PLANT PROPAGATION Plant propagation is the process of creating new plants. There are two types of propagation: sexual and asexual. Sexual reproduction is the union of the pollen and egg, drawing from the genes of two parents to create a new, third individual. Sexual propagation involves the floral parts of a plant. Asexual propagation involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. The resulting new plant is genetically identical to its parent. Asexual propagation involves the vegetative parts of a plant: stems, roots, or leaves. (Sorensen, 2019) ANGIOSPERMS: MONOCOTYLEDON & DICOTYLEDON The angiosperms or flowering plants are divided into two groups: monocots and dicots. Monocots have one seed leaf while dicots have two. Monocots have leaves with parallel veins while netted veins for dicots. SEED BEARING PLANTS ANGIOSPERMS & GYMNOSPERMS Seed-bearing plants could be angiosperm or flowering or gymnosperm which are non-flowering plants. The angiosperms are plants that have flowers and produce seeds enclosed within a carpel. The angiosperms are a large group and include herbaceous plants, shrubs, grasses, and most trees. Their seeds may contain one seed leaf or monocotyledon and when there are two they are dicotyledons. The gymnosperms on the other hand are seed-producing plants known as "naked seeds" like cycads, conifers, and pines. The learning materials provided below will give you comprehensive information on the difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms. SEED BEARING PLANTS The other classification of plants is what we call seed-bearing plants or vascular plants. These plants reproduce through their seeds. Most fruits and vegetables that you love to eat are seed-bearing plants. Looking at the diagram below, seed-bearing plants could be gymnosperms or non-flowering plants and angiosperms or flowering plants. The angiosperms are classified too according to the number of seed leaves: monocotyledon and dicotyledon.
A. The continental plate remains above, while the oceanic plate subducts. The older and denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the younger plate. A subduction is the process by which an oceanic plate slide under a less dense plate, can be a continental or another oceanic plate. In this process, the plates involved are oceanic plate and continental plate. Oceanic Plate is thinner plate, Dense,generally, slides under into the mantle; and especially when it is older than the other oceanic plate. They may slide over given that it is the younger oceanic plate in the oceanic-oceanic subduction. In case of oceanic-continental subduction, even younger oceanic plate can never slide over it. Continental Plate is thicker plate, less dense and slides over and experiences compression and volcanic activity. Another concept is about buoyancy. Consider the Earthâs mantle as a giant swimming pool. Floating on top of it are the Earth's tectonic platesâsome thin and dense, like the oceanic crust, and others thick and less dense, like the continental crust. Imagine the thin oceanic plate and the thick continental crusts are like tennis ball and soccer ball, respectively. When placed in water, the tennis ball sinks at the bottom and easily subducted as it is smaller and denser. Contrary, the soccer ball is larger and more buoyant, thus, resists subduction and tends to stay afloat. Therefore, during subduction, the thin and dense oceanic crust or an older oceanic crust slide under another plate due to its low buoyancy. Consequently, the thick and denser continental plate or younger oceanic plate slides over because of its high buoyancy. In the subduction zone, there are two landforms that are formed in the process, namely, trench and volcanic arcs. Trenches are deep valleys formed at the edges of the colliding plates, where an oceanic plate bends downward and starts to subduct another plate. It looks like a long, narrow depression where marks the zone where subduction begins. The other landform is the volcanic arc, a chain of volcanoes that formed on the overriding plates where water and sediments from the sinking slab cause the mantle wedge above it to melt, making the magma rise to the surface and forming the volcanoes. a. The formation of trench When these two plates collide, the oceanic plate is subducted and pulled into the mantle. The edges of the plates create a deep valley which we call trench. b. Formation of volcanic arcs When a denser oceanic plate collides with a less dense continental plate, oceanic plate is subducted and pulled into the mantle. As it reaches the mantle, the plate is subjected to extremely high pressure and temperature. This causes the trapped water and air in the plate to be released. The plate eventually melted back as magma. The formed magma rises to the surface. This gives rise to the formation of volcanic arcs. The same is true between the collision of two oceanic crusts as the older crust is subducted over the younger crust. However, the collision of two continental crusts will not result in the formation of trenches.
All living things are made up of one or more cells. A cell is the smallest unit that can carry on all of the processes of life. Beginning in the 17th century, curious naturalists were able to use microscopes to study objects too small to be seen with the unaided eye. Their studies led them to propose the cellular basis of life. Hooke In 1665, English scientist Robert Hooke studied nature by using an early light microscope, such as the one in Figure 4-1a. A light micro- scope is an instrument that uses optical lenses to magnify objects by bending light rays. Hooke looked at a thin slice of cork from the bark of a cork oak tree. âI could exceedingly plainly perceive it to be all perforated and porous,â Hooke wrote. He described âa great many little boxesâ that reminded him of the cubicles or âcellsâ where monks live. When Hooke focused his microscope on the cells of tree stems, roots, and ferns, he found that each had similar little boxes. The drawings that Hooke made of the cells he saw are shown in Figure 4-1b. The âlittle boxesâ that Hooke observed were the remains of dead plant cells, such as the cork cells shown in Figure 4-1c. SECTION 1 OBJECTIVES â Name the scientists who first observed living and nonliving cells. â Summarize the research that led to the development of the cell theory. â State the three principles of the cell theory. â Explain why the cell is considered to be the basic unit of life. VOCABULARY cell cell theory Robert Hooke used an early microscope (a) to see cells in thin slices of cork. His drawings of what he saw (b) indicate that he had clearly observed the remains of cork cells (300) (c). FIGURE 4-1 (a) (b) (c) Copyright Š by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.

