Horsetail is a member of the Equisetum genus, and treats a wide variety of illnesses. The scientific name is Equisetum arvense and Equisetum means horse bristle. It has been used since the ancient Roman and Greek times usually for reducing bleeding in patients. Horsetail is generally found in Europe, Asia, North America, and the Middle East. It is more abundant and lasts longer in sandy or wet soils. Today, E. arvense is mainly used for kidney and bladder problems, osteoporosis, frail nails, and cuts or burns (Uni. Maryland 2011). Horsetail has two stages fertile (reproductive) and sterile (vegetative), reproduction always comes before the vegetative stage. In spring, a brown stem with a head that looks like a pinecone starts to grow. Later as the fertile stem dies, a green stem with long, slender branches starts to form and lasts until winter, this is the vegetative stage. The branches aren’t evenly distributed amongst the plant, but are found towards the top end of the plant. Its form of reproduction is though spores for the fertile stage and by tubers in the sterile stage (Ohio University). Tubers are similar to roots, they store energy for the new plant, and helps with vegetative reproduction(WiseGEEK). A tuber is the tip of a rhizome which is a stem that is underground. The tuber has an abundance of unused nutrients stored for the next plant. The rhizomes will start to pop up around the plant, and in the fall it will form tubers which is the new plant (Koning 1994).
Photosynthesis is essential for a plant to survive. In order to perform photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is needed and is the most important component in the creation of matter. There are two other factors that go into photosynthesis, which are solar energy and water. Both are equally important in order to perform photosynthesis, but they don’t create the majority of the matter in a plant. The carbon dioxide is taken from the atmosphere which has a high concentration of carbon. “During the spring when plants start growing again, concentration drops” (Riebeeck p.5). Plants absorb the carbon dioxide and keep it, in order to grow. Once the carbon dioxide is fixated, glucose is produced and used in the process of cellular respiration.
through its ability to hold energy or heat. The response earned a final point for the description of root
A plant can control its turgor pressure through its central vacuole and cell wall. If a great amount of water is inside the cell, the central vacuole will take in some of the water to take some of the pressure of the cell wall. The cell wall can also eliminate water from making its way into the cell. The would cause the cell to keep expanding, but slowly eliminate its excess
8) How does a plant cell control its internal (turgor) pressure? The glucose in the plant changes its water potential. The plant can control its glucose levels to control its water potential to make sure it is lower than its surroundings.
2) Stems- The main body or stalk of a plant. Most grow above ground but some grow over ground.

Let me get it out right up front. I am long-time member of the Greendale Historical Society’s board of directors. However, I am not writing this on behalf of the Society. It is simply what I believe. So, let’s get to it.
Planters are a piece of equipment that farms use to plant their crops out into the field, They start in a box where the seed is poured into and they they fall down a pipe where it individually shoots them down onto the soil. Another useful piece of farm equipment is the sprayer, The sprayer is a piece of equipment that is used to spray chemicals on to the plants and the ground to kill off the weeds that take water and nutrients from the plants, They also spray on fertilizer to help give extra nutrients to the plant for healthier and faster growth.
Second off we have the plant cell. The plant cell has chloroplasts unlike a animal cell (Doc.1). Chloroplasts hold
The plant cycle is fairly simple. It begins with a seed that cracks and a tiny shoot appears, soon the shoot grows up to become the stem and the roots grow down into the soil. Then the plant gets taller and the stem gets thicker. Leaves begin to grow of the stem and flowers can begin to grow to. Soon the flower creates a new seed which makes the whole thing begin again. The plant however would need water, sunlight and air.
Connecticut Equine Clinic is the premier equine veterinary clinic in the Coventry, Connecticut region. Equine podiatry is the understanding of the form and function of the horse foot. Combining information from a physical exam, radiology and ultrasound with therapeutic farriery can relieve and prevent foot problems. Many problems associated with lowered performance and perceived behavioral issues may actually be signs of pain in the feet. Refusing jumps, difficulty in executing leads, loss of performance and more can indicate foot pain. Hock, stifle, caudal heels, knees back and even biting problems may simply be pain and damage as the result of hoof imbalances. Taking preemptive action can optimize long term health and welfare of the horse and reduce or avoid down time.
Background of Study Horse (Equus ferus caballus) (Wilson and Reeder, 2005) is one of the existing subspecies of Equus ferus. 45 to 55 million years ago, horse has transformed from small living being with multi-toed, into animal that have single-toed. The domestication of horses started around 4000 BC, and become common by 3000 BC. Feral horses are not real wild horses, like what people always described undomesticated horses. The only remaining true wild horse and a separate subspecies is endangered Przewalski's horse (McGreevy, 2012).
Plants are autotrophs that mean they are able to synthesize food directly from inorganic compounds, instead of relying on other organisms. They use carbon dioxide gas and water to produce sugars and oxygen
has productive tubers (modified stems that store nutrients underground) that, it tripled Europe’s food supply and had the largest yield in comparison to other vegetables.
