please answer these q's. THEY ARE NOT FOR MY HOMEWORK!!!!  it is on a study sheet and i don't have enough time to search the book, please help!!!!  If you can fill this out it will be very helpfull and i will chose u as best answer!!!!!! THANX!!!\n\n1)the four main types of plants and their characteristics\n\n2)the main differences between monocot and dicot plants\n\n3)what is a cotyledon?\n\n4)what are the male and female parts of a flower?  What parts become the seed and the fruit?\n\n5)What is photosynthesis and where does nearly all photosynthesis take place?\n\n6)What is a vascular plant and what advantage is there to being a vascular plant?\n\n7)What is a tropism?  What are the two main types of tropism and how does the plant react in each place?

1. A- mosses- basic, no vascular tissue, reproduction requiires water\nB- Ferns- vascular tissue present\nC- gymnosperms- seeds\nD- angiosperms- flowers and fruits\n\n2. Monocots have one cotyledon, dicots have 2\n\n3. cotyledons are the first leaves that sprout out of the seed, they contain nutrients for hte seed\n\n4. male- stamen, female- pistil\nSeed- sporophyte, fruit- ovary\n\n5. Photosynthesis is the making sugar/energy from CO2 and light\nTakes place in the stem and leaves (wherever green).  or more specifically, in the chloroplasts, in the stroma and thylakoid membrane\n\n6. Vascular tissue are a transport system, carrying water, minerals and sugar up to all parts of the tree\nAdvantages- grow bigger, compare mosses and trees\n\n7. tropism is the plants tendency to grow\nPhototropism- grow towards light.  light slows down cell elongation in stem that it hits, opposite side grows faster\nGravitropism- roots grow downward.  heavy molecules sink, thus coordinating top cells to elongate

just fyi i would have made this a biology question but anyway, chlorophyll a and b would be present in both leaves its not one or the other.  this sounds like homework don't you think that you should be figuring this out on your own.  i'll give you a couple hints.  you need a solute so that you can separate the pigments.  the pigments  will travel farther if the are less soluble.  Anyway thats all i'm giving you good luck.

flowering plants! we just learned this in my biology 110 class at penn state! oh, my professor would be so  proud :)

How much time do you have?  If you have a few weeks....\n\nGet 5 of the same type of plant.\n\nMake sure they all have the same conditions.  Same type of soil/amount   Same amount of light/temp.  If using lamps, make sure they get the same amount of lamp time.\n\nThe goal is to keep all conditions the same aside from the one variable you will be testing... \n\nSo on to the variable.  Pick 5 different substances that you will give them for fluids... IE...\n\n1. Water  2. Soda   3. Bleach   4. Miracle grow or other plant food mixxed with water.   5. Orance juice.\n\nOkay.  Water will be your control group.  You will use this as a base line to compare all of the others to.  You can of course pick whatever you want for fluids. Those are just some ideas pick whatever fluids you want.  Always make sure to have a control group (the one with water) so you have something as a base line.\n\nGive them all 25 milliliters of the subtance each day. The amount you give them depends on what plant you pick, and its size, adjust accordingly. Make sure to feed them at the same time each day.\n\nBefore you start, write down your hypothesis.. \nHow do you think each plant will do? and why?\n\nTwice a week write down how the plants look.\nHow much they have grown.\nThe plants overall health.\nAlso, write down anything else you have noticed. i.e change in color, a plant dying.  \n\nThen compare it with the plant just getting plain water.  It is doing better than the control?  worse?  same? \n\nAt the end of each week make a theory on how you think the plant will do over the next week.\n\nMake sure to factor out all variable, and keep everything aside from the substance they get the exact same.\n\nWhen done with the experiment write a conclusion.  Was your hypothesis correct? What were you right about? What were you wrong about? How did each plant fair?  What could you have changed to make the experiment more accurate??  Did you do anytyhing wrong? ie mistakenly change something?  If you repeated the experiment, do you think the results would be the same? why or why not?\n\nMake sure to fully explain all of your statements. Charts or graphs of the results are always nice.\n\nThis would work the best if you started them from seed, but you prob don't have that kind of time span.  \n\nIf this is to childish of an experiment, maybe do a plant stem grafting experiment, or a cross-pollination between plants of the same species. i.e make a hybrid plant from 2 differnt types of tomatos or different flowers.

Different plant foods help some plants more than others.\nGet at least 3 very different kinds of plant. An Example would be one that likes dry land(a cataus), a flower of some kind and something that lives in water.\n\nGet three of each kind of plant and then have 3 different kinds of feed. Of the 3 in the same kind feed each one a different food, but feed the same foods to the other 2 kinds of plants as well.\n\nAfter a while one of each kind should be doing better. The interesting part will be does the same plant food have the same results on all 3 kinds of plant.\n\nYou can use any number of kinds plant or food, I just said 3 because that is the least that you would want.

these are called the classical "work horses" of plant and aniamal cells respectivly.  Regardless chlorplast is reposnsible the energy conversionin photsysnthesis and mitochondia is used in cell metabolism to provide energy through ATP-ADP energy relationships. Any basic science book would do this and so would a Wikepedia or googlesearch. I woudl suggest you go there to get spsecifics, or try the library in your neighbourhood