Leeuwenhoek made microscopes that were simple and tiny, but he ground lenses so precisely that the magnification was 10 times that of Hookeâs instruments. In 1673, Leeuwenhoek, shown in Figure 4-2a, was able to observe a previ- ously unseen world of microorganisms. He observed cells with green stripes from an alga of the genus Spirogyra, as shown in Figure 4-2b, and bell-shaped cells on stalks of a protist of the genus Vorticella, as shown in Figure 4-2c. Leeuwenhoek called these organisms animalcules. We now call them protists. THE CELL THEORY Although Hooke and Leeuwenhoek were the first to report observ- ing cells, the importance of this observation was not realized until about 150 years later. At this time, biologists began to organize information about cells into a unified understanding. In 1838, the German botanist Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants were composed of cells. The next year, the German zoologist Theodor Schwann concluded the same thing for animals. And finally, in his study of human diseases, the German physician Rudolf Virchow (1821â1902) noted that all cells come from other cells. These three observations were combined to form a basic theory about the cel- lular nature of life. The cell theory has three essential parts, which are summarized in Table 4-1. Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632â1723) is shown here with one of his hand-held lenses (a). Leeuwenhoek observed an alga of the genus Spirogyra (b) and a protist of the genus Vorticella (c). FIGURE 4-2 TABLE 4-1 The Cell Theory All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism. Cells come only from the reproduction of existing cells. (a) (b) (c) www.scilinks.org Topic: Cell Theory Keyword: HM60241 mb06se_csfs01.qxd 5/18/07 10:54 AM Page 70
Make a quiz using this information: Professional Learning Communities Despite compelling evidence indicating that working collaboratively represents best practice, teachers in many schools continue to work in isolation. Even in schools that endorse the idea of collaboration, the staff's willingness to collaborate often stops at the classroom door. Educators must stop working in isolation and hoarding their ideas, materials, and strategies and begin to work together to meet the needs of all students. Educators who are building a professional learning community recognize that they must work together to achieve their collective purpose of learning for all. Therefore, they create structures to promote a collaborative culture. The powerful collaboration that characterizes professional learning communities is a systematic process in which teachers work together to analyze and improve their classroom practice. Teachers work in teams, engaging in an ongoing cycle of questions that promote deep team learning. This process, in turn, leads to higher levels of student achievement. Collaborative conversations call on team members to make public what has traditionally been privateâgoals, strategies, materials, pacing, questions, concerns, and results. These discussions give every teacher someone to turn to and talk to, and they are explicitly structured to improve the classroom practice of teachersâindividually and collectively.â Each team must have time to meet during the workday and throughout the school year. Teams must focus their efforts on crucial questions related to learning and generate products that reflect that focus, such as lists of essential outcomes, different kinds of assessment, analyses of student achievement, and strategies for improving results. Teams must develop norms or protocols to clarify expectations regarding roles, responsibilities, and relationships among team members. Teams must adopt student achievement goals linked with school and district goals. Professional learning communities judge their effectiveness on the basis of results. Working together to improve student achievement becomes the routine work of everyone in the school. Every teacher team participates in an ongoing process of identifying the current level of student achievement, establishing a goal to improve the current level, working together to achieve that goal, and providing periodic evidence of progress. Example of a PLC Goal: âWe will increase the percentage of students who meet the state standard in language arts from 83 percent to 90 percentâ or âWe will reduce the failure rate in our course by 50 percent.â The results-oriented professional learning community not only welcomes data but also turns data into useful and relevant information for staff.
