Analysis Of Dorothy Retallack 's Research On Plants And Plants

In this experiment we are testing the effect of fertilizer on the speed of plant growth. We prepared a 4 quad cell, 1 control group and 3 experimental groups. So, we had one with no fertilizer, one with three seeds of fertilizer, one with six seeds of fertilizer, and lastly, one with nine seeds of fertilizer. The plants that we grew were called Wisconsin Fast Plants, members of the crucifer family. These plants are small and easy to grow, but for optimal growth they require continuous fertilizer, water, fluorescent light, and temperature between 18 degrees Celsius and 26 degrees Celsius 24 hours a day. Fertilizers are substances that are put into soils to increase the growth of the plant. There are two different types of fertilizers, synthetic

This experiment, which was used to explore the Theory of Evolution created by Charles Darwin. The use of natural selection was apparent in the artificial modification of an organism's traits which aided in this investigation. Through this experiment the Wisconsin Fast Plant was used. It is a fast-growing organism developed to improve the resistance to disease in cruciferous plants. This plant aids scientist in the exploration of environmental effects on population due to the speed to which is matures and reproduces. Artificial selection was stimulated by the selection against plants with few hairs(trichomes). Trichomes create a wider variation which means it is polygenic. The plants that had only a few trichomes were

The character who changed the most from beginning to end in The Bean Trees was Lou Ann Ruiz. When Taylor first meets Lou Ann, she has just been left by her husband, Angel, to raise her newborn son, Dwayne Ray, alone. Despite this Lou Ann still wishes for her husband to return because she believes that a marriage should last forever. Throughout the story, Lou Ann goes from relying on her husband to unbuckle her shoes for her to becoming an independent, single mother.

Charlene Forest is an associate professor in the Biology department at Brooklyn College, who dedicates her research in to trying to understand the mechanism behind the process of fertilization in algae, as well as what controls expression of gamete-specific genes. To do so, she must understand how sperm and egg gametes first recognize and then fuse with each other. Thus, in order to find what causes the fusion of these gametes, Forest’s lab is cloning genes that prevent the fusion of sperm and egg gametes. She hopes that her research on the fertilization process in algae will help understand the fertilization process in other organisms, particularly humans.

From a diagram of an idealized flower, correctly label the following structures and describe the function of each structure:

Throughout The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver, Marietta ‘Missy’ Greer goes through many changes. From changing her name to adopting a child and many more life changing events. When she left Pittman County, she probably didn’t expect to have what she ran away from. Taylor left her home in Kentucky since she didn’t want to end up like all the other girls there. Most girls didn’t finish school, got married early, and had many kids. Taylor wanted a better life for herself so she left and made a new life in Tucson, Arizona. Some significant items that changed her life are Lou Ann’s ad in the newspaper, a photo of her and Estevan after Esperanza’s suicide attempt, and Turtle’s custody documents. Each of these items play an important role in Taylor’s

The essay "In Search of Our Mother's Gardens" by contemporary American novelist Alice Walker is one that, like a flashbulb, burns an afterimage in my mind. It is an essay primarily written to inform the reader about the history of African American women in America and how their vibrant, creative spirit managed to survive in a dismal world filled with many oppressive hardships. This piece can be read, understood, and manage to conjure up many emotions within the hearts and minds of just about any audience that reads it. However, Walker targets African American women in today's society in an effort to make them understand their heritage and appreciate what their mothers and grandmothers endured to

The purpose of this entire experiment was to see if music (a distraction) would affect how many time we could press a clothespin. We were hoping that the music would distract us from the pain we felt, and hopefully increased the amount of times we could press it. We even hypothesized that if we were distracted by fast-paced music, then the amount of total clothespin presses will increase. However, our hypothesis was not supported. The average amount of presses without music was 46.425, while the average amount of presses with music was only 43.9. The addition of music did not seem to affect the amount of presses in our experiment.

Since the dawn of time, we humans have considered music as an arrangement of tones and rests into continuous patterns - a medium through which emotions and messages can be conveyed. In his novel, Bug Music, author, musician, and environmental philosopher, David Rothenberg, attempts to challenge all previously held beliefs surrounding how humans gained a sense of rhythm and sound. Rothenberg’s widely-acclaimed novel considers the notion that humans gained their perception of rhythm, synchronization, and sound from the great thrumming of insects. It is imperative for any student taking AP Biology to comprehend how the synchronization of rhythms is essential for cycles of nature at the ecological level, and the maintaining of the body’s balances at the level of the organism (Rothenberg,

For both the of the groups the same amount and type of soil The types of post and the amount of sunlight that each plant received was also the same. Five seeds where planted in the control pots and 10 seeds in the experimental pots. The soybeans seeds where placed at random within the pot and where buried 5 centimeters in the soil. Once the soybean plant started to appear a set number of plants from each pot where eliminated.

Klausner is a young scientist who is experimenting with the wonders of sounds that are not audible to the human ear. In his shed, Klausner created a machine in which he can hear the sounds not audible to the human ear. One day, Dr. Scott comes to his house, and when he sees the machine he is intrigued. Eventually, he explains the machine to the Doctor. After Dr. Scott leaves, Klausner starts experimenting with the machine, at first he hears nothing, and then all of a sudden he hears a shriek. Yet, no one is in sight except for Mrs. Sanders who his cutting her roses, and he hypothesizes that the sound is from her roses. Then, Klausner tests his theory and tries to tell Mrs. Sanders, but she doesn't believe him. He starts experimenting with a

Thesis: Music is a unique form of sound powerful enough to manipulate mood, feelings, and cognition.

Music elicits an emotional and cognitive response in all who listen to it. It is powerful at the individual level because “it can induce multiple responses – physiological, movement, mood, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral” (Francis, 2008,
