=Characteristics of a Woody Steam=

1. This twig is 5 years old. 2. No, the growth is not at the same rate each year. 3. The reason for that would be because one year the twig would have got more nutrients than the other years. 4. There is 4 leaf scares in one of the nobes on this twig. 5. The leaf arrengment is opposite. 6. There is 4-6 nodes in each growing season. 7. No, the number of nodes produced in each growing season isn't the same. 8. Yes, there is the same number of bundle scars. The arrangment is also the same. 9. No, there is not a certain form of lenticels. They are mostly between leaf scars. 10. The functions of the Lenticels is that they are a source of gas exchange. They serve as pores for the twig. 11. Towards the top of the bud. 12. They were the first buds to grow. 13. They are arranged in a circular pattern. 14. Yes they are both have a alternate relationship.



=Data and Analasist=

The data that we choose to study was "Teen Pregnancy is higher in States were the Religion is very important". This data is important because it is showing people what the pregnancy rate is in states were religion is more important.http://www.swivel.com/graphs/show/36381633 (is were the table is located.) The conclusion that we have made is that 50-60% of states where religion is important has a higher pregnancy rate then states where religion isn't as important. The second conclusion that we made from the data is 60% of states were religion is important has pregencies there 12% were younger then 20. A few of questions that came up during this assesment is, Where is this taking place, how many people represent the dots, what religion are they studying, and why does the pregnancy data getting smaller when the religion gets more important.

=Chromatography of a Well Known Subtance=



Red Skittle: Rf value- .08 Color after the experiment of the red skittle is red.

Orange Skittle: Rf value- .18 Color after the experiment of the orange skittle is orange.

Yellow Skittle: Rf value- .31 Color after the experiment of the yellow skittle is yellow.

Purple Skittle: Rf value- .13 Color after the experiment of the purple skittle is purple.

Green Skittle: Rf value- .29 Color after the experiment of the green skittle is green.

=Characteristics of Life=



Questons: 1. What is in all three of these containeers? A and B have yeast and some has molasesis.

2. Which substances have molasis in it? 3. Why is yeast in some of the substances? A and B

4. Is there yeast in the containeer with the yellow subtance? No

5. What is Bromothymol blue? And what is the purpose of the liquid? Bromothymol blue is an indicator. It tells if a substance is a base or an acid.

6. Is the Bromothymol blue going into the other containeers?

7. Is the yeast making the substances rise?





What happened in countaineer C is the yeast is feeding off of the sugars in molasses which is called fermentation. With the yeast eating the sugar, CO2 is produced which causes the the Bromothymol blue to turn yellow which indicates that it is an acid. This is not happening is countaineer A because the only thing that is in the countaineer is water and yeast. Fermentation can not happen. Lastly this is not happening in countaineer B because the only thing in that countaineer is molasses and water. There is no yeast.

=Monocots and Dicots=



Epidermis

Dicot

Cornsteam

4. Herbaceous plant __monocot__
 * 1) duckweed
 * 2) rice
 * 3) wheat

__dicot__
 * 1) red oak
 * 2) white pine
 * 3) white oak

5. Woody plants __monocots__
 * 1) lilies
 * 2) palm tree
 * 3) onions

__dicots__
 * 1) paperbark birch
 * 2) bitter cherry
 * 3) red alder

6. Renee's trees: Redbud is monocot. Because the leaves veins are parallel. Red Oak is dicot. Because the veins are not parallel.

Afton's trees: Witch Hazel is dicot. Veins are net shaped. Box Elder is monocot. Has three leafs.

Alexis trees: Honey Locust is dicot. Because it has a shallow, taproot system. Silver Maple is also dicot. Because of it's net veined leaves.

7. Red Oak, White Pine, and White Oak is used for timber. We eat onions, rice, and use the wheat for goods. We use palm trees for shade. The lilies you can eat the bulbs. Red alder we use it as a dye. Bitter cherry is used for lumber. Paper bark birch can be used for crafts.
