Title:
Peace, Love and Flower Power

Description:
Lab Two: Flower Our video depicts that all organisms are aqueous, and that flowers have special ways to prevent water loss or evapotranspiration. Some of the ways that plants prevent water loss is through thorns and hair on leaves to create shade; others have created a thick cuticle or a waxy layer to prevent water from entering or exiting the leaf. During the winter many plants appear to die off, however, for some plants this is untrue. Annuals are plants that return year after year and the way they accomplish this is through the use of bulbs. The bulbs store water and nutrients during the cold winter months while the ground is frozen as well as the water molecules in the soil. Seeds are also another way plants survive the winter. The seeds lie dormant during the winter and wait for the ground to thaw to start gathering the nutrients needed to grow. These are just a few ways that plants prevent evapotranspiration, and these are the ones that we cover in our video; however there are other ways too. The use of stomata, for example, allows gas to escape but they also help prevent water from escaping by having the guard cells close when not in use.
