The document discusses cinnamon, an important export crop for Sri Lanka. It provides details on cinnamon's botanical classification, growth areas in Sri Lanka, planting methods with a spacing of 4'x3' and 5 plants per hole. The document outlines that cinnamon is ready for its first harvest between 2-2 1/2 years when the bark changes color to brown, with subsequent harvests every 6 months. It also describes the peeling process to produce cinnamon quills and the different quality grades of cinnamon products.
This document provides information on several safari destinations in Sri Lanka including Kalpitiya Peninsular, Horton Place, Yala National Park, Bundala National Park, Udawalawa National Park, and Sinharaja Rain Forest. It lists the distance from Colombo and the airport to each location as well as the transport time and highlights of wildlife that can be seen such as dolphins, leopards, elephants, deer, and birds.
The Sinharaja Forest Reserve is an important rainforest located in Sri Lanka. It is a national park, biodiversity hotspot, biosphere reserve, and World Heritage Site. The forest contains high levels of biodiversity and endemism, including over 50% of Sri Lanka's animal and plant species. It is located across Galle, Matara, and Ratnapura districts and can be accessed from several entry points. The forest supports important ecosystems and wildlife, including many endangered species.
Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organisms that are typically 0.2um in diameter and 2-8um in length, lacking a nucleus and other organelles. They can be found in many environments including soil, water, plants, animals, hot springs and ocean depths. Bacteria have structures like pili, flagella, cell capsules, DNA, ribosomes, plasma membranes and cell walls.
Sexual Reproduction in Flowering PlantsRuzannaSupar
This document discusses sexual reproduction in flowering plants. It defines pollination as the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma, and fertilization as the fusion of male and female sex cells. The document outlines the process of pollination, where pollen is transferred to the stigma by pollinators like bees and birds, and fertilization, where pollen tubes grow into the style and ovary for the male and female sex cells to fuse. The goal is for students to understand these processes and how defects could impact sexual reproduction in flowering plants.
This document discusses several types of carnivorous plants, including cephalotus which lives in acidic bogs and poor soil but has plenty of bugs to eat. The famous Venus flytrap has trigger hairs and is only found in the Carolina region. Drosera uses a luring chitenase enzyme and needs nitrogen and phosphorus for nutrition and DNA production. Nepenthes spreads seeds like regular plants and some use bacteria to help digest their food. These plants developed carnivorous tendencies because they can no longer survive in nutritious soil.
