In order to accomplish this the roots must grow into new regions of the soil. The growth and metabolism of the plant root system is supported by the process of photosynthesis occurring in the leaves Two major types of roots systems ◦ Taproots ◦ Fibrous Environmental Biology for Engineers Roots Environmental Biology for Engineers _____________________ Characterized by one main root Smaller branches emerge from the main root When a seed germinates, the first root to emerge is the radicle, or primary root For conifers and dicots, this radicle develops into the taproot Taproots can be modified for use in storage of carbohydrates (carrots, beets) Taproots are important adaptations for search for water (poison ivy) Environmental Biology for Engineers ________________ Environmental Biology for Engineers Characterized by having a mass of similarly sized root, referred to as adventitious roots Fibrous roots systems are excellent for erosion control Root structure Root cap Zone of division Zone of elongation Zone of maturation zone of cell differentiation zone of cell elongation zone of cell division root cap Environmental Biology for Engineers Root structure Root cap ◦ Cup shape group of cells at the tip of the root that protects delicate cells behind the cap ◦ Secretes mucigel, a lubricant that aids in movement ◦ Also plays a role in the plant’s response to gravity If a flower pot is placed on it’s side, the stem would grow upward toward the light, and the root cap would direct the roots to grow downward Zone of division Zone of elongation Zone of maturation Environmental Biology for Engineers Root structure Root cap Zone of division ◦ Contains growing and diving meristematic cells ◦ After each division, one daughter cell retains the properties of the meristems cell ◦ The other daughter cell moves into the zone of cell elogation Environmental Biology for Engineers Zone of elongation Zone of maturation Root structure Root cap Zone of division Zone of elongation ◦ The daughter cell from the zone of cell division elongates, sometimes as much as 150 x ◦ This pushes the root tip through the soil Environmental Biology for Engineers Zone of maturation Definition Meristem ◦ Undifferentiated cells Apical meristems ◦ Found in zones of growth Root tip Buds ◦ Differentiation Protoderm – near the outside of the stem, develops into the epidermis.

