Kurnell is apart of the Sutherland shire having a distance of 22 km South of Sydney’s CBD. Positioned North of

For a while now I have wanted to go to college and get a degree in botany. I gained this interest by exploring the varieties of plant life and falling in love with what they have to offer people. Specifically the cannabis plant, commonly known as marijuana, this plant has many benefits that have already been discovered. The medical aspects of marijuana have shown to treat many disorders and health issues including cancer. In order to progress to this goal I will first need to graduate high school

My name is George Washington Carver. No one knows the exact year of my birth. It is believed to be between 1860 and 1965 I'm between 30 and 35 years old. I was born as a slave. When I was a baby my mom, my sister and I were kidnapped from the farm when I was born. I was sold to some slave owners in Kentucky. My owner, Moses Carver, paid to find me and bring me back. After slavery was abolished my slave owners raised me as their own child. They taught me how to read and write and encouraged

Carl Linnaeus was born on May 23, 1701, in Småland, Sweden. Linnaeus adored plants, even at a young age. His father Niles, an amateur botanist, taught Linnaeus basic botany. Linnaeus primarily went to Uppsala University to study medicine, botany and he eventually wrote a thesis on plant sexual reproduction. Linnaeus then went to Lapland, and after six months he had discovered about 100 plants. He then set out for the Netherlands to get his doctoral degree at the University of Harderwijk. After that

Did you know that we have a type of DNA that can move around in the genome? According to yourgenome.org, a genome is an organism’s complete set of genetic instructions. Barbara McClintock studied and discovered mobile genetic elements, which is the DNA that can move around in the genome. Barbara McClintock discovered mobile genetics because of her father despite her economic status and her gender. Barbara McClintock’s childhood was uneasy due to her mother. McClintock was born in Hartford

proper levels of moisture, suitable temperatures, oxygen, fertile soil, and proper pH levels to name a few. However, as many of us have experienced, some viable (living) seeds will NOT germinate, even when given the perfect conditions. In the field of botany, this phenomenon is known as “physiological seed dormancy” (will be referred to as PSD from here on out). In plain language, PSD is like a “hibernation” stage that occurs after seed maturation but before germination. After the seeds of a mother

Schleiden was one of the primary German biologists to declare Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. He became a professor of botany at the University of Dorpat in 1863. He resolved that all plant parts are made of cells and that an undeveloped plant organism arises from the one cell. He studied plant structure under a microscope and saw the inner cell components. He observed that the cell nucleus was very serious, and believed that it might be connected with cell division. Schleiden was a german

were mixed into them. In the end, if one looks closely in Niepce’s piece in the background one can see the plants and trees and some look like weeds, which goes in comparison to Atkins for her focus on it were on Algae which is in the category of botany. They both sadly did not live very long lives, which makes one think if they had lived longer could they have helped more in the beginnings of

Throughout the movie, “The Martian,” the story revolves around the main character, Mark Watney, who has to survive alone on a Mars by utilizing his skills in botany, as well as other subjects. Mark faces multiple problems throughout the movie, that make his survival extremly hard. Other than botany, there were many other sciences used by Watney to survive on Mars. , including physics. An example of this is when making a battery last longer on the rover, he removes the battery in order to make the

twentieth century. Originally, students were enrolled in various courses such as natural history, zoology and botany with a generalized biology course not being developed until 1906. This new course would combine the elements of the courses previously noted, and textbooks were created to blend these elements into a following curriculum. Enrollment quickly increased, and by the mid-1930s zoology and botany were nearly eliminated as subjects. In turn, students began to learn more about advances such as genetics