Micromarketing is an advertising strategy that allows a corporation to target a niche group with a particular product or service. With micromarketing, a company defines an audience by a specific trait, such as gender or job title or age range, and then creates campaigns geared toward that specific group. Macro-marketing is a multidisciplinary domain that deals with the impact that marketing has on the economy and society. It specializes in marketing-society interrelationships, such as green marketing, fairness and ethics, social management, market control, consumer conduct, and others. Customer relations refers to the methods, strategies, and processes a company uses to build and maintain customer relationships. Every customer interaction has an impact, and it's more important than ever for companies to consistently meet expectations.s PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT is strategy involves the improvement of current products or services or the development of the new products with the purpose of increasing sales. MARKET DEVELOPMENT is a strategy involves the introduction of existing products or services into a new geographical area or market. STRATEGIC PLANNING a broad process that can address the entire business, or a portion of the business. PLANNING the process of predicting future events and conditions and of determining the best way to attain the goals and objectives of the organization. CUSTOMER VALUE relationship between benefits and the costs including money, stress, and time to sacrifice that is necessary to get those benefits. POLITENESS Saying âhelloâ, good afternoon sir/maâam, and thank you very much are a part of good customer services. PRODUCTION PROCESS it is the process must conform to standards in terms of product quality. RELATIONSHIP MARKETING involves creating, maintaining and enhancing strong relationships with customers and other stakeholders. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR a tool used to check the marketing activities and to track performance to make sure the company is on track to meet specific objectives. REACTIVE salesperson sells the product and encourage the customer to call whenever he or she has any questions or problems. MARKET PENETRATION the objective of this strategy is to increase market share of current products or services in current markets through greater and more intensive marketing efforts. LIQUIDATION this involves selling all of a companyâs assets, in parts or as a whole, for their tangible worth. PRICING TEST can be utilized by marketers to calculate a productâs or serviceâs optimal price, to determine price elasticity. POSITIONING the process of communicating the image of a brand into the minds of consumers. INDUSTRIES business organizations that purchase goods and services for the purpose of producing other products and services or for use in their products and operating processes.
Lesson 1: Why is the interior of the Earth hot? The interior of Earth is very hot (the temperature of the core reaches more than 5,000 degrees Celsius) for two main reasons: . The heat from when the planet formed, . The heat from the decay of radioactive elements. The Earth was formed by the process of accretion. After the creation of our solar system, meteorites gravitationally attracted each other and formed bigger objects, which attracted bigger masses, until our planets reach their current size. This process accumulated a lot of heat; when two objects collide, heat is generated. That is why your hands will get hot when you clap them for too long, or a nail gets very hot when you hammer it for a long time. This heat has not dissipated totally and represents about 10% of the total heat inside the Earth. The main source of heat is the decay of radioactive elements. Radioactive decay is a natural process; unstable elements like 238U (Uranium) or 40K (Potassium) stabilize with time and produce what we call daughter products: 206P (Lead) for Uranium and 40Ar (Argon) for Potassium. This process produces heat, which represents about 90% of the total heat inside the Earth. Lesson 2: How Magma Forms Magma is a molten and semi-molten rock mixture found under the surface of the Earth. This mixture is usually made up the of four parts: hot liquid base, called a melt; minerals crystallized by the melt; solid rocks incorporated into the melt from the surrounding confines; and dissolved gases. When magma is ejected by a volcano or other vent, the material is called lava. Magma that has cooled into a solid is

In a recent McKinsey poll, 84% of global executives reported that innovation was extremely important to their growth strategies, but a staggering 94% were dissatisfied with their organizationsâ innovation performance. Most people would agree that the vast majority of innovations fall far short of ambitions. On paper, this makes no sense. Never have businesses known more about their customers. Thanks to the big data revolution, companies now can collect an enormous variety and volume of customer information, at unprecedented speed, and perform sophisticated analyses of it. Many firms have established structured, disciplined innovation processes and brought in highly skilled talent to run them. Most firms carefully calculate and mitigate innovationsâ risks. From the outside, it looks as if companies have mastered a precise, scientific process. But for most of them, innovation is still painfully hit-or-miss. What has gone so wrong? The fundamental problem is, most of the masses of customer data companies create is structured to show correlations: This customer looks like that one, or 68% of customers say they prefer version A to version B. While itâs exciting to find patterns in the numbers, they donât mean that one thing actually caused another. And though itâs no surprise that correlation isnât causality, we suspect that most managers have grown comfortable basing decisions on correlations. Why is this misguided? Consider the case of one of this articleâs coauthors, Clayton Christensen. Heâs 64 years old. Heâs six feet eight inches tall. His shoe size is 16. He and his wife have sent all their children off to college. He drives a Honda minivan to work. He has a lot of characteristics, but none of them has caused him to go out and buy the New York Times. His reasons for buying the paper are much more specific. He might buy it because he needs something to read on a plane or because heâs a basketball fan and itâs March Madness time. Marketers who collect demographic or psychographic information about himâand look for correlations with other buyer segmentsâare not going to capture those reasons. After decades of watching great companies fail, weâve come to the conclusion that the focus on correlationâand on knowing more and more about customersâis taking firms in the wrong direction. What they really need to home in on is the progress that the customer is trying to make in a given circumstanceâwhat the customer hopes to accomplish. This is what weâve come to call the job to be done. We all have many jobs to be done in our lives. Some are little (pass the time while waiting in line); some are big (find a more fulfilling career). Some surface unpredictably (dress for an out-of-town business meeting after the airline lost my suitcase); some regularly (pack a healthful lunch for my daughter to take to school). When we buy a product, we essentially âhireâ it to help us do a job. If it does the job well, the next time weâre confronted with the same job, we tend to hire that product again. And if it does a crummy job, we âfireâ it and look for an alternative. (Weâre using the word âproductâ here as shorthand for any solution that companies can sell; of course, the full set of âcandidatesâ we consider hiring can often go well beyond just offerings from companies.)"
