Plants do cellular respiration when they need energy and can't do __photosynthesis___. This happens at night, during a drought, when the plant is dormant. 9. __Transpiration___ is when the sun evaporates water from plant leaves. Deciduous plants drop their leaves in the fall so they do not lose water through transpiration over the winter when there is not enough direct sunlight to do ___photosynthesis___. 10. __Dormancy__ is when plants stop growth because they do not have what is needed for photosynthesis. This can be a plant that has dropped its leaves for the winter or grass that has turned brown when there is not enough water to do photosynthesis during the summer. 11. Phototropism is when plants change the direction they are growing to get more __light_. 12. Gravitropism is when plants change the __direction__ they are growing in response to gravity. The stems grow upward and the _roots__ grow downward. What part of this plant is showing phototropism? Why? The stem is growing towards the light even though the pot has been knocked over. The plant does this to get light to do photosynthesis. What part of this plant is showing gravitropism? Why? Mainly the roots are showing gravitropism. They are growing down even though the pot has been knocked over. They do this so that they can stay in the ground and get the water and nutrients in the soil. .

  • Flowers and Maturation 3Rd - 5Th Grade
    Flowers and Maturation 3rd - 5th Grade Introduction Over 90% of all plants are angiosperms or flowering plants. When you think of flowers, you probably think of a rose, carnation or maybe, a tulip . It is not just flowers that are flowering plants. In the spring and summer, you can find flowers in many places but, many plants have flowers that you never see. The grass in the yard is a flowering plant but, you have probably never seen their flower. They are hidden inside the plant. A plant lives to produce more plants and it needs a flower to do that. Flowers are responsible for producing seeds This lesson will teach you the parts of a flower and how those parts work. Objectives • Students will understand the role of flowers in the life of a plant. • Students will understand the basic parts of a flower. • Students will understand the function of the parts of the flower. • Students will understand seed development. Background First, let us look at the diagram of a flower. Photo provided by: https://www.colourbox.com/vector/a-common-flower-parts-vector-34289070 kansascornstem.com A “perfect flower” has both male and female parts. There are also parts that are not male or female. The sepal are leaves that protect the flower as it grows. They peel back as the flower grows. The petals give many flowers their beauty, but the most important job they have are to attract insects that will help them in the process of producing seeds. You will read more about that later.

  • Plant Terminology
    PLANT TERMINOLOGY Plant terminology for the identification of plants is a necessary evil in order to be more exact, to cut down on lengthy descriptions, and of course to use the more professional texts. I have tried to keep the terminology in the database fairly simple but there is no choice in using many descriptive terms. The following slides deal with the most commonly used terms (more specialized terms are given in family descriptions where needed). Professional texts vary from fairly friendly to down-right difficult in their use of terminology. Do not be dismayed if a plant or plant part does not seem to fit any given term, or that some terms seem to be vague or have more than one definition – that’s life. In addition this subject has deep historical roots and plant terminology has evolved with the science although some authors have not. There are many texts that define and illustrate plant terminology – I use Plant Identification Terminology, An illustrated Glossary by Harris and Harris (see CREDITS) and others. Most plant books have at least some terms defined. To really begin to appreciate the diversity of plants, a good text on plant systematics or Classification is a necessity. PLANT TERMS - Typical Plant - Introduction [V. Max Brown] Plant Shoot System of Plant – stem, leaves and flowers. This is the photosynthetic part of the plant using CO2 (from the air) and light to produce food which is used by the plant and stored in the Root System. The shoot system is also the reproductive part of the plant forming flowers (highly modified leaves); however some plants also have forms of asexual reproduction The stem is composed of Nodes (points of origin for leaves and branches) and Internodes Root System of Plant – supports the plant, stores food and uptakes water and minerals used in the shoot System PLANT TERMS - Typical Perfect Flower [V.

  • Using RNA-Seq to Characterize Pollen–Stigma Interactions for Pollination
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Using RNA‑seq to characterize pollen–stigma interactions for pollination studies Juan Lobaton1,3*, Rose Andrew1, Jorge Duitama2, Lindsey Kirkland1, Sarina Macfadyen3 & Romina Rader1 Insects are essential for the reproduction of pollinator‑dependent crops and contribute to the pollination of 87% of wild plants and 75% of the world’s food crops. Understanding pollen fow dynamics between plants and pollinators is thus essential to manage and conserve wild plants and ensure yields are maximized in food crops. However, the determination of pollen transfer in the feld is complex and laborious. We developed a feld experiment in a pollinator‑dependent crop and used high throughput RNA sequencing (RNA‑seq) to quantify pollen fow by measuring changes in gene expression between pollination treatments across diferent apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) cultivars. We tested three potential molecular indicators of successful pollination and validated these results with feld data by observing single and multiple visits by honey bees (Apis mellifera) to apple fowers and measured fruit set in a commercial apple orchard. The frst indicator of successful outcrossing was revealed via diferential gene expression in the cross‑pollination treatments after 6 h. The second indicator of successful outcrossing was revealed by the expression of specifc genes related to pollen tube formation and defense response at three diferent time intervals in the stigma and the style following cross‑pollination (i.e. after 6, 24, and 48 h). Finally, genotyping variants specifc to donor pollen could be detected in cross‑pollination treatments, providing a third indicator of successful outcrossing. Field data indicated that one or fve fower visits by honey bees were insufcient and at least 10 honey bee fower visits were required to achieve a 25% probability of fruit set under orchard conditions.

