is that they assist with logging forests, carry heavy material, and assist as transportation. They have the ability to walk in areas where machines are unable to go, their vital role in an ecosystem is they modify the habitat that affects all other plants and animals. They provide water for other animals by digging water holes in the dry seasons (they can easily locate water underground). They make paths in the forest by pushing brush and pulling down trees and also disperse seeds of fruits by depositing

ripening are very unique to plants. They represent an important component of human and animal’s diets. Analyses of fruit –ripening mutants and ripening –related gene expression suggest higher levels of a development that remains to be defined. A fruit not only protects the seeds inside it, but also may aid in dispersing those seeds away from the parent plant. The dispersal of seeds is important because it reduces competition for sunlight, soil, and water between the parent plants. The role of sunlight

Whitney Food Chain A food chain is a chain that describes the way food is made from beginning to end to provided the organisms with something to eat. Every organism is different when it comes to what they eat, for example; some eat plants or other organisms. The food chain starts with the primary energy source, otherwise known as the sun, which provides the light and heat. Next in the food chain is the primary producers, which make their own food from the sunlight, photosynthesis is an example

TREE GOD MOTTO: My motto is to help people, plants, animals and birds to live a happy and healthy life without polluting the environment but save more for the future and make it brighter. NOTE: Without tree there is no life. A mother gives us life by giving us birth and a tree is even greater than a mother as it gives us birth every day, every second to numerous living beings in this earth. IDEA: The idea about my plan is regarding a social service that is helpful to the environment

INTRODUCTION Photosynthesis is the process in which plants can convert light energy into chemical energy to fulfill all of the functions of life. Iron and magnesium are nutrients that play an important role in photosynthesis. Deficiency in either of these nutrients will lead to a change in the photosynthetic rate of plants such as Lemma minor (duckweed). Magnesium is a mobile nutrient that affects older plants before it affects younger plants. Iron is a fairly immobile nutrient that causes chlorosis

PLANT EVOLUTION Plant Evolution Colette Andrews Strayer University SCI 115 Dr. David Davies November 24, 2012 Plant Evolution has been around for millions of years. In fact, plants were the first species on earth and the first to live on land (“Plant Evolution”, D. Davies, accessed 11/24/12). For 1500 million year’s photosynthetic organisms remained in the sea. This is because, in the absence of a protective ozone layer, the land was bathed in lethal levels of UV radiation. Once atmospheric

paleontologists estimate that well over 90 percent of all plant and animal species that ever existed have gone extinct. The Koala is a small marsupial that lives in eucalyptus trees in Australia. These nocturnal (most active at night) animals spend 18 to 20 hours each day resting and sleeping. They are social animals. Koalas are not bears; their closest relative is the wombat. The genus and species of the koala is Phascolarctos cinereus. These herbivores (plant-eaters) eat eucalyptus leaves. Koalas have a

Inquiry Research Paper Every plant is different. There are no two plants that are the same, nor are there two that grow the same way. Some plants grow in hot, dry environments while others grow in cold, damp environments. Some plants grow in the tropical rain forests while others grow in prairies. Even plants that are in the same family can grow in different climates and environments. Plants can be as similar as they are different. Plants need certain factors to be able to thrive in an environment

Edible Oil Mill Machinery technology has undergone a tremendous change ever since beginning of oil milling through various seeds, One of the most important point in the oil milling was the inception of Oilseed Mills. These mills use dry flax seed that doesn't have any fine or coarse impurities. These seeds are generally delivered to the oil mill in bags or baskets, as these are the by-product of the crop, flax fiber. In case the flax seed is not dry, it is dried by simple spreading the seeds on the
