Service Project (Garden)

I talked Mr. Bursch and decided to beautify a garden for my service project. It was a native garden so we got bought drought resistant native plants. We went to Home Depot and picked up soil, a shovel and two plants. One was a Rosemary plant and one was a sage plant. We brought them to school, dug two holes, poured fresh dirt and then planted them. We watered the and picked up all the trash that was around in the garden. All totaled the materials and plant cost $40.00.

prices:

shovel: $8.00
plants: $14.00(each)
soil: $7.00

Blog Post #7: Anthers and Stigmas and Styles, Oh My: Dissection of a Flower

This image shows the anthers surrounding the stigma on a flower. The anther is the part of the flower where the pollen is produced. The stigma is the part of the flower where pollen germinates. When both the female and male parts are visible in the same flower the flower is thought to be "excellent ". This photo shows the stamen of the flower. The stamen is the pollen producer. It usually has a slender filament supporting the anther. It's the male reproductive anatomy of the flower, it consists of a stock known as the filament and at the end of the stalk is a part called the anther This picture shows the female anatomy of a flower known as the carpel The carpel is a structure that produces egg cells and protects a developing baby plant . The three main parts of a carpel are the stigma, style, and ovary. This is an image of the flower with the stamens, sepals, petals and the top of the carpel removed, leaving it was just the ...

Which part (anatomy) or characteristic of the Brassica oleracea plants seems to exhibit the most variation (greatest number of different forms)? Which part or characteristic of the Brassica oleracea plants seems to show the greatest range of variation (biggest difference between one extreme and its opposite)? Use and include data collected from multiple measurements to support your answer. The part of the plant that showed the most variation was the leaves. The length, width, and appearance of the leaves were different. I noticed that some of the leaves would be as long as 8.1 inches, while the shortest leafs length would be as small as 2.3 inches. The largest width being 5.7 inches and the smallest being 2.3. The leaves of the plants also showed variation in appearance. Some plants had light green leaves while others had dark purple leaves. The part of the plant that offered the mos...

Blog Post #6: How Does Your Garden Grow

Question 1: Our plant has grown significantly since we last checked up on it. This is Because of a number of things. It all starts with cell division also known as mitosis. This is a process that is in charge development and growth within a eukaryotic cell. There are five stages of mitosis. prophase, interphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. There is also cytokinesis when the cell actually splits. In prophase Chromosomes become visible, the nucleolus disappears, the mitotic spindle forms, and the nuclear envelope disappears. Chromosomes become more coiled and can be viewed under a microscope! In interphase cellular organelles double in number, the DNA replicates, and protein synthesis occurs. The chromosomes are not visible and the DNA appears as uncoiled chromatin. In metaphase the microtubules of the spindle have attached and the chromosomes have lined up on the metaphase plate. In anaphase each sister chromatid of a chromosome has spindle fib...
