SCRIBE!

Hey guys! It's Tessa N heree. So today in class we found out that FRIDAY is Mrs. Steins last day! :'( but... we are gonna have a baby showerr party! So don't forgett to bring food... Haha anyways we started off by going over the plant of the day, the string of pearls, also known as senecio rowleyan. Then we continued to review transportation, roots, and monocots vs. dicots. Transportation is the process by which water moves up a plant and out of a leaf. We learned the structure of roots, such as the cortex, stores food. Monocots and dicots both have vascular bundles, however the way they are arranged is different. Monocots have parallel leaves, 1 cotyledon, multiples of three flowers, and have fibrous, multiple roots. Dicots have branched leaves, 2 cotyledon, multiples of four or five flowers, and have a taproot, or a big main root. We then ended class by working on our flower labs for the last 15 minutes.
