...The Pretty Green Leaf You smoke marijuana for medicinal use, and you grow it, yourself? “Hell yes!” was the response from many members of this meeting. I was dreading this fourth Monday of the month. I was just too curious to pass it up. I knew I had to be there to find out how this subculture really was. I kept reminding myself, of how I grew up. In foster homes, you see a lot of terrible things. This can’t be that bad. The meeting started. The members the members sat casually and socialized, and discussed ways to make each other’s lives better. I was sitting and listening, grateful the welcoming I received. The whole room was chatting about their cultivation. It was already evident that they all have the same belief. The marijuana helps their ailments. As the night went on, my curiosity grew stronger. My thirty-seven-year old mind was hooked on the fascination of it all. Speakers rotated and gave advice on many topics. The first speaker spoke of the laws and regulations. Next, there was a young woman who explained some of her new organic soil. The tw- hour meeting seemed to fly by, as each person spoke. As I listened to each person, I encountered several different ailments. The range was quite extreme. The most common seemed to be migraines. I heard many different stories. I recall a few the most. One of the conversations I had was a nice lady who explained to me why she uses it. She described the excruciating pain in her legs, due to her diabetes. She expressed her reasoning...

...offspring is called gene transmission. (Bailey, 2014) In the 1860’s a monk, Gregor Mendel set basic principles for heredity. His first law was Mendel’s law of segregation. He discovered this law while studying pea plants. He studied a series of seven different traits. (Bailey, 2014) He first observed and confirmed through experimentation that one pea plant of a certain color could self fertilize and produce another pea plant of the same color. He referred to the process of these self-fertilizing pea plants as true-breeding. (Urry et. Al, 2014) Mendel continued his studies of pea plants by testing that outcome of cross-pollination between two true-breeding plants. He took the two parent plants, one green and one yellow, and found the offspring to be all green. He continued experimenting by crossing two of the offspring from the first generation plants. Mendel found that in the second generation, an offspring color appeared from the parents that were lost in the first generation. His law of segregation explains that allele pairs segregate during the formation stage, but are capable of uniting during the fertilization stage. (Bailey 2014) Offspring inherit specific genes from their parents to obtain a certain identity through reproduction. The offspring have a specific DNA encoding within each gene that is made up of a sequence of nucleotides. These nucleotides are placed at a locus somewhere along a precise chromosome. (Urry et....

... Photosynthesis is not only important to the survival of plants, but to the existence of most of life on Earth. Green plants are a vital part of the circle of life because they ultimately provide food for consumers (organisms that rely on eating other organisms, like plants) to survive. Photosynthesis is also important in the exchange of carbon dioxide to oxygen, 2 very important inorganic compounds needed for all life forms. Process of photosynthesis: Heterotrophs, like fungi and animals, must consume to survive, but autotrophs, like plants, algae, and cynobacteria, make their own food. In other words, plants do not grow from absorbing nutrients from the soil, but they also use the process of photosynthesis to make food. Plants “breath in” carbon dioxide (a raw material for photosynthesis) through small openings in their leaves, called stomata. Stomata are responsible delivering carbon dioxide to mesophyll cells. The roots of plants absorb water into a vascular tissue, which travels up to the plant’s leaves. Then the water and carbon dioxide diffuse into chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are the organelles that carry out photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are responsible for giving leaves their green color. This is because chlorophyll, the green pigment found in chloroplasts, is produced because of the sunlight, which absorbs all colors of light but green. Other plant pigments, called carotenoids, are energy-capturing molecules that...

...Liza Shayevich 10/17/15 8A Autumn Days isn't it funny how we think that it's so beautiful when the leaves start to change? I mean, they are basically dying, their time is up. We don't really notice them when they are so green, and full of life. We only notice they when they come back in the spring, to make everything that was once dead look alive again. But when they are there, just there on the trees and the bushes in general, do we as humans appreciate them? Do we really appreciate the color they bring to this earth, and the shade they give us? No, not really. Sure we say they are beautiful and colorful, and they make everything so festive, but weren't they beautiful and colorful every day before then? So what do leaves think about during the seasons, and up to the Fall? Once upon a time, a leaf sprouted at the end of a branch, belonging to a very large and magnificent tree. He was like any other leaf, with no name. it was early spring, and he was a small little green leaf. Fall was long ways away, and so he knew nothing of his upcoming future. Spring was going by and the leaf grew and grew, and kept turning a more vibrant green. He had seen many things while he was growing. He had seen different woodland creatures, like squirrels and deer. He had seen children playing by the tree, and he got kind of jealous by the fact that hey can move around, but he knew that he was doing an important job, and he knew he could not just leave to do what he wanted. He had...

