Color of Light Affecting the Growth of Alaskan Pea Plants

The Alaskan pea (Pisum Sativum) is an annual plant or a plant that occurs once a year. Another common name is a garden pea. Since alaskan peas are plants they require water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide to do photosynthesis. Since Alaskan peas are annual they usually happen around the cool months. “ Peas are a cool season vegetable, and do best in a climate where there are two months of cool growing weather, either spring planting in the northern regions or fall planting in the warmer, southern regions.” (Veggie Harvest).Peas grow up to 3-4 feet tall and are hardy to frost and light freezes. “Alaskan Peas take 8 to 10 days to germinate and 52 days to fully mature.” (Veggie Harvest.)

Plants can be very beneficial to the environment and in human life. Plants can absorb the carbon dioxin that human don't need, and through photosynthesis it convert into oxygen for human to use. Growing more plants can help improve the air quality and reduce greenhouse effect.

Plants have many roles to play. Plants make food and oxygen, they provide shelter for animals, and they make and preserve soil, and provide useful products for humans. Plants are the only organism that is able to convert light energy from the sun into food. This process is called photosynthesis. The food that we eat is produced by plants. Humans need oxygen to live. This oxygen comes from plants. Oxygen is produced when plants make food. Animals often use plants for their shelter and their food source. Plants roots help hold the soil together and also help make soil. Plants help humans more than just the oxygen they produce. They also produce food, fibers, medicines, and energy. Animals and humans depend greatly on the roles of plants. (1)

Hundreds of years ago, Pea has been used as the fundamental hybridization studies and was the model organism of choice for “Mendel’s discovery of the laws of inheritance, making pea part of the foundation of modern genetics.” The main purpose of our experiment was to test the effects of chemical on the growth of the peas. We hypothesize that the .5 and 5 percent bleach will negatively affect plant growth and development, and result in smaller size and coloration. We also hypothesize that the bleach will have a stronger effect than the controls plants. Through our studies we saw how the chemicals affects the plants. We decided to use bleach as the experimental groups for this project after much group discussion. We all seemed to

The plant is required to be able to work at the molecular level, because (as only of many examples) it needs sucrose. Proton pumping and the cotransport of sucrose and H+ are two of the ways for a plant to get its required amounts of sucrose. The plant is also in need of nitrogen for its organic synthesis. It can acquire that by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert atmospheric N2 to nitrogenous minerals.

First, each pea plant within both the normal and dwarf samples need to be measured in order to determine their initial height before gibberellin treatment. This is essential in order to calculate and attain the average height of the plants before and after the gibberellin treatment. Next, the first row of both samples (inclusive of approximately five plants each) will serve as the negative control groups where distilled water is the only aspect added. Then, the second row for both samples will require a concentration of 0.1 mg/L gibberellin to be added, while the third row will require that 10 mg/L of gibberellin concentration be added, and the fourth 100 mg/L concentration. Addition of gibberellin should be completed in this order and should be added to the bud portion of the plant.

As mentioned above, the increase in the growth of hypocotyl of white radish sprout is large and most stable on red light. In addition, that on white light has no tendency and that on blue and green light are small, although larger than that on no light. This result suggests that light seems to help the gravitropism on radish, and this effect may be maximized on red light.

The seeds also need a reasonable warm time of year to grow as if they don't the seeds won't be able germinate

The novel "They came before Columbus" by Ivan Sertima is an essential part of understanding the key role plants play in life. Without even getting deeper into the novel one can interpret the title as saying plants were the first essential element and life form here on earth. Plants role in the human life is so important because they contribute to our economy more than anything else in the world. Plants provide food, oxygen, shelter, medicine, crops, and even clothes. The role of a plant is so essential because, they allow for the economy to thrive fully. Ivan Sertima was quoted saying, " The adoption of a plant is no simple matter". By Sertima quoting this he was demonstrating the complexity of plant life as a species. Sertima understand the

The purpose of this experiment is to assess and analyze pea plant response, and potential growth, to the hormones Auxin and Gibberellin. Six pea seeds were used to ascertain the results, two of which were utilized as a control group while the other four contained either Auxin or Gibberellin, in pairs, respectively. Given ample amounts of light, non-acidic soil and saturated in water twice a week, all of the seeds were observed over a one month period and data was recorded weekly. Results of the experiment show that only one of each pair of pea plants grew. After four weeks, seed #1 of the pea plant containing three drops of Auxin grew to 105 millimeters, seed #2 of the control group grew to 95 millimeters, and seed #1 of the pea

Plants, animals, and seeds all have innate value and can exist on its own. They are not dependent on the value humans place on them or the various methods humans attempt to alter them. The

When we buy and plant packets of common flower, vegetable, or herb seeds, we spend a lot of time, energy, and water in our efforts to get those seeds to germinate and grow, and take pride in our green thumb and homegrown food supply.

All plants rely on nutrients to help them repair damaged cells and grow, each nutrient with its own benefit. For example, selenium increases plant resilience within harsh climates. Plant morphology and growth is especially important for crops that are in high demand such as winter wheat grain which has one of the highest worldwide production rates. The effect of the abundance of nutrients on plant morphology is further investigated in this study. This study entails winter wheat seeds being placed in treatments of different concentrations of nutrients and observed and measured after two weeks have passed. By keeping the environment constant, the effect of each treatment was measured exclusively. The plants in the treatment without nutrients were noticeable shorter than those in the treatments which contained nutrients. The results found suggest that the concentration of nutrients is not as important so long as nutrients are included in the treatment.

Increased photoperiod is associated with increased growth rate which demands more Ca2+. Imbalances of Ca2+supply during high photoperiod renders the plant vulnerable to Ca2+ deficiency disorders. Shading reduced the incidence of BER in tomato possibly by cut off of high light intensities which promoted BER through accelerated fruit growth (Ho and White 2005a). Higher fruit growth rate renders fruit to BER susceptibility through diluting fruit Ca2+ (Bertin et al. 2000; DeKock, Inkson, and Hall 1982; Wui and Takano 1995). High light may reduce RH that causes the fruits susceptible to Ca2+ related disorders (Adams and Ho 1993). Shading may delay the incidence of BER by reducing its appearance. Both of light intensity and duration can
