AP Biology - The Flower Shop (Plant Rap)
AP Bio rap about plants set to the song "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent. Pretty much pulled all of our will power (not like there was much to begin with) to create this... especially after the AP test. NYAAHHH.
Lyrics:
Yeah... uh huh... all them plants
I'll take you to the flowershop
Let you check out the monocots
How about those eudicots?
Categories of angiosperms (woah)
I'll take you to the flower shop
See how water gets to the top
Study the plant structures
See how it keeps its moisture (woah)
[Verse]
Angiosperms, known as the flowering plaints
Ovaries makes fruits plus seeds and not infants
Confusion rising, okay explain the two classes
Eudicots are roses and monocots are grasses
I'll break it down for you now, students it's simple
They're both the same, but different like people
Floral parts come in 3 with monocot flowers
4 or 5 in eudicots give more to devour!
A tap root system eudicots got 'em
But fibrous root systems make monocots ballin'
What's the difference between cotyeldons, no problem
Eudicots got 2, monos got 1, it's awesome
Vascular bundles both have xylem and phloem
Scattered bundles makin' it look like they just roamin'
Circular bundles lookin' like a small powwow
All these differences make you go, "oh wow!"
[Chorus... again]
[Bridge]
Plants what you do (what you do)
And how you do (and how you do)
The the things you do (the things you do)
Are important for the AP test too! (Oh no!)
[Verse 2]
It's vascular tissues from evolution
Lets plants live on land as another option
The xylem carries minerals and water
Root and root hairs make it a great absorber
Then it travels by apoplast or symplast way
Must cross endodermal cells a selective path way
But taking the apoplastic way, a route that's harder
Casparian strip pushes water to the xylem harbor
Plants have a low water potential
Water travels high to low levels it's essential
Then the water properties come in and take charge
Cohesion lets them stick to the walls and not barge
The water molecules stick together by adhesion
Capillary action, none will be trialed for treason
The root pressure pushes molecules up to the top
Transpiration pulls, water evaporates makes the process nonstop
[Chorus a few more times...]

Alastair Plant_BOT 2012
Leaves share a common basic developmental program, yet the gross morphology of leaves is highly variable. In dissected leaves, number, arrangement and the direction of initiation of marginal structures is diverse among taxa, likely reflecting modifications of the temporal-spatial interplay of processes maintaining morphogenesis on the one hand, and promoting histogenesis and maturation on the other. In the basal eudicot family Papaveraceae, diverse modes of leaflet initiation and leaf architectures have evolved. We explore the role of a promoter of leaf maturation, CINCINNATA (CIN) in leaf development of Eschscholzia californica, the California poppy, using functional and gene expression studies. Eschscholzia californica CINCINNATA (EcCIN) is homologous to the Antirrhinum majus gene CINCINNATA, the Arabidopsis thaliana TCP 4, and the Solanum lycopersicum LANCEOLATE. In these core eudicots, CIN-like genes negatively regulate cell proliferation and promote a basipetally progressing wave of leaf maturation. In Solanum mutants overexpressing LANCEOLATE, precocious loss of marginal morphogenetic competence effectively eliminates leaflet initiation. To date, no other functional studies are available on the role of CIN genes in dissected leaf development. Downregulation of EcCIN by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) with constructs containing different fragments of the target gene strongly increases the number of leaflets formed in Eschscholzia leaves. Increased dissection is not uniform throughout the leaf, but concentrated in proximal parts of the leaf blade. In situ hybridization of EcCIN mRNA indicates that expression is restricted to older, maturing leaf primordia with gradual restriction to leaflets. Unlike in Antirrhinum, a floral phenotype is not observed. We propose that the role of CIN genes in antagonizing leaflet production by promoting maturation is conserved between Eschscholzia and the core eudicot Solanum, but in Eschscholzia is restricted to formation of higher order leaflets in proximal leaf parts later in morphogenesis. We also report on ongoing experiments to characterize the roleof Eschscholzia californica PHANTASTICA (EcPHAN), a MYB domain gene that in core eudicots is involvedin adaxial-abaxial polarityspecification and repression of Class I KNOX genes, and that is negatively regulated by the CIN gene TCP4 in Arabidopsis. VIGS-mediated silencing of EcPHAN using a MYB domain specific construct did not cause abnormal leaf phenotypes despite expression of EcPHAN in the adaxial domains of wild-type leaf primordia; however, induction of additional petalloid lamina flapson the adaxial surface of petals and trumpet-shaped petals were observed, suggesting a specific role of EcPHAN in petal polarity.

