  2. Phototropism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototropism

    Different organs of the plant may exhibit different phototropic reactions to different wavelengths of light. Stem tips exhibit positive phototropic reactions to blue light, while root tips exhibit negative phototropic reactions to blue light. Both root tips and most stem tips exhibit positive phototropism to red light.

  3. Exploded-view drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploded-view_drawing

    An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [1]It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram.

  4. Plant morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_morphology

    When structures in different species are believed to exist and develop as a result of common, inherited genetic pathways, those structures are termed homologous. For example, the leaves of pine, oak, and cabbage all look very different, but share certain basic structures and arrangement of parts. The homology of leaves is an easy conclusion to ...

  5. Plant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_cell

    Structure of a plant cell. Plant cells are the cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of flagella or ...

  6. Interchangeable parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchangeable_parts

    Interchangeable parts are parts that are identical for practical purposes. They are made to specifications that ensure that they are so nearly identical that they will fit into any assembly of the same type. One such part can freely replace another, without any custom fitting, such as filing. This interchangeability allows easy assembly of new ...

    Astronomical filter: Used to select specific colors (or light frequencies) for astrophotography. Filter wheel: One manner to easily insert filters into the optical train. Mostly used for photography. Focuser: Allows the user to adjust the focus by moving the eyepiece along the optical axis.

  8. Photometric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometric_system

    In astronomy, a photometric system is a set of well-defined passbands (or optical filters), with a known sensitivity to incident radiation.The sensitivity usually depends on the optical system, detectors and filters used.
