Evolution of Australian Biota A) Baragwanathia Baragwanthia fossils were first discovered in Yea, Victoria in 1875 and were first described as a lycopod which was derived from the Zosterophylls by Australia’s eminent pioneer botanist, Dr Isobel Cookson in 1935. The Fossils of Baragwanthia are believed to date back to the Silurian times. Baragwanthia had long […]
I have used the scientific method in my case study to prove my hypothesis, if a plant is grown in light it will grow faster than a plant grown in the dark. To conduct my experiment, you will need lima beans, potting soil, and styrofoam cups. First, put three inches of potting soil into each […]
Lab Report Comparing Animal and Plant Cells The cell is the fundamental structural unit of all living organisms. Cells help carry out the functions of life and together support the organism to function as a whole. Cells are divided into two main categories of eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Animal cells and plant cells fall into the […]
Abstract Duckweed is a small aquatic plant that is able to grow rapidly, making it the ideal specimen for our experiment. It is hypothesized that altering the amount of light received by duckweed will alter its photosynthetic rate. It is predicted that lower light intensity will lower the rate of growth in duckweed. Two treatment […]
We had started off thinking of how we can unite physics and biology together in the same experiment. After thinking about plants and electricity we thought we could see if electrically functioning lights can succeed in substituting the sun light. We had decided to use two different artificial lights with different colors and the sunlight. […]
Aim: Our aim is to compare the abundance, diversity and living conditions of different species of plants in two coppiced areas, an old coppice (coppiced 30 years ago) and a younger coppice (coppiced 7 years ago), in Nower Wood. Hypothesis: I think that there will be a greater amount of plant species in the older […]
Others suggest that transportation is the enhancement of the natural process of illogical production caused by nutrient enrichment [Chorus and Bertram, 1999]. A widely quoted definition in South Africa is that “transportation is the process of nutrient enrichment of waters which results in the stimulation of an array of symptomatic changes, amongst which increased production […]
Galapagos Islands are endemic to the islands. (Galapagos, 2008) Although many plants have difficulties surviving not only the voyage to different islands but also the adaptation of the new environments, the plant life found among the Galapagos seem to have adapted just as well as Darwin’s finches. Galapagos, 2008) The Galapagos Islands have its own […]
A true friend is one who stands by us during good times as well as bad times. Based on this criterion we may regard trees as our best friends,because they have stood by us for centuries,providing us with food and fuel,and meeting many of our other needs. Trees serve us in a variety of ways. […]
The respiration and photosynthesis cycle is the process by which plants and animals interact in a codependent and symbiotic manner to produce the nutrients, gases, and energy that they require to survive. Plants obtain energy from sunlight and use it to combine carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process is called photosynthesis. […]
A natural woodland ecosystem contains rich sources of wood such as oak and beech that humans want to exploit. It contains a stable community of plants, insects and birds. Coppicing is a method of cutting trees near the bottom and allowing them to grow with many branches at the bottom. This is designed to be […]
Photosynthesis is the process in which a green plant makes its own food in which it lives on. Photosynthesis is the combination of two different words, ‘photo’ meaning light and ‘synthesis’ meaning to manufacture. The food that a plant makes is called glucose, a food made up from inorganic to help grow the organic substances […]
I will be carrying out my investigation in Whomerley wood. Whomerley wood is an ancient wood, created in the 16 th century, 400 years ago. Initially Whomerley wood seems to be largely made up of bramble and the trees consist mainly of Hornbeam, with a number of Oaks, Ash and Silver Birch trees, consequently the […]
Although plants make their own food through photosynthesis, plants need soil nutrients, such as Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium, those are needed in large amounts and so are called Macronutrients. There are other nutrients that are needed in small amounts such as Iron and Magnesium, those are called Micronutrients. In normal circumstances the plants do not […]
This experiment is to determine the role of water potential of tissues in plants most particularly the movement of water into and out of potato storage tissue so that the isotonic point can be identified.Prediction.Potato is a plant that contains more starch grains and immature chloroplasts in the plant cells. Thus it has a lot […]
The wood I visited was called Russell’s Inclosure. It is located at 6110 on the OS map Wye Valley and Forest of Dean. It is 80 – 120 metres above sea level and 4 kilometres east of Coleford and 3/4 kilometres north east of Cinderford.Map showing the location of Russell’s InclosureHypothesis: “The way a woodland […]
A swot analysis is where you look at business like Hewden Plant Hire and you talk about the: Strengths (internal) Weaknesses (internal) Opportunities (external) Threats (external) Swot analysis is a method used in general management as well as marketing scenarios. Swot consists of investigative the current activities of the company-its strengths and weaknesses then using […]
Preliminary work: – We went on a nature walk around the grounds of the school, to see the different varieties of plants and grasses in different areas. We noticed that in the area in front of one of the buildings where the children waited for the coaches, there were a lot less flowering plants, than […]
For this project I aim to investigate if moss coverage has a preferred habitat on the North side of a Yew tree (a coniferous variety) or the North side of an Oak Tree (a deciduous variety). I will undertake this by means of fieldwork in a woodland area and the sampling and collection of data […]
Foulden common has a variety of different habitats including grassland, young woodland, ponds, swamps, fenland, set-a-side and streams which enables a diverse range of organisms to be present in an area. Life for plants and animals in any medium is a constant struggle. Besides the physical environment, predators, parasites and other competitors that have to […]
With continued use of chemical herbicides, parasitic plants develop resistance mechanisms, making further use ineffective. The herbicide effective for a particular weed may also affect desired plants (crops). In biological control, it is difficult to synchronize the life cycles of the biological agent and the parasitic plant. At the same time, it is difficult to […]
Baggage fired biomass power plant boiler In Brazil Brazilian sugarcane mills learned to harness the energy stored in baggage by burning it in boilers to produce belletristic. As a result, these mills are energy self- sufficient, producing more than enough electricity to cover their own needs. A growing number of mills also generate a surplus, […]
