Do Plant Hormones Travel In The Air? Ethylene can be produced in almost any part of a plant, and can diffuse through the plant’s tissue, outside the plant, and travel through the air to affect a totally different plant. How are growth regulators transported in plants? A plant growth regulator is a chemical that controls
How Are Animals Involved In The Life Cycle Of Plants? While plants are fertilized by external forces like wind and animals, animals must copulate in order to reproduce. If a viable fetus is created, the female animal gives birth to the infant and the animals care for the offspring until it reaches maturity. How do
How Can The Life Cycles Of Plants Be Altered? Plants alternate between diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte generations, and between sexual and asexual reproduction. The ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually gives plants the flexibility to adapt to changing environments. Their complex life cycle allows for great variation. What causes alternation of generation? Later,
How Can You Record Data On Your Plants Health? Count and record the number of leaves on each plant. Count every visible leaf on the plant, including the tips of new leaves just beginning to emerge. You may want to place the plant over some graph paper to avoid counting errors. How do you record
Can You Grow Plants On Mars? Can you grow plants on Mars? Research suggests Martian soil has some of the nutrients plants need to grow and survive (see “Plants’ Nutrients,” right). But because of Mars’s extremely cold conditions, plants such as Watney’s potatoes would need to grow inside a controlled environment, such as his Hab.
Can You Grow Food On Mars? Can you grow food on Mars? If we were to grow food on Mars, it would most likely need to be done hydroponically initially, using artificial light. Without the protective influence of a thick atmosphere, the radiation from the sun would mutate and damage the crops if grown on
Do All Stems Grow Upward? Do all stems grow upward? Stems are a part of the shoot system of a plant. They may range in length from a few millimeters to hundreds of meters, and also vary in diameter, depending on the plant type. Stems are usually above ground, although the stems of some plants,
What Factors Impact Plant Growth? What factors impact plant growth? Plants need five things in order to grow: sunlight, proper temperature, moisture, air, and nutrients. These five things are provided by the natural or artificial environments where the plants live. If any of these elements are missing they can limit plant growth. What are the
What Factors Affect Plant Growth? What factors affect plant growth? Plants need five things in order to grow: sunlight, proper temperature, moisture, air, and nutrients. These five things are provided by the natural or artificial environments where the plants live. If any of these elements are missing they can limit plant growth. What are the
What Effects Do Hormones Have Within A Growing Plant? What effects do hormones have within a growing plant? There are five major types of plant hormones: auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, ethylene and abscisic acid. Each hormone has a distinct job and for oilseed, pulse and cereal crops, auxins and cytokinins can greatly improve plant vigor, promote
