When yeast feeds on sugar, it produces carbon dioxide (CO2) which makes the air bubbles in bread.

Draw the process of layering. Give an example of a plant that reproduces by layering.
A shoot of a parent plant is bent until it is covered by soil; tip of shoot remains above ground. New roots and stems grow. An example would be strawberries.

Within your group, label all the parts of a microscope.
When a cell is described to be prokaryotic, what does that mean? Give an example of a prokaryotic cell.
Prokaryotic means no nucleus. An example of a prokaryotic cell is any bacterial cell (e.g. E. coli).

Within your group, draw and label the steps of asexual reproduction of a bacteria cell.
1. Cell replicates DNA
2. Cytoplasmic membrane lengthens, separating the DNA
3. A cross wall forms; membrane folds in
4. Cross wall forms completely
5. Daughter cells formed

Within your group, draw and label the steps of asexual reproduction of yeast.
1) The yeast cell puts out a small bud from one side of itself. It moves a piece of its nucleus into it.
2) The original nucleus divides into two nuclei.
3) The yeast cell gradually pinches off the bud to make a new, smaller yeast cell.

Describe the process of reproduction through bulbs.
A bulb forms a bulbil (a tiny, secondary bulb). A bulbil becomes an offset when it grows to its full size. Offset is removed and planted to produce a new plant.
