Analyze your gel image as follows:
1. Are all sample bands clearly defined? Yes or No
2. Alternatively: Is there any particular plant sample that appears smeared? Yes or No
If yes, which one(s) and what are possible explanations for this?
SITUATION: You have been taking care of your own plants for several months now. You
made sure that the plants get enough water, sunlight, and minerals for them to be healthy.
All of the sudden you were asked to travel to another country for a while and you needed to
leave immediately. Because of this you forgot to have someone to watch over your plants.
They were kept inside the house for 2 months without being watered and only a minimal
amount of sunlight. Describe the state of the plant upon your return. Defend your answer
based on the concepts on the light dependent reactions.

- G. Select your favorite flowers and determines the floral formula. The floral formula is used to describe graphically the morphology of flowering plants. A floral diagram is a representation of the different floral features of plants as they appear in cross section. Symbols are used to represent the different floral parts (CA for calyx, CO for corolla, A for androecium and G for gynoecium). Numbers of each flower part will follow the respective symbol. The number will be encircled if the parts are united or fused and is left open if otherwise. If the ovary is inferior, underline G, put a line above G if the ovary is superior. Floral formulas and diagrams have their value in taxonomic identification because they provide important information about the flower, the main basis of taxonomic identification as established by Linnaeus. determine the floral formula of the given flowers and Sketch the floral diagrams of each Gladiolus sp.

Jenny planted 6 sunflowers where they would get sun all day, 6 where they would get some sun and some shade, and 6 where they would be in total shade all day. Jenny watered all of the sunflowers at the same time of day with the same amount of water. After 3 months Jenny measured how tall the sunflowers in each location were. What is the hypothesis that Jenny was testing? Choose all that apply. Question options: A Amount of water affects plant growth B Plant growth is affected by light exposure C Plant growth is affected by the time of day of watering D Amount of light affects plant growth because light is required for photosynthesisarrow_forward2. Mrs. Gulliver wants to find out whether or not Miracle Grow really makes plants grow faster. She takes two identical pots, puts 1/2 cup of dirt into each one. Puts 3 pea plant seeds in each one, and tops each off with 1/2 cup more dirt. She waters the plants the same amount at the same time each day. The only difference is that one plant is watered with regular water, while the other is watered with water that has Miracle Grow in it.

- WHAT IF? If you removed the root cap from a root,would the root still respond to gravity? Explain.arrow_forwardOPE Examining a flower50 1. Flowers are borne on stalks or pedicels in the axils of modified leaves called bracts. As mentioned previously, flowers may occur singly or in a cluster. Examine at least one of the flowering shoots provided and determine the floral arrangement. (Write the answer in #7.) 2. Using a pair of forceps, remove the outer green sepals of a single flower. Record the number. 3. Remove and record the number of petals. (If more than 12, put numerous.) 4. Remove and record the number of stamens. 5. The structure remaining is the pistil. 6. Use a sharp scalpel to cut a horizontal slice from the ovary. Place this on a slide and observe the cut surface with the stereomicroscope. Observe the ovules. Record the number of compartments or carpels in the ovary. 7. Take another of the same flower. Hold it upside down between the first finger and thumb. Carefully cut it with a scalpel into two halves along the plane of symmetry. Try to cut in a plane that creates mirror images of…arrow_forwardA student transplants four plants and measures their heights.

Homer Simpson loves to garden and wants to grow lots of pink flowers for his pal Moe. He bought a special Flower Power fertilizer to see if it will help plants produce more flowers. He plants two plants of the same size in separate containers with the same amount of potting soil. He places one plant in a sunny window and waters it every day with fertilized water. He places the other plant on a shelf in a closet and waters it with plain water every other day. The one without sun dies while the one with sun grows. 6. What is Homer's Independent Variable in the experiment? 7. What is the Dependent Variable in his experiment? 8. What is one constant you can identify in this experiment? 9. What is one error that could have occurred in this experiment? 10. What is one thing Homer could do to improve this experiment to test if the Flower Power fertilizer really worked? 11. What conclusion can Homer make about the Flower Power fertilizer?arrow_forward