  • Stigma in Patientswith Rectal Cancer: a Community Study
    J Epidemiol Community Health: first published as 10.1136/jech.38.4.284 on 1 December 1984. Downloaded from Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 1984, 38, 284-290 Stigma in patients with rectal cancer: a community study L D MACDONALD AND H R ANDERSON From the Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Social Medicine, St George's Hospital Medical School, Cranmer Terrace, London SWJ 7 ORE SUMMARY A self-rating measure of stigma and several supplementary questions were devised in order to assess perceived stigma in a community survey of the quality of life in 420 rectal cancer patients, of whom 265 had a permanent colostomy. Half the patients felt stigmatised, higher proportions being observed among younger patients and among those with a colostomy. Feelings of stigma were associated with poor health, particularly emotional disorders, with the presence of other medical problems, and with disablement. Patients who perceived stigma made more use of were medical services but less satisfied with them, particularly with regard to communication with by guest. Protected copyright. health professionals. Socio-economic factors, such as employment status, higher income, and higher social and housing class, did not protect patients against feeling stigmatised by cancer or by colostomy. Most patients, with or without stigma, enjoyed close relationships with intimates, but the stigmatised were more likely to have withdrawn from participation in social activities. Assessing stigma by self-rating gives information which adds to that obtained by the usual methods of assessing quality of life.

  • Plant Reproduction | Topic Notes
    Plant Reproduction | Topic Notes Sexual reproduction is the fusion of male and female gametes to produce a diploid zygote. (The new individual is genetically different from both parents). Advantages include genetic variation, reduced competition (between parent & offspring) and good chance of surviving harsh winter. A disadvantage is that there’s a long period of growth required. Structure of flowering plant: Megaspore (egg) formation & microspore (pollen) formation: The carpel (female part of the flower) is composed of the stigma (sticky to trap pollen grains), style (supports stigma in best position to trap pollen grains) and ovary (contains 1 or more ovules which following fertilisation will develop into seeds). The stamen (male part of the flower) is composed of the anther (produces pollen grains) and filament (supports anther in best position to transport pollen grains). Sepals support the developing flower before it blooms. Petals may be bright coloured in insect pollinated plants (to attract them). The receptacle is the organ from which the flower develops and functions in supporting it. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower of the same species. It may be: 1. Self-pollination: the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma in the same plant. 2. Cross-pollination: the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a different plant but of the same species. 1 Plant Reproduction | Topic Notes Fertilisation is the union of a haploid male gamete with a haploid female gamete, to produce a diploid zygote. Once a pollen grain has landed on the stigma, the tube nucleus moves down through the stigma and style forming a pollen tube and enters the ovule at the micropyle, guided towards the egg by chemotropism, the tube nucleus then degenerates.

  • Seed Dispersal: Part 2 in Seed Dispersal Part 2, Find out Three Ways That Seeds Are Dispersed from the Initial Seed Producing Plant: Wind, Water, and Gravity
    Finally Fall: Seed Dispersal: Part 2 In Seed Dispersal Part 2, find out three ways that seeds are dispersed from the initial seed producing plant: wind, water, and gravity. Seed Dispersal Part 1 focused on the movement of seeds from the parent plant to different areas of the environment and that gravity alone, wildlife and humans are often involved. Plants disperse their seeds throughout an ecosystem and this limits competition of necessary resources like sunlight as they grow and mature. Seed Dispersal by Wind Seed dispersal by wind is a very common mechanism. Use the space below to make predictions about how wind is involved in seed dispersal. Do you know any plant species where wind disperses their seeds? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Wind is the main source of seed dispersal for many native plants. Have you ever seen a little yellow dandelion? Have you ever looked at that same flower and noticed that it has turned fluffy and white? The fluff you may have seen were the seeds of the dandelion! Generally, when flowers are at the end of their life cycle they will go to seed, which means the plant will use its energy to focus on reproduction. In the case of a dandelion, seeds are so light and fluffy, they are easily transported by the wind as it blows. Other factors can help the wind pick up the seeds. For example, if an animal walks into the dandelion that has gone to seed, the seeds may be released from the stalk of the plant. Seeds then can be transported by the wind even more effortlessly, having gotten a jump start on the process thanks to that animal.
