1. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis\n\n2. the acrosome is an organelle that develops over the anterior half of the spermatozoon's head. It is a cap-like structure derived from the Golgi apparatus. Acrosome formation is completed during testicular maturation. In Eutherian mammals the acrosome contains digestive enzymes (including hyaluronidase and acrosin).\n\n3. A centriole in biology is a barrel shaped microtubule structure found in most animal cells, and cells of fungi and algae though not frequently in plants. The walls of each centriole are usually composed of nine triplet microtubules, although Drosophila embryos have nine doublets and Caenorhabditis elegans sperm cells and early embryos have nine singlets.Centrioles are important in the cell division process, organizing the mitotic spindle upon which the chromosomes are pulled apart. \n\n4. A flagellum (plural, flagella) is a whip-like organelle that many unicellular organisms, and some multicellular ones, use to move about. They may also be involved in other processes. The name actually covers three different structures, found in each of the three domains. Bacterial flagella are helical filaments that rotate like screws. Archaeal flagella are superficially similar, but are different in many details and considered non-homologous. Eukaryotic flagella - those of animal, plant, and protist cells - are complex cellular projections that lash back and forth. Sometimes the last are called cilia or undulipodia to emphasize their distinctiveness.\n\n5. The endoplasmic reticulum or ER (endoplasmic means "within the cytoplasm," reticulum means "little net") is an organelle found in all eukaryotic cells. It is part of the endomembrane system. The ER modifies proteins, makes macromolecules, and transfers substances throughout the cell. Prokaryotic organisms do not have membranous organelles and thus do not have an ER. The basic structure and composition of the ER is similar to the plasma membrane, although it is actually an extension of the nuclear membrane. The ER is the site of the translation, folding, and transport of proteins that are to become part of the cell membrane (e.g., transmembrane receptors and other integral membrane proteins) as well as proteins that are to be secreted or "exocytosed" from the cell (e.g., digestive enzymes).\n\n6. Glyoxysomes are membrane-bound organelles found in plants, particularly in the fat storage tissues of germinating seeds. Glyoxysomes contain enzymes that initiate the breakdown and conversion of fatty acids to sugars, which the emerging seedling uses as an energy and carbon source until it is able to produce its own sugar by photosynthesis. In this pathway, fatty acids are hydroylzed to acetyl-CoA for the glyoxylate bypass\n\nthere are so many more organelles........

The maize grain is a fruit in botany and that is for certain.\n\nNow let us see how it confirms to the definition of caryopsis. It is a clear botanical term used in the fruit morphology.\n\n1) Caryopsis is a simple , dry , indehiscent fruit that develops from a superior ovary of a monocarpellary gynoecium\n  Maize shows all these features as it IS a dry fruit and does not break open automatically on its own so INDEHISCENT fruit. It has a simple flower with a single carpel so MONOCARPELLARY gynoecium.\n\n2) In addition to the above mentioned features. In Maize the TESTA ( seed coat or the wall of the seed ) is inseparably fused with the PERICARP ( wall of the fruit ).\n   It is called HULL.This is the qualifying character of \n    CARYOPSIS. This hull shows a tiny scar at the top indicating that the grain is in fact a fruit and not seed.\n \n I hope this will clear your doubt.\n\n All plants that are commonly called 'cereals' belong to Grass family or Poaceae family ( old name Gramineae family)\n  and they show caryopsis fruit. All of them have endospermic seed and many are invaluable for man.

