What is the difference of phytoplakton and plakton?

"Phytoplankton" refers specifically to microscopic plant-like organisms that live in aquatic environments and photosynthesize to produce energy. "Plankton" is a general term that encompasses a wider range of organisms, including phytoplankton, zooplankton (animal-like organisms), and bacterioplankton (bacterial organisms). Phytoplankton are a subset of plankton.

Where does the plant get water from?

When it either rains or when the plant is watered, the microscopic hairs on the roots and the leaves absorb the water. The water then acts a food for the plant to help it grow, make flowers and finally produce a fruit. But don't be deceived, not all fruits are edible!

What are microscopic leaf pores?

Microscopic leaf pores are called stomata. These tiny openings are typically found on the surface of plant leaves and allow for gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen and water vapor. Stomata are crucial for regulating a plant's internal water balance and nutrient uptake.


What are tiny microscopic water animals called?

Tiny microscopic water animals are called plankton. They play a key role in aquatic food chains and come in various forms, including phytoplankton (plant-like) and zooplankton (animal-like).


What effect does heat have on an experimental plant?

In general, heat waves do not have any effect on the biomass of a plant in an experiment. The heated water or water from a microwave also does not affect the plant.


Do vascular plants have roots with microscopic hairs?

Yes, vascular plants typically have roots that feature microscopic hair-like structures called root hairs. These root hairs increase the surface area of the roots, enhancing the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. They play a crucial role in plant nutrition and overall health, helping support the vascular system that transports water and nutrients throughout the plant.


What is the opening on the underside of the leaf?

The opening on the underside of the leaf is called a stomata. Stomata are small pores that allow for gas exchange, enabling the plant to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and release oxygen and water vapor. They can open and close to regulate the flow of gases and water vapor.


Why should a small plant not be planted near big trees?

The large trees steel the water, so the small plant suffocates.
