Have you ever wondered which flower would absorb something the fastest? Or Which flower will change color in food dye the fastest? Carnations will absorb it the fastest. This statement is the hypothesis of the whole project. It can be proven right or wrong. This question needs to be explored it is interesting to know which flower will absorb a liquid up first. It is important because it gives you a look into the scientific world of how flowers absorb food dye and shows you such things like, How is a flower able to get enough water. Well now this may have you wondering, how is a flower able to get enough water? Well a flower absorbs water with its whole service. The main part that absorbs most of the water is the plants root hairs. The
The first to use native dye plants in the United States were the Native Americans. Their culture was totally dependent on what the land produced. This is reflected in the wealth of information Native Americans possessed about useful plants, from medicinal to ceremonial and dye plants. This is reflected in the types of houses they built and the names of places (often after the plants that grew there). Early European colonists foolishly ignored the wisdom of the Native Americans and modern Americans are not much wiser. Americans need to learn about the plants and animals in our own country and how they can be useful to mankind. Instead of bringing non-adapted species of Europe to North America we need to learn what native adapted species can fulfill our needs and wants (Gilmore 1977). For example, we spend thousands of dollars feeding, sheltering, and caring for European cattle when we have native bovines, bison which are naturally adapted to the climate and environment. Melvin Randolph Gilmore sums this idea up well in the following quote:
Experiment #3: The purpose of this experiment to test the chromatography of plant pigments the alcohol test strip test will be used.

Despite the popular belief that all flowers have an equal opportunity when it comes to attracting pollinators the competition over the basic needs of angiosperms causes the practice of deceptive pollination to be very common. Pollination is in most cases a mutualistic relationship that requires some form of benefit to both the pollinator and the flowering plant. The pollinator is attracted to a flower that looks like they can offer food or shelter. However if the flower lacks the benefit of a reward there is a low chance that the pollinator would find the flower desirable enough to pollinate. It is estimated that a large portion of angiosperms are non-rewarding, as a result most rely on the use of other pollination strategies, such as deception to attract pollinators. In deceptive pollination when a flower advertises a reward that they do not actually posses it is known as mimicry. There are two types of mimicry when it comes to deceptive pollination. The awards that the flower mimics are either nutritive or reproductive.
As a result of these factors, the flora has adapted to these conditions in a variety of ways including their shape, leaf type, root system, and color. One of the most prominent adapt...
The milkweed plant consist of different speciation’s such as perennial, evergreen, and the majority, which are deciduous. These flowers typically bloom late spring and the end of the summer, which is what allows the monarch’s to travel, because they conserve the energy from the nectar of the flower, which is glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar that is an energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates. The process of the milkweed flower begins with photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy, which consist of sugars and organic mixtures. The process of photosynthesis involves multiple chemical reactions that require carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and chemical energy stored to form the organic sugars which the monarch will use as energy. In the milkweed plant photosynthesis takes place in the
If a plant cell is places in a hypotonic solution the cell has a lower water concentration to that of the solution. Water will move into the cell by osmosis from a high water concentration outside the cell to a lower water concentration inside the cell through a selectively permeable membrane. The cell becomes turbid

Materials used in the experiment included 5-7 g of the potato tissue, 50ml of 2.0M phosphate buffer coffee filter and guaiacol dye.
Permeability of Beetroot Cell Membranes. An experiment to investigate how temperature affects the Permeability of beetroot cell membranes. Interpretation of Results:. 0 ° C 20° C 30° C 40° C 55° C 0.24 0.28 0.75 0.79 0.22 0.26 0.35 0.41 0.81 From 0°C to 30°C there is a gradual increase in absorbency which shows that as the temperature increases it is denaturing the cell wall and cell membrane and allowing the beetroot pigment to leek out into the distilled water.
Two members of the group were instructed to visit the laboratory each day of the experiment to water and measure the plants (Handout 1). The measurements that were preformed were to be precise and accurate by the group by organizing a standardized way to measure the plants. The plants were measured from the level of the soil, which was flat throughout all the cups, to the tip of the apical meristems. The leaves were not considered. The watering of the plants took place nearly everyday, except for the times the lab was closed. Respective of cup label, the appropriate drop of solution was added to the plant, at the very tip of the apical meristems.
The adaptations for plants that primary use this means of dispersion vary in different species, ranging from thick coats on fruits or seeds to large spaces of air for buoyancy.
Kool-Aid, strawberry ice cream, and Doritos: What do these things have in common? Whether you realize it or not, many ordinary foods contain dyes. Some of the dyes are natural; others are synthetic. Is one better than the other?
These flowers also have a wide range of colors; white, yellow, blue, pink, and red. They are bisexual and may either be protogynous, perigynous, or epigenous flowers. The flowers themselves have many stamen and petals depending on the genera that it is a part of. From research the main parts of the flowers that are investigated are the initiation of stamen, sepals, carpels and petals of the flower and also the phyllotaxy or arrangement of the petals and sepals of the flower. Initiation is the way the stamen can be inside of the flower. The initiations of stamens are simultaneously multi-whorled and those of carpels are simultaneously single-whorled in the Nymphaeaceae family (Guang-Wan and others, 2009 ). Furthermore, there are other characteristics of this family that make them quite interesting and this is due to the fact of their blooming and size. This flower can bloom night or day, Nymphaea genera does both, and will become dormant after each blooming and can become up to 15 inches wide, those are mainly found in the Victoria genera. The most important part of the flower is reproduction and pollination. These two actions are different than in other flowering plants because they are submerged in
Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a weaker solution to a stronger solution through a partially permeable membrane. A partially permeable membrane only allows small molecules to pass through, so the larger molecules remain in the solution they originated in. Solute molecule [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Water molecule [IMAGE] The water molecules move into the more concentrated solution. When water enters a plant cell it swells up. The water pushes against the cell wall and the cell eventually contains all that it can hold.
