis. Osmosis is when fluid passes through a semipermeable membrane to an either low or high concentration separating the two solutions. These high and low concentrations, will consists of having solute in each. Water will pass through the membrane, until each side is equal in concentrations. Although

And so the question arises: what kind of effect does road salt have on the plants in an environment? We then searched for more information, and found that, if there is less salt in a plant’s body compared to it’s surroundings, it is possible for osmosis to occur. Osmosis is, in short, when water crosses through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Osmosis is commonly seen in cells, and plant cells are no exception. Based on the background information that we found we were able to develop a hypothesis. We hypothesized that the road salt would have a negative effect on plants. If our hypothesis was correct, then - when exposed to salt - the plants would lose water and become weaker. Following our hypothesis was our prediction. In short, our prediction was that, if our hypothesis was correct, the growth in the plants would slow down, and some of the plants might even die. We then formed an experiment to test our hypothesis, in hopes that we would be proven correct.
