Auxin - Plant Hormone
... of auxin to ARF1 (Auxin response factor 1) can also affect the gene transcription process; this overall affects the gene expression in the plant (Kimball). In respect to phototropism and gravitropism, the hormone auxin is responsible for the bending of stems and roots of a plant in response ...
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
... Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration part one, Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is when plants use the sun to create usable forms of energy. First I will explain the light reaction which takes place in the chloroplast. When light is absorbed by the chlorophyl, an electron ...
How light intensity effects the rate of photosynthesis.
... air and water from the soil and uses the light from sunlight to turn them into food. Photosynthesis occurs only in the presence of light, and takes place in the chloroplasts of green plant cells. Photosynthesis can be defined as the production of simple sugars (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water ...

... form of diabetes. Before it eventually kills those who suffer from it, type 1 diabetes takes a serious toll on the body. Among other things, it can lead to blindness, kidney failure, amputation, and stroke. Supporting Point 3: Stem ...
Botany Lab Report on Cellular Respiration.
... of the sugar glucose. To measure the rate of cellular respiration, you need to monitor the activity of enzymes in the system that are involved with the Krebs cycle. In one step, succinate is converted to fumarate. During this step, electrons ...
Stem Cell Research-What are stem cells and why should we continue studying them?
... and had a relatively high risk of dying and had no other forms of therapy available because their heart failure was so severe. Doctors injected the patients' hearts with stem cells obtained from their own bone marrow. Each patient received an average of ...