I will split your question in to two parts viz. 1) Photosynthesis and 2) Stomata; so that you can easily understand it.\n 1) PHOTOSYNTHESIS-: for this function entire middle portion of a leaf contributes, it is called MESOPHYLL in botanical language.(Meso = middle or in between; Phyll = refers to leaf). It is located in between the upper and the lower skin or the epidermis of a leaf (Plural epidermes).\n In most of the leaves the MESOPHYLL is again distinguished it to Upper PALISDE tissue and the Lower SPONGY LAYER.\n Both of them are full of chloroplast and do the function of photosynthesis; but there is a difference.\n The palisade cells are located near the upper epidermis,they are elongated,test tube like in appearence and are placed at right angle to the upper epidermis like upright test tubes.( try to see the meaning of palisade in a good dictionary, it is interesting.). These palisade cells are very closely packed with very little space in between and each of them is literally packed with chloroplasts. That is why a leaf appears greener on its upper surface.Thus, they are ideally located to receive maximum sun light and do maximum photosynthesis.\n\nThe Spongy layer , on the other hand , is located near the lower epidermis of a leaf. The cells are spherical or potato shaped and with lots of intercellular spaces between them. Each cell of this layer contains (comparitively) less or far less number of chloroplasts than the palisade of the same leaf.That is why the same leaf appears pale green on its lower surface.\n This Spongy layer does the function of photosynthesis no doubt ; but it is less in quantity than that of Palisade of the same leaf. This is because it is located rather away from the light source and its main function is to help the leaf in gaseous exchange, that is why there are so many intercellular spaces.( here Photosynthesis is over)... \n\n2) STOMATA (singular stoma) -: These breathing pores are neither IN the palisade layer nor IN the spongy layer. They are a PART of the the two epidermes( upper and lower ).\n If one compares the quantity and the distribution of these stomata of one and the same leaf then they are more on the lower epidermis to help the spongy tissue in gaseous exchange during photosynthesis/respiration.\n On the upper epidermis they are far less in number to reduce or prevent exessive water loss due to transpiration.\nIn many desert plants they are either totally absent from the upper epidermis or located in sunken pits for the same reason.\nI hope you got what you sought. Bye.

The main function of chloroplast is to absorb sunlight in order for photosythesis to take place. The chloroplast consists of many thylakoids that contain a photosynthetic pigment called chlorophyll. The photons from the light react with this chlorophyll in the chloroplast to give rise to photosynthesis.\n\nHope that helps!

Water is the basic solvent in the nature .In its presence only the biochemical reactions takes place(like photosynthesis, respiration, fat metabolism)\nAbove all water gives turgidity to plants ,with out water plants will wilt  and die, this is what happens when u do not water the plant for a long time

Generally, monocots photosynthesize via the C4 pathway.  That means they have specialized internal framework called kranz anatomy to allow photosynthesis to occur.  It occurs in a different way then dicots so that their stomata dont need to stay open as long so they can conserve more water since monocots are typically found in dry climates.

You pretty much got it.\n\nDepending on which classification system you're using a simple breakdown looks like this:\n\nDomain: Eukaryotes in this case, such as protists, fungi, animals and plants\n\nKingdon: Plante\n\nDivision: The plant kingdom is divided in to divisions (not phylums like animals) - some examples (in laymans terms):  mosses, liverworts, hornworts, ferns, cycads, gnetophytes, conifers, flowering plants \n\nClass: Two of the main groups of the flowering plants are monocots (like grasses and lilies) and dicots (like sunflowers and roses\n\nOrder: The next group. The group Magniolophyta you mentioned are here.\n\nFamily: some examples... grasses, asters, roses, buttercups\n\nGenus: examples from the Pine family (these are conifers) pine, spruce, fir, juniper\n\nSpecies: (from the spruce) blue spruce, Engalman spruce, black spruce\n\nThe genus and species are used together to form the scientific name of an organisim, e.g. Picea pungens (Blue Spruce)

Cells are the little organisms that work together to make one big organism.  Your boddy has all kinds of different types of cells to do different things, like blood cells, nerve cells, etc.  Plants have root cells, leave cells (where the photosynthesis takes place, hence those are the cells with chloroplasts, which makes them do that function.)\nWhat's cools is that if you cut off a plants roots, it's cells for it's stem will become root cells and it's roots will grow back.  I don't think this works w/ peoplw/animals.  With people, a fetus's cells that have not been defined to a certain "task" yet will all do different things and can change to what they are needed for where they are as the fetus develops.  After it's defined, though, I don't animal/human cells can change as plant ones can, though.

plants consist of cells lik anmals have.the difference is plants contain chloroplast to make their own food and animals dont have chloroplast but plants do contain mitochondria lik anmal cells and thus keep utilising the food  by respiration that they  had made during photosynthesis.if they dont  bring about resperation that is utilisation of the food they make thy will die hence plants carry out photosynthesis and respiration tooo

u will get all the information u need on botony frm the below link\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower#Flower_anatomy

Too little information.\n\nWhere did you get it (ie. what state or contry)?\nHow many petals do the flowers have?\nHow many stamens?\n\nA picture of the actual flower would help, since most plant classification is based on flower structure.
