Document Summary

Collection plus cultivation of medicinal plants and opium. Some cases: pharmacopoeias specify cultivated species, such as fennel, ginger, cinnamon and opium. Opium: only official growers may legally produce herbs. Other herbs: senna, tragacanth etc, may be collected from wild or cultivated. Potentially difficult to transport herb to area of processing. Collector ignorance admixture of other plants, collection of undesired plant parts or stage of development or during an incorrect season loss of medicinal activity. Only desired species are collected uniform quality. Collection, transport and access to processing facilities is improved. Better control of soil quality, pests and plant disease. Cultivation of medicinal plants requires intensive care and management. The conditions and duration of cultivation required vary depending on the quality of medicinal plant materials required. Vegetative propagation can be defined as regeneration or formation of a new individual from any vegetative part of the plant body.

Read the paragraph below carefully and answer the questions that follows.

1 My name is Maddox Smith. 2 I am the Treasurer of the San Marcos High School Charity Club. 3 We're having a canned food drive. 4 This event is going to be off the hook and raise lots of dough for the homeless peeps. 5 It's just two weeks away and I am writing to ask for your help. 6 The Charity Club is planning to place collection boxes for canned food items at various local stores. 7 We'd love it if you would allow us to place a bin at Shop Mart. 8 All of the collections from the food drive will go to the local food bank to be sent out to local families who are really, super poor.

Choose the revision of sentence 8 that is most appropriate for a business letter proposal.

◯ This event is going to be cool and raise lots of cash for the homeless people.

◯ This event will be off the hook and raise a good deal of dough for needy families.

◯ This event will be successful in raising donations for local families in need.

◯ This event is going to be extra special and raise a great deal of donations for local families in need.

◯ The sentence is appropriate as is.

Discovering Photosynthesis Experiment

In this activity you will review the data from an experiment that tested what happens to plants when they don't receive a specific nutrient. You will draw conclusions and answer questions based on the data from the experiment.

Background Information:

Plants go through a process called photosynthesis to make their own food. Photosynthesis is a process that uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make sugars. The sugars then go through a process called cellular respiration to make chemical energy that the plant can use.

Photosynthesis is the process that converts solar energy into sugars in the form of glucose.
Cellular respiration is the process that converts sugars into a form of energy that the cell can use.

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll that absorb energy from sunlight and also give plants their green color. This energy is necessary for the chemical reaction of photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and water and produces sugar and oxygen. This is how oxygen is put into the air for all organisms to breathe.

All organisms go through cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the reverse reaction of photosynthesis. Cellular respiration uses sugars and oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxide, and energy. This process releases energy from the sugars that organisms make or consume. Producers create sugars during photosynthesis and then go through cellular respiration. Consumers must eat other organisms to go through cellular respiration. Once cellular respiration occurs, its products become the reactants for photosynthesis and they create a cycle.

Producers are organisms that produce energy from photosynthesis.
Consumers eat producers or other consumers for their energy.

Lab Overview:

This experiment tested the different nutrients needed to go through photosynthesis and involved 6 bean plants. Each plant was grown without a certain nutrient. These plants were two weeks old prior to beginning the experiment so that some growth was already present. The progress of plants in different environments was recorded over a period of two weeks and there were 2 replications of each group. The control group was kept in normal conditions and given normal amounts of water and sunlight. Group A was not given any water but received normal amounts of sunlight. Group B was kept in a dark space without sunlight but given normal amounts of water.

Pre-Lab Questions:

Before beginning any part of the experiment, you will need to write a hypothesis about what you think will happen and answer the following questions. Your hypothesis should be formatted as an "if, then" statement.

Hypothesis:
What are the controls of the experiment? (what must remain consistent in the groups)
What is the Independent variable?
What is the Dependent Variable?

Below is information about the lab, how it was conducted, and the data collected.

Lab:

Lab Materials:

6 bean plants, with the same pots, amount of soil and same amount of growth
Graduated Cylinder
Ruler
Sunny spot for the plants
Dark spot for the plants

Lab Procedure:

1. First measure and record the height of each plant and observe what it looks like. Record the color, how many leaves it has, if it looks rigid or dry, and anything else you notice. Label each plant based on its group.

2. Place each plant in its correct spot based on whether or not it will receive sunlight.

a. The control group will get full sunlight and water.

b. Group A will get full sunlight, but no water.

c. Group B will get no sunlight, but will get water.

3. Measure the height of each plant and make observations.

4. Water the control group and Group B.

Follow the instructions from Day 2 every other day. (Days 4,6,8,10,12, and 14 )

Post-Lab Questions:

Based on the procedure and data collected, draw conclusions and interpret the data to answer the following questions.

1. What happened in the Control Group throughout the experiment?

2. What happened in Group A throughout the experiment?

3. What happened in Group B throughout the experiment?

4. Why do you think that there was more growth in the Control group compared to... (Think about why it couldn't grow. This is more than just because it lost water or sunlight.)

5. What does the lack of growth have to do with photosynthesis?

6. Was your hypothesis supported? Why/Why not?

Submission:

You will submit a written or typed response with the answers to the pre-lab and post lab questions.
