Identifying Plant Hypothesis

all treatments contain the same type of soil, are planted in the same size of pan, are exposed to the same amount of sunlight, and are maintained at the same temperature throughout the course of the experiment. ON THE TEST there will be a number of related questions about this section not just the question shown below.

There are many ways to obtain seeds to grow flowers in the springtime, but not all seeds were created equal. Sunflower seeds, for example, can be bought at a garden store in a packet for $1.5 dollars per 6 gram packet, but they can also be found in bird seed for $3.53 dollars per 10 pounds. This experiment intends to find if the germination of a store bought packet of sunflower seeds matches the germination rate of sunflower seeds obtained from a bag of bird seed. While both seeds will germinate, it is believed that the bird seed will not be as robust in growth as the garden seed, due to the fact that the garden seed is made to be grown, while the bird seed is made for consumption.

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

Null Hypothesis – A plant on a window sill does not grow faster than a plant on a living room coffee table

Null Hypothesis: There is no statistical difference between the plant’s environmental conditions and the time

During laboratory week seven of Biology 232, the experiment of peroxidase characterization in monocot plants and dicot plants was presented to the students. The plants students could choose from were radishes, turnips, and beets. The stressing of the plants was to be carried out over two weeks, during the students’ fall break, as the experimental procedures were to be carried out over laboratory weeks eight and nine to identify peroxidase activity. The two taxonomic classifications of plants are Dicotyledonae and Monocotoledonae, which were discovered in 1682 by John Ray.

To test our hypothesis of whether we were correct or not, we came up with a specific experimental procedures. Our group’s experimental procedures included six major steps. First, we evenly distributed clusters of Duckweed into cups, which should be an average of about 20 duckweed fronds. We then got 6 plastic picnic cups and filled them with pond water (50 mL of pond water each) and the duckweed fonds. After that, using graduated cylinders, we added the mixture of Low Nitrate 88 ppm and Low Phosphate 10ppm solution into three of the cups (25 mL added to the 50 mL). We didn't have to cover the cups with clear plastic wrap, seal each with a rubber band, and poke holes in the plastic wrap for air to enter because we chose to have natural light and air flow. We then labeled each cup with a marker with our group table number, and which cups had the solution (experiment) and which had just pond water (control). The final step was to let them sit for one week in natural sunlight and record the results after 7 days. The materials used by our group included, Low Nitrate 88 ppm and Low Phosphate 10ppm solution, duckweed fonds, graduated cylinder, six plastic picnic cups, and a permanent marker. Our group’s experimental design included the treatment, control, independent and dependent variables, and the results. The

The question to ask is how does saline intrusion effect different plants? In this experiment, we have three different species of plants that we measure every week. The experiment should show how the salt water effects the different plants that have never been exposed to salt water.

In fact, it was Plant E which only received indirect sunlight. Plant A, by day twenty, had only grown to twelve and one-fourth of an inch whereas Plant B had grown to seventeen inches. Throughout most of the experiment, Plant A was never the tallest plant except for day(s) four and six. I believe the reason for this is due to the fact that since Plant A had a constant rate of light, it processed way too much energy for it to be a healthy intake. Therefore, my hypothesis was proven

2. There are more precise patterns that can be observed from the herbarium plants over any other kind of plant.

The plants were not exposed to direct sunlight but were rather placed under LED lights; they were watered every day except on weekends for the duration of the experiment. On week 2, There was a total of 17 plants collected. Then, the phenotypes of the plants were observed in which 13 of them were purple and 4 were green. On week 3, two plants that did not have the purple pigment present were thrown away. There was a total of 18 plants in which the observed phenotype was 16 purple and 2 green. On week 4, one green plant was thrown away, yielding a total of 17 flowers. A paintbrush was used to transfer the pollen to each of the flowers. This was

1. Living specimens of angiosperms (dicots & monocots) with roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. (Imperata cylindrical, zea mays, Carica papaya, Phaseolus sp.)

Furthermore, both sites were likely to be similar in the soil pH and make-up. As the sun and shade sites were near each other, they were both next to the same trees. Thus, any leaves decomposing were likely to be similar as they would have been from these trees. Hence, the scope for variation of pH or soil make-up would have been minimal and thus will allow comparability between the results.

Count the number of plant species in the quadrat sectioning them off into five different groups, trees, shrubs, herbs, grass and moss.

The experiment entailed the utilization of three species of plants. The first species, Oryza sativa Linn., was preselected while the last two species were left to the discretion of the proponent of the study. Prudent seed selection was done to ensure the preservation of the diversity of the plant species that will be utilized for the experiment.