Silene stenophylla commonly called narrow-leafed campion is a species in the genus Silene that is found in far eastern Siberia. Individuals have been regenerated from frozen fruit dating from the Pleistocene
Scientists in Russia have grown a plant from an Ice Age squirrel burrow containing fruit and seeds that were stuck in the Siberian permafrost for more than 30,000 years and when it grew people were screaming and hysterical and many were holding back tears.
Russian scientists have grown a flower from fruit tissues found in an Ice Age squirrel's burrow in the banks of the Kolyma River in Siberia yesterday.The scientists reported their find in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the Silene stenophylla plant has been resurrected from what is the oldest plant material to have been brought to life and people held back tears.The team found around 75 squirrel burrows in the Siberian river. burrows were found at 20-40m from the present day surface and located in layers containing bones of large mammals such as mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, a bison, horse, deer, and other representatives of fauna from the age of the mammoths, as well as plant remains," they reported and were excited about it.
"The squirrels dug in the frozen ground to build their burrows, which are about the size of a soccer ball, putting in hay first and then animal fur for a perfect storage chamber," said Stanislav Gubin, one of the authors of the study, who was obviously on the verge of tears and who spent years rummaging through the area for squirrel burrows contrary to his wifes' objections. "It's a natural cryobank."The scientists say the world's permafrost — which makes up about 25 percent of the planet's surface — could be a time capsule, where ancient life is preserved, could be revived, and could speak about the evolution of life on Earth said mr joe sorenson a scientist from cambridge who was close to tears.original soundtrack by candi west

Catha edulis, commonly called Arabian tea,[1] khat,[1] qat, gat, or miraa,[1] is a flowering plant native to the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Among communities from these areas, khat chewing has a long history as a social custom dating back thousands of years.[2]
Khat contains a monoamine alkaloid called cathinone, an amphetamine-like stimulant, which is said to cause excitement, loss of appetite and euphoria. In 1980, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified it as a drug of abuse that can produce mild to moderate psychological dependence (less than tobacco or alcohol),[3] although the WHO does not consider khat to be seriously addictive.[2] The plant has been targeted by anti-drug organizations like the DEA.[4] It is a controlled or illegal substance in some countries, such as the United States, Canada and Germany, while its production, sale and consumption are legal in other nations, including Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia and Yemen

L.
The papaya (from Carib via Spanish), papaw or pawpaw is the fruit of the plant Carica papaya, in the genus Carica. It is native to the tropics of the Americas, and was first cultivated in Mexico several centuries before the emergence of the Mesoamerican classic cultures.
It is a large tree-like plant, with a single stem growing from 5 to 10 metres (16 to 33 ft) tall, with spirally arranged leaves confined to the top of the trunk. The lower trunk is conspicuously scarred where leaves and fruit were borne. The leaves are large, 50--70 centimetres (20--28 in) diameter, deeply palmately lobed with 7 lobes. The tree is usually unbranched if unlopped. The flowers are similar in shape to the flowers of the Plumeria but are much smaller and wax-like. They appear on the axils of the leaves, maturing into the large 15--45 centimetres (5.9--18 in) long, 10--30 centimetres (3.9--12 in) diameter fruit. The fruit is ripe when it feels soft (like a ripe avocado or a bit softer) and its skin has attained an amber to orange hue.

