Plant Experiment Brainstorm Lettuce vs. beets measuring sensitivity to salinity no lettuce? flowers of vegetables? are vegetables more sensitive to salinity? which vegetable is more sensitive? Experimental Groupers. Control Group -Variables: % of salinity 1/11/24 Plant Bio (day 1) Textback Checkpoints -read textbook before or after class (your choice) -this time I'll have to do it after class -survey, question, read, review, recite Powerpoints posted AFTER class! Requirements: -remain open-minded -be curious -ask lots of questions -put into practice what we have learned don't sing the song! Plant Assignment B1.0 individually, due one group week submit on Brightspace Assignment: Go through your day and list 10 ways you interact/use plants in your daily routine. The house plants (watering them, making sure they get sun, etc.) Plant-based cleaning products Essential oils Paper & pencils Nature walks (plants for shade) Plant toothpicks Cotton clothing Oxygen (which we breathe) Food Rotten is a fruit! (the seeds are inside it) Poison ivy has oils that can cause Forest bathing - spending time meditating in nature Angiosperms - flowers Cycad (gymnosperm) - tropical Algae doesn't count as a plant b/c it's not adapted to life on land Kelp = seaweed (which is a protist) Xylem transports water & phloem transports sugar Xylem & phloem & vascular tissues Plant Assignment #6 - Invasive Species PSA English Ivy (Hedera helix) species of flowering plant in the family Araliaceae native to Europe and western Asia evergreen vine that climbs strangles & kills other plants by blocking their access to sunlight 2/7/2024 Add Chart Element -> Air Bars -> Air Bar Options Biomass Equation - Jenkins et al. (based on forest type) Total Biomass 2017: 22313.02 kg Total Biomass 2020: 23440.17 kg TOTAL BIOMASS: 45,753.19 Visual Elements: Title: "Plant Assignment #6 - Invasive Species PSA" Subtitles: "English Ivy (Hedera helix)" and "Biomass Equation - Jenkins et al." Bullet points: List of characteristics of English Ivy Date: "2/7/2024" Text boxes: Text boxes containing the biomass equation and total biomass values Handwritten text: All content is handwritten Gridlines: The text is written on a gridded paper background Biodiversity Only about 391k of discovered species are vascular plants (out of 8.7 billion species) Threats to Biodiversity habitat loss extinction lower population sizes taxonomy - naming of organisms systematics - methods to organize & classify organisms in related groups phylogeny of land plants plants & algae share chlorophyll, carotenoids, starch as a food reserve, & cellulose in cell walls monophyletic group vs. paraphyletic group most recent common ancestor synapomorphy - common trait What came first - the mitochondrion or the chloroplasts? Kingdom Fungi eukaryotic, multicellular absorbers heterotrophic lack plastids Kingdom Protista unicellular/simple multicellular eukaryotes protozoa & water molds also include algae Kingdom Plantae eukaryotic, multicellular photosynthesizers alternation of generations Gametophyte -> Egg/Sperm Spores meiosis n fertilization 2n Sporophyte < Fungi or Plants? Or both?