Hmm, you are in luck.  I am a biologist/chemist with a little ecology and botany knowledge and I might be able to help you out here.  But in the future, procrastination is not the answer.  Trust me, I know.\n\nAnywho, on with your project.  And, kudos to your teach.  He is getting you ready for college.  Lets see, you are wanting to germinate seeds.  It would be feasable to choose seeds with very quick germination times as probably you don't have a very long time to perform this experiment.  Some grasses will germinate in as little as 7 days.  With a little research, you can find your own seeds to use.  Next, you are going to have to decide what treatments you want to apply to each group.  And by each group, you need to have more than one "cup" of seeds, more like 4 or 5.  That is for replication.  By treatments, you could use things like adding different types of fertalizer in each group.  Use fertalizers that differ in the amount of phosphourus, nitrogen, and potassium (3 primary nutrients required by plants.)  Then, with multiple groups recieving the same kinds of fertalizer, vary the amount of sunlight (preferably artificial, like an incandesant lamp) and amount of water given.  What you will end up with is something like this:\n\nfertalizer A - 15 cups; each cup gets 1 tb of fertalizer\n      Cups 1-5 get 10mL of water and 12 hrs of "sunlight" daily\n      Cups 6-10 get 10mL of water and no "sunlight" daily\n      Cups 11-15 get no water and 12 hrs of "sunlight" daily\nRepeat this for say, 3 or 4 different types of fertalizer over a 10 to 15 day period.  Also, have 15 cups that follow the above procedure but get NO fertalizer.  After the 10 to 15 days, compare growth of the plants by measuring (probably in mm) the amount of growth produced.  \n\nBy performing a little research of your own and whatever plant seed you decide to use, you can base your hypothesis on how each fertalizer "should" affect your seeds and how much they "should" grow.\n\nFor example, lets say nitrogen is the main nutrient needed by grass.  Any of the fertalizers used that are low in nitrogen would not grow as much as the ones that get the nitrogen.  And those that do get the nitrogen, the ones that get water and sun will grow more than the others that get only sun or only water.  So, your hypothesis would be something like this:  The seeds that recieve adequate amounts of light, water, and nitrogen will have more growth after x amount of days than the other plants.  Then, you perform the experiment and see what you get.  \n\nGood luck on your experiment and if you remember, let me know what your teach thinks and what grade you get!

Remember that evolution usually takes the path of least resistance.  C4 metabolisms are an advance over C3 by compartmentalization.  This means creating specialized tissues.  Specialized tissues are metabolically expensive to form and maintain.  If a plant can get by with a C3 metabolism for all of its shortcomings and in-efficiencies it will do so.  Also C4 metabolism is adapted for periodic high intensity heat.  A great majority of the world does not experience that type of environment so that type of adaptation is not necessary.  When you look at it that way you could also ask why more plants don't have a CAM metabolism.

Camellia (Tsubaki in Japanese) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae, native to eastern and southern Asia from the Himalaya east to Japan and Indonesia. \n        There is some controversy over the number of existent species, with anything from 100–250 species being accepted.  The genus was named by Linnaeus after Fr. Georg Joseph Kamel S.J., a Jesuit botanist.\n           They are evergreen shrubs and small trees from 2–20 m tall. The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, thick, serrated, usually glossy, and 3–17 cm long. The flowers are large and conspicuous, 1–12 cm diameter, with (in natural conditions) 5–9 petals; colour varies from white to pink and red, and yellow in a few species. The fruit is a dry capsule subdivided into 1–5 compartments, each containing 1–8 seeds.\n            The genus is generally adapted to acidic soils, and does not grow well on chalk or other calcium-rich soils. Most species also have a high rainfall requirement and will not tolerate drought.\n           Camellia species are used as food plants by the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species - see list of Lepidoptera which feed on Camellia.\n\nCultivation and uses:\n         Camellia sinensis is of major commercial importance because tea is made from its leaves. Tea oil is a sweet seasoning and cooking oil made by pressing the seeds of Camellia sinensis or Camellia oleifera.\n\n              Many other camellias are grown as ornamental plants for their flowers; about 3,000 cultivars and hybrids have been selected, many with double flowers, as in the gallery below. Camellia japonica (often simply called Camellia) is the most prominent species in cultivation, with over 2,000 named cultivars; next are C. reticulata, with over 400 named cultivars, and C. sasanqua, with over 300 named cultivars. Popular hybrids include C. × hiemalis (C. japonica × C. sasanqua) and C. × williamsii (C. japonica × C. salouenensis). They are highly valued in Japan and elsewhere for their very early flowering, often among the first flowers to appear in the late winter. Late frosts can damage the flowers.\n\n            Camellias have a slow growth rate. Typically they will grow about 30 centimetres a year until mature although this varies depending on variety and location.\n\n             Camellia japonica is the state flower of Alabama as well as the city flower of the Chinese municipality Chongqing.\n\nI hope u find the info useful. \nJay

rice,wheat,potato,etc...r some of the C-3 plants.....when they r exposed to co2(14),they produce 3C compound called phosphoglyceric acid.....this occurs only in mesophyll cells at an optimum temp of 20-25 degree C. Here photorespiration rate is high & leads to loss of fixed CO2. It also decreases CO2 fixation rate....
