BBC - Schools - KS3 Bitesize - Science - Biology - Cell Processes 2 Animal and plant cells differ in that most plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall and have a vacuole filled with watery sap. Plant cell walls are made of three layers - inner, middle and outer walls. Compare the structure of a typical plant cell and animal cell. www.bbc.co.uk /schools/ks3bitesize/science/biology/lifecells2_3.shtml   (153 words)

Vascular plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The vascular plants are those plants that have specialized cells for conducting water and sap within their tissues, including the ferns, clubmosses, horsetails, flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, but not mosses, algae, and the like ( nonvascular plants). Capillary action and transpiration work to allow xylem carry water and sap upward toward the leaves from the roots, while the phloem tissue carries organic nutrients throughout the plant. Vascular plants have water-carrying tissues, termed tracheids, in their tissues, enabling the plants to evolve larger and more elaborate structures, while non-vascular plants lack these and are restricted to relatively small sizes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vascular_plant   (468 words)

Cell sap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cell sap is a dilute fluid that is found in the large central vacuole of many plant cells. The sap has many functions, such as storage of useful materials, and provides mechanical support for non-woody plants; it also helps plant-cells in the process of osmosis.

How do non woody plants stay upright? If however, plant cells are surrounded by a solution with a stronger solute concentration than the cell sap, then the vacuole loses water and as a result there is no hydrostatic pressure acting against the cell wall, such cells are said to be flaccid or plasmolysed. If plant cells are placed in a solution which has a weaker solute concentration than the cell sap, then water enters the cell vacuole by osmosis. This same arrangement can also sometimes be seen in the stems of aquatic plants which are subjected to different forces than the stems of their terrestrial relations. www.microscopy-uk.org.uk /mag/artoct99/plantupright.html   (881 words)

Dracaena fragrans ‘Malaika’s’ The name originates from the red sap that some Dracaena, such as Dracaena cinnabari have because it was once believed that this sap was the blood of dragons. Over recent decades, Dracaena have become more and more popular as houseplants, and over this period many varieties have been discovered in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia and many of these have since been cultivated. In the growing period it is advisable to add plant food once a fortnight. www.flowercouncil.org /uk/news/fpnews/Productnieuws2002/Plant_June02.asp   (336 words)

Pruning for Shade, Flowers and Fruit For reducing the size of a plant, a simple technique that works on everything is to cut the longest branches back to a shorter side branch, preferably a side branch growing in about the same direction. For plants that flower on the sides of the one year old branches, such as forsythia, nectarines and peaches, remove a few older branches instead of many new branches. The most important time to prune a plant is at the time of planting. www.rodsgarden.50megs.com /pruneshade.htm   (336 words)

Re: Why are rubber plant and money plant so named? Rubber plant (Ficus elastica) exudes a milky sap or latex when the leaves or stems are cut, hence the name.

eNature: FieldGuides: Species Detail Description A showy plant with branched stems, each topped by 1 large purple flower head; stem swollen and hollow just below head, with milky sap. When a stalk bearing a bud is picked, milky sap oozes over the hollow cut end and, to the delight of children, forms a bubble that quickly changes from white to tan when the swollen part of the stalk is gently squeezed.

In The India—rubber Camps It takes from 15 to 20 years after the planting before the trees will produce enough sap to pay for gathering it, but the cost of cultivation is small, and once in bearing the trees will continue to produce sap for many years. Rubber trees can be grown; already there are plans devised for rubber plantations, to be owned by large companies, and to be planted and cared for as long-time investments. In this, however, you are largely mistaken, for the rubber plant, with its thick, glossy green leaves, which you have seen, is that which produces gutta percha. www.oldandsold.com /articles29/south-america-58.shtml   (359 words)

Introduction to Plant Viruses The indicator plant for sweetpotato viruses is Brazilian Morning glory, tabacco, tomato, lambsquarter, and other plants are used as indicators in the sap and grafting assays. Plant viruses usually multiply only within living plant cells, but some may be able to multiply within the bodies of aphids and nematodes.

Sap Beetles (of Florida), Nitidulidae (Insecta: Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) Sap beetles are often considered minor pests but the presence of large numbers of sap beetles on a host plant can prove economic in terms of crop damage caused by the feeding beetles, but impact on crop value is primarily due to the contamination of products ready for sale by adults and larvae. Sap beetles have demonstrated a wide range of feeding habits with the majority of the group being primarily saprophagous and mycetophagous (Parsons 1943). Sap beetles are considered minor pests of field and sweet corn and strawberries in Florida. edis.ifas.ufl.edu /BODY_IN525   (3067 words)

Lords Environmental - Pest - [S] Most sap beetles are found where plant fluids are fermenting or souring as they are attracted to the odors of such things as ripe fruit, prepared food, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages and fresh paint. In table corn, sap beetles are particularly noticeable on ears where there has been bird damage or where corn borers or corn earworms have been feeding. Sap beetles bore into fruits about picking time, and are especially attracted to overripe fruits. www.lordsenviro.com /pests/s.html   (7658 words)

Compass Plant The compass plant has a white sap that was chewed as a gum once it had solidified. The long-lived root of a mature plant may reach a depth of 15 feet, assisting in the soil building process by breaking up the clay subsoil and increasing its chances of survival during drought periods by tapping into subsoil moisture. Ecological Notes: The compass plant is a classic prairie plant, quick to establish itself in the prairie community. www.taylor.edu /academics/acadDepts/ees/prairie/compass_photo.htm   (7658 words)