Oxidation-Reduction: What is it? Rusting of metal Process of photography A car battery Way living systems produce and utilize energy e- Environmental Biology for Engineers All involve electron-transfer Oxidation Term derived from the observation that almost all elements react with oxygen The product is a compound referred to as an oxide Consider as an example the corrosion or rusting of iron ? Environmental Biology for Engineers Reduction Term originally used to describe the removal of oxygen from metal ores “Reduced” the metal ore to pure metal ? Environmental Biology for Engineers Atoms Recall the following ◦ Atoms have charged subatomic particles ◦ Atoms are electrically neutral ◦ The oxidation state or oxidation number is the sum of the negative and positive charges in an atom ◦ Since every atom contains an equal number of positive and negative charges, the oxidation state or oxidation number of any atom is always zero ◦ This serves as an important reference point Environmental Biology for Engineers The Basic Model The loss of an electron produces a positive oxidation state The gain of an electron results in a negative oxidation state The changes that occur in the oxidation state can be predicted quickly and accurately by guidelines of the representative elements (the vertical columns to the left and right of the periodic table) Representative Elements Transition Metals Environmental Biology for Engineers The Basic Model The representative elements can be divided into two classes – metals and nonmetals Metal lose electrons ◦ With the exception of hydrogen, these are to the left of metalloid Nonmetals gain electrons Metalloids have properties similar to both ◦ Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antinomy, Tellurium, Astatine Environmental Biology for Engineers nonmetals metalloids metals Oxidation state of metals Metals lose electrons, forming positively charge ions, called cations Group number ◦ Same as the number of electrons lost ◦ Same as the charge of the cation formed ◦ Same as the number of electrons found in the outermost shell of the atom (called valence electrons) ◦ Calcium is used below t show the convention for writing oxidation reactions 2 Ca Ca 2e Symbol of the atom Environmental Biology for Engineers Symbol of the cation Number of electrons lost Electron Configuration Table H 1 He 1s LI 1s 1 Be 2 B 1 C 2 N 3 2s 1 Mg 2 K 1 Al 1 Si 2 P 3 Zn 10 Ga 1 Ge 2 As 3 3s Ca Sr. Sc 1 Ti 2 V 3 Cr 4 Mn 5 1 Ba 2 Y 1 Zr 2 Nb 3 Mo 4 Tc 1 Ra 7s 6 Co 7 Ni 8 Cu 9 F 5 Ne 6 S 4 Cl 5 Ar 6 Se 4 Br 5 Kr 6 5 Ru 4 I 5 Xe 6 4 At 5 Rn 6 4p 6 Rh 7 Pd 8 Ag 9 Cd 10 In 1 Sn 2 Sb 3 4d 2 La 1 Hf 2 Ta 3 W 4 Ra 6s Fr Fe 3d 5s Cs 4 3p 2 4s 1 O 2p Na Rb 2 5 Os 5p 6 Ir 7 Pt 8 Au 9 Hg 10 Tl 1 5d 2 Ac 1 Rf 2 Ha 3 Ce 1 Te Pb 2 Bi 3 Po 6p 6d Pr 2 Nd 3 Pm 4 Sm 5 Eu 6 Gd 7 Tb 8 Dy 9 Ho 10 Er 11 Tm 12 Yb 13 Lu 14 8 Cf 9 Es 10 Fm 11 Md 12 No 13 Lr 14 4f Th 1 Pa 2 U 3 Np 4 Pu 5 Am 6 Cm 7 Bk 5f Environmental Biology for Engineers Energy 3s 3d 3p 4s nonmetals 4p metalloids metals 2p 2s 1s H 1 He 1s LI 1s 1 Be 2 B 1 C 2 N 3 2s 1 Mg 2 K 1 Al 1 Si 2 P 3 Zn 10 Ga 1 Ge 2 As 3 3s Ca Sr. Sc 1 Ti 2 V 3 Cr 4 Mn 5 1 Ba 2 Y 1 Zr 2 Nb 3 Mo 4 Tc 1 Ra 7s 6 Co 7 Ni 8 Cu 9 F 5 Ne 6 S 4 Cl 5 Ar 6 Se 4 Br 5 Kr 6 5 Ru 4 I 5 Xe 6 4 At 5 Rn 6 4p 6 Rh 7 Pd 8 Ag 9 Cd 10 In 1 Sn 2 Sb 3 4d 2 La 1 Hf 2 Ta 3 W 4 Ra 6s Fr Fe 3d 5s Cs 4 3p 2 4s 1 O 2p Na Rb 2 5 Os 5p 6 Ir 7 Pt 8 Au 9 Hg 10 Tl 1 5d 2 Ac 1 Rf 2 Ha 3 Ce 1 Te Pb 2 Bi 3 Po 6p 6d Pr 2 Nd 3 Pm 4 Sm 5 Eu 6 Gd 7 Tb 8 Dy 9 Ho 10 Er 11 Tm 12 Yb 13 Lu 14 8 Cf 9 Es 10 Fm 11 Md 12 No 13 Lr 14 4f Th 1 Pa 2 U 3 Np 4 Pu 5 Am 6 Cm 7 Bk 5f Environmental Biology for Engineers Quick Quiz on Concepts Write the oxidation half-reactions for the following, indicating the charge of the ion formed and the number of electrons lost.

The green plant, known as duckweed or lemna, covers about 12 percent of Lake Maracaibo's 13,500-square kilometer (5,400square mile) surface, said Ana Elisa Osorio. The lake in western Venezuela is one of South America's largest bodies of water and is an important oil-producing region....

National Institutes of Health NIH supports research on duckweeds as a model system to understand gene regulation, biosynthesis of essential nutrients, photobiology, and more. National Science Foundation NSF sponsors fundamental research in areas of biology not supported by NIH. USDA Research with Duckweeds USDA employs duckweeds as model systems for basic plant research and in studies of alternative treatment systems for animal waste. US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) EPA reports that duckweeds are very promising for their potential to detoxify pesticide residues in the environment.