...the green light was recorded by following the same exact procedures. However, before beginning the experiment, the water in the beaker was turned to a green color by applying three drops of green dye. Once this occurred, the same procedures for the white light experiment were followed and the data was recorded in the same format as it was for the white light. Once all the data was collected, the calculations for gross photosynthesis and rate of photosynthesis were compared by creating a bar graph to determine which type of light produced more...

...Izzaaz Haaziq Hishamudin Life Science Lab Report. Section 808 Photosynthesis. 19th of October 2012. Introduction Definition: Photosynthesis is the physico-chemical process by which plants, algae and photosynthetic bacteria use light energy to drive the synthesis of organic compounds. In plants, algae and certain types of bacteria, the photosynthetic process results in the release of molecular oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere that is used to synthesize carbohydrates (oxygenic photosynthesis) Whitmarsh, John. "THE PHOTOSYNTHETIC PROCESS." Life Science. N.p., n.d. Web. 16 Oct. 2012. <http://www.life.illinois.edu/govindjee/paper/gov.html>. Photosynthesis equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy C6H12O6 + 6O2 Light reaction: The light reaction happens in the thylakoid membrane and converts to chemical energy from light energy. Therefore, this reaction must take place in the light. Chlorophyll and several other pigments like beta carotene are organized in clusters in the thylakoid membrane and are involved in the light reaction. Dark reaction: The dark reaction occurs in the stroma, inside the chloroplast, and converts carbon dioxide to sugar. Although this reaction does not need light energy for it to take place, it does need ATP and NADPH. Dark reaction also includes the “Calvin cycle,” where carbon dioxide and the energy from ATP are used to make sugar. Chloroplast structure: An outer and inner membrane. Inside the inner membrane is a mix of...

...or a one-room apartment whose single window faces into an air shaft. (House Plants, 1975) Artificial lighting is the answer for almost any kind of plant that can be grown if enough artificial light is provided, even in situations where no other light is available. Artificial lights allow regular people to plant whole gardens in places where no plant would ordinarily grow. A lesson in cell metabolism-energy and photosynthesis mentions that “chlorophyll absorbs most red, orange, blue, and violet light. It reflects green and yellow light, giving its body a green coloring”. This statement got the researchers curious and wondered if plants act differently to the green and yellow colors of light, then they should have different reactions and effects to every color of light. (Capco C., Yang G., 2010). This study aimed to find if there exist a significiant difference in the growth of plants when exposed to different colors of light specifically red, yellow, green, blue, and white. In this case, the researchers chose the mongo plant since it grows quickly and the researchers can quickly gather the needed data immediately. B. Statement of the Problem This study determined and compared the effect of different colors of light on the growth of mongo plants. Furthermore, it addressed the following...

...white light is shone on the leaf disks in the beaker containing sodium bicarbonate, then the amount of time it takes for the four leaf disks to float will be faster than yellow and red light because visible light includes all wavelengths of color. For this experiment, the hypothesis was refuted. The amount of time that it took the leaf disks to float was faster than the red light, but it was not faster than the yellow light. While the white light had an average rate of 360 seconds, yellow light had an average rate of 224 seconds, and red light had an average rate of 488.75 seconds. The hypothesis for the red light experiment was: If red light is shone on the leaf disks in the beaker...

...the means by which the energy in sunlight becomes usable to living things. Living things can eat glucose, we can't eat sunlight. | Exactly why is photosynthesis so important? | Two big reasons. One product of photosynthesis is glucose (sugar), which provides the basis for most food chains. The second product of photosynthesis is oxygen which comes in handy if your happen to be an aerobic organism that requires oxygen for survival. | Where does photosythesis occur? | This question can be answered on various levels. On the planetary level, most photosynthesis occurs in the oceans, because the oceans occupy the vast majority (70%) of the earth's surface. In terms of organisms, photosynthesis occurs in autotrophes that contain the green pigment chlorophyll. This would include the entire plant kingdom, "half" of the...
