=Twig Characteristics=

Part I: 1. Our group's twig is 7 years old. 2. No, growth in length has varied between years. 3. The growth has varied because of numerous conditions some of which being rainfall and the age of the tree. 4. There are two leaf scars at each node. 5. The leaf arrangement of the twig is opposite. 6. There are two nodes produced each growing season. 7. Yes, there are two nodes produced every growing season. 8. No, on average leaf scars have five bundle scars but a few have more such as six or seven, and the arrangement of them are the same because they form the same v-shape or arc. 9. Lenticels appear as dots or bumps on the twig located in the internodes. 10. Lenticels serve as a site where gases can be transferred between the atmosphere and the twig's internal tissue.

Part II: 11. The largest scales are located on the innermost part of the bud. 12. The largest scales are on the innermost part of the bud so the core of the bud is kept safe directly as well as the support from the outermost scales. 13. The scales are layered and they overlap each other for better protection. 14. No, there is no relationship.

=Data Analysis=

http://www.swivel.com/graphs/show/36082088

When should we be best prepared for a bank robbery and when do they most happen? According to the data found bank robberies are most commonly done on Friday when 22% of robberies occur. Based on this data we can conclude that bank robberies are not commonly attempted on Sundays. We can also conclude that bank robberies are most common on Fridays at the end of the work week. We can conclude these things due to the data stating that bank robberies occurred the most on Fridays and the least on Sundays because on Sundays most banks are closed and people stay at home or go to church and on Fridays banks are the busiest when people are cashing in checks and more people are out in general. Even though we can agree with the data found there are many more things to factor into this data such as the location of the robberies and many others. The data on this subject can never be precise unless all factors are accounted for which is near impossible in this situation.

1. What substances are in the vials shown? A - Yeast and water B - Molasses and water C - Yeast, molasses, and water

2. What is the blue liquid? Bromothymol blue - an indicator that reacts to acids and bases; turns yellow with acids and turns blue with a neutral or base

3. Do the vials have yeast in them? Yes, vials A and C.

4. Do the vials have molasses in them? Yes, vials B and C.

5. Why has the bromothymol blue connected to flask C turned yellow? Yeast fed on the molasses and produced CO2 which mixed with the H2O to make Carbonic Acid CO2 + H2O -> H2CO3 = Carbonic Acid

6. Why has flask C bubbled and the other flasks didn't? Flask C bubbled due to the yeast fermenting from feeding on the molasses and the yeast didn't ferment in the other flasks because there was no food for the yeast to feed on in flask A and there was no yeast to feed in flask B.

In this lab setup, there were three flasks with different substances located within them, and they were all connected to Bromothymol blue, which is an indicator that turns blue with a neutral or base and yellow with an acid. Flask A contained water and yeast, flask B contained molasses and water, and flask C contained molasses, yeast, and water. After observing the flasks the first day we saw that flask C was bubbling due to the yeast fermenting and was more active than the other two vials. When we observed the setup again the next day we saw that flask C had become an acid due to the change of color in the Bromothymol blue because when the yeast fermented it gave off CO2 which mixed with the H2O to create H2CO3, which is carbonic acid that reacted with the Bromothymol blue. In the end of the experiment, flask C was the only flask with biological activity due to the yeast feeding from the sugar in the molasses and fermenting.

=Monocots and Dicots=

 * || Monocots || Dicots ||
 * Seeds || There is a single cotyledon || There are two cotyledons ||

 * Roots || The roots send out radicle and coleoptile, and
 * Flowers || The flower parts are in multiples of three || The flower parts are in multiples of four or five ||

Woody Dicots:

Balsam fir is neither because it is an evergreen.
 * 6. Drew:** Live Oak is a dicot because it's seeds contain two cotyledons.

Catalpa - It's also a dicot because the veins on the leaves are branched, not parallel.
 * Cory:** American Elm - It is a dicot because stem vascular bundles are in a ring.

Cucumber Magnolia **-** Cucumber Magnolia is a dicot too because the seed has two cotyledons.
 * Taylor:** Sugar Maple - Sugar Maple is a dicot because it's veins are branched.

Black or Green Ash - It is a dicot because its seed has two cotyledons.
 * Lance:** Norway Spruce - Norway Spruce is neither because it is an evergreen tree.


 * 7.** We use the plants listed in many ways. Some of these ways are using carrots for food, using bamboo for food for animals like pandas, using palm sap to make palm wine, and even in general using the trees for wood for structures and such. Nearly all trees can produce a food, clothing, or other useful material in a certain way.