As Usual, Evolutionists Have it all Wrong
Job 42:2
I know that You can do everything, and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.
According to those who believe that all living things are a result of evolution, life evolved from simple to complex. Plants, which are simpler than animals, are believed to have evolved before animals. When we started learning about the genetic codes of living things, it was expected that plants would have simpler genetic codes than complex living things. This is turning out not to be the case.
Almost 300 researchers completed their work in 1999 to learn the exact DNA sequence of two of the five chromosomes of the wild mustard plant. They learned that chromosomes #2 and #4 of the plant have almost 8,000 genes. By contrast, human chromosome #22 has only 550 genes. To be sure, humans are more complex than the wild mustard plant. But, researchers say, the wild mustard is definitely more complex than animals such as worms and flies! Scientists point out that the reason for the unexpected complexity is that while worms and flies can only adapt to limited environmental conditions and remain worms and flies, the mustard plant can adapt to a great range of conditions and produce very different types of plants.
These findings strike two blows to evolution. Plants can be genetically more complex than some so-called "highly-evolved" animals. Second, this genetic complexity is wisely designed to give plants greater adaptability in a wide range of conditions. Our Creator designed the DNA code with purpose; He certainly did not let it develop by chance.
Prayer: Lord, I thank You because all of your loving purposes are fulfilled. Amen.

The fruit is ripe when it feels soft (like a ripe avocado or a bit softer) and its skin has attained an amber to orange hue.
It is the first fruit tree to have its genome deciphered.[1]
n North America the term pawpaw may also refer to the fruit of trees in the unrelated North American genus Asimina. However, pawpaw and papaw are common synonyms of papaya both in North America and elsewhere.[2][3]
Originally from southern Mexico, particularly Chiapas and Veracruz, Central America and northern South America, the papaya is now cultivated in most tropical countries, such as Brazil, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Jamaica. In cultivation, it grows rapidly, fruiting within 3 years. It is, however, highly frost sensitive.
The papaya fruit is susceptible to the papaya fruit fly. This wasp-like fly lays its eggs in young fruit.
In the 1990s, two varieties of papaya, SunUp and Rainbow, that had been genetically modified to be resistant to the papaya ring spot virus, were introduced into Hawaii.[4] By 2004, non-genetically modified and organic papayas throughout Hawaii had experienced hybridization with the genetically modified varieties.[5]
Papaya has many uses, including as food, as cooking aid, in medicine. The stem and the bark are also used in rope production.
[edit]Gastronomy
The ripe fruit is usually eaten raw, without skin or seeds. The unripe green fruit of papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads and stews. It has a relatively high amount of pectin, which can be used to make jellies.

lyrics:
this for the ladies at whole foods
eating tofu and I told you
I'm addicted to them granola types when I roll through
I be that cat at the hot food bar on a wednesday
or snacking on pita chips and senbei
rice crackers, I'm a nice cracker
I could take you home for passion, indulge in vice after
dark chocolate in the sheets, organic, fair trade
I know your hair is saved
for dr. bronner
and I'll be honest I want to be on ya
cause I'm really fond of
ladies who take care of their bodies and the environment
but organic food I'm not really buying it
cause I can't afford it but we could split dinner for two
let me get into you
and if you in the mood for sappy
acting I could play the CEO just call me john mackey
this is the ladies at whole foods
her yoga pants are oh so stylish
and the prius she drives gets very good mileage
I'm not a vegetarian
I eat meat and if I meet a beat I bury it
that's beats like boombap and beats like eudicots
I live a fast paced life and don't eat slow food a lot
but I'm ready to cross the rubicon
used to eat bad, but I'm ready for moving on
so take your receipt total, divide by two
we can cook together if that's fine by you
and tomorrow when we wake up
I won't be making bacon and I won't cook a steak up
I'm going to shake up the routine and whip a shake up
soymilk, bananas, strawberries and we could make love
because that dark chocolate last night
was an aphrodesiac, and it has a half life
of a day so there's still half remaining
I know you've got work so no need to delay it

