Muddiest Point

where do the electrons come from in the photosynthesis process, and where do they go/what do they do?

Muddiest Point

Can you please tell me what the role of ATP and electron carriers (NADP+) are in photosynthesis?

Muddiest Point

My muddiest point for this unit is on capillary action. I am confused on what it is.

Thanks

Muddiest Point 3/20

My muddiest point for this unit is number 9 on the objectives page. It says, understand life cycle of angiosperms including the process of double fertilization and seed formation. (pollen tube, polar nuclei, ovule, endosperm). I know that angiosperms are plants that flower, but I am confused on this whole idea.

3/20 SCRIBE

Today in class we took our lab quiz. After that, we discussed Pollination (Self and Cross). Self pollination occurs when the anthers of the flower are taller than the stigma. The pollen falls onto the stigma and creates a long tube to the ovary. Cross pollination is when wind or some other factors carry one plant's pollen to another plant's stigma. Homework: National Parks projected submitted to Mrs. Stein by 7:30, Read 24.2, Muddiest Point, Comments by Thursday, POD quiz Thursday, Test Friday, and Readings on UP 3.

The next Scribe will be: PeterS

GabbyM's Muddiest Point

What is the function of a cortex in a root? Also, what is the function of a vascular cylinder? I know that if there is a vascular cylinder, it is a root, but I don't know the function of it.

Muddiest Point

My mussiest point is telling the difference between a moncot and dicot root. How can you tell the difference between the two?

Class on 2/24 and 2/25



Today in class we looked over the two plants of the day. The first one we looked over was the
VENUS FLY TRAP. The second one we looked over was the BASEBALL PLANT.

We went over the 4 characteristics of the plant kingdom.
1. Eukaryotic
2. Photosynthesis, autotrophic, and contains chloroplasts.
3. Cell wall with cellulose
2. Photosynthesis, autotrophic, and contains chloroplasts.
4. Multicellular

We also talked about the phylogenetic tree. The Green Algae and the Mosses have to live in moist environments due to the fact that they do not contain true - water conducting tissues.
We also went over our quiz.

Things plants need to survive.
1. CO2 for photosynthesis.
2. water for photosynthesis.
3. sunlight (energy)
4. minerals (nitrogen)
5. O2 for cellular respiration!

- Plant's mitochondria get glucose from photosynthesis.

Challenges for plants moving from water to land.
1. The ability to obtain water some way.
2. Prevent from dying due to direct sunlight
3. REPRODUCTION

NEXT SCRIBE WILL BE PETER FOX