Impatiens flowers blooming in the british Raj-era town - Landour
Landour a small cantonment town contiguous with Mussoorie, is about 35 km (22 mi) from the city of Dehradun in the northern state of Uttarakhand in India. The twin towns of Mussoorie and Landour, together, are a well-known British Raj-era hill station in northern India. Mussoorie-Landour was widely known as the "Queen of the Hills". The name Landour is drawn from Llanddowror, a village in Carmarthenshire in southwest Wales. During the Raj, it was common to give nostalgic English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish names to one's home (or even to British-founded towns), reflecting one's ethnicity. Names drawn from literary works were also common, as from those by Robert Burns, Walter Scott, Thomas Hardy, Robert Louis Stevenson and many others.
Impatiens is a genus of about 850--1,000 species of flowering plants, widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere and tropics. Together with Hydrocera triflora, impatiens makes up the family Balsaminaceae. Common names include impatiens, jewelweeds, touch-me-nots, "Busy Lizzie", balsams and "jewelweed". These plants derive their scientific name Impatiens (Latin for "impatient") and the common name "touch-me-not" in reference to their seed capsules. When the capsules mature, they "explode" when touched, sending seeds several meters away. This mechanism is also known as "explosive dehiscence"; see also Rapid plant movement. Some species are annual plants and produce flowers from early summer until the first frost, while perennial species, found in milder climates, can flower all year. Regardless of their lifespan, the largest impatiens grows up to about 2 meters (c. 7 ft) tall, but most are less than half as tall. The leaves are entire and shiny; their upper side has a thick, water-repellent cuticula that gives them a greasy feel. Particularly on the underside of the leaves, tiny air bubbles are trapped over and under the leaf surface, giving them a silvery sheen that becomes pronounced when held under water.
The flowers, up to 2--3 cm, around 1 inch long, in most species are made up by a shoe- or horn-shaped spur for the most part, with at least the upper petals insignificant by comparison; some have a prominent labellum though, allowing pollinators to land. Others, like the Busy Lizzie (I. walleriana), have flattened flowers with large petals and just a tiny spur that appear somewhat similar to violets (Viola), though these are unrelated eudicots. A few Impatiens species have flowers quite intermediate between those two basic types. Balsams grow both in and out of direct sunlight; they prefer moist, rich soils, like roadside ditches, reed beds, fens, river banks and forest edges, and many are well able to colonize disturbed ruderal locations. Impatiens foliage is used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species (e.g. Dot Moth, Melanchra persicariae), as well as other insects, such as the Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica). The leaves are toxic to many other animals, including the Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus), but this popular pet will eat balsam flowers eagerly and as it seems it is not harmed by them. The flowers are visited by bumblebees and certain Lepidoptera, such as the Common Spotted Flat (Celaenorrhinus leucocera)

Balsams grow both in and out of direct sunlight; they prefer moist, rich soils, like roadside ditches, reed beds, fens, river banks and forest edges, and many are well able to colonize disturbed ruderal locations. Impatiens foliage is used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species (e.g. Dot Moth, Melanchra persicariae), as well as other insects, such as the Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica). The leaves are toxic to many other animals, including the Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus), but this popular pet will eat balsam flowers eagerly and as it seems it is not harmed by them. The flowers are visited by bumblebees and certain Lepidoptera, such as the Common Spotted Flat (Celaenorrhinus leucocera)

Impatiens flowers near Chukkar road Mussoorie
Impatiens is a genus of about 850--1,000 species of flowering plants, widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere and tropics. Together with Hydrocera triflora, impatiens makes up the family Balsaminaceae. Common names include impatiens, jewelweeds, touch-me-nots, "Busy Lizzie", balsams and "jewelweed". These plants derive their scientific name Impatiens (Latin for "impatient") and the common name "touch-me-not" in reference to their seed capsules. When the capsules mature, they "explode" when touched, sending seeds several meters away. This mechanism is also known as "explosive dehiscence"; see also Rapid plant movement. Some species are annual plants and produce flowers from early summer until the first frost, while perennial species, found in milder climates, can flower all year. Regardless of their lifespan, the largest impatiens grows up to about 2 meters (c. 7 ft) tall, but most are less than half as tall. The leaves are entire and shiny; their upper side has a thick, water-repellent cuticula that gives them a greasy feel. Particularly on the underside of the leaves, tiny air bubbles are trapped over and under the leaf surface, giving them a silvery sheen that becomes pronounced when held under water.
The flowers, up to 2--3 cm, around 1 inch long, in most species are made up by a shoe- or horn-shaped spur for the most part, with at least the upper petals insignificant by comparison; some have a prominent labellum though, allowing pollinators to land. Others, like the Busy Lizzie (I. walleriana), have flattened flowers with large petals and just a tiny spur that appear somewhat similar to violets (Viola), though these are unrelated eudicots.
