Monocot Vs Dicots

Four cups of equal size were filled with one cup of garden soil. Lima beans were planted at an equal depth (one inch as instructed on the bag). Every day, for 33 days, each plant received one half tablespoon of the specified liquid. Beans one and two got one half tablespoon of water each,

Our data recorded shows that the germinating peas did consume more oxygen than the non-germinating or the glass beads alone and that the cooler temperature did slow down the consumption of oxygen in the germinating peas. In both water baths the atmospheric pressure seemed to increase causing our reading to raise in our glass beads and non-germinating peas. This direct relationship in reading leads us to believe that the oxygen consumption in the non-germinating peas was minimal if any at all.

Have you ever wondered how are plants are different from each other or how are plants seeing a different outcome and affect? Well, sometimes all different kinds of plants has something that will be added more and even added less towards the structure. For instance, you should look at like by the type of water and how it could benefit it or not,even the type of seed and how it could benefit or not.In addition, Tap water has bad stories behind it, saying like the toxins in Tap water can accumulate in your body for years, so if tap water is added to a plant it could probably make the plant die in a few hours or even the plants wouldn’t have much of a growth. And others saying that Spring water is clean the Tap water.

The purpose of this experiment is to observe the effects of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) on the germination rate of Wisconsin Fast Plants.

Determination is the first theme shown throughout the novel, Where The Red Fern Grows. When Billy ordered his two dogs and went on a trip to get them, Billy used his strong determination to brave out rude city people and get over all of the hardships in his way. “I was ready to die for my dogs.” (Rawls 45-46) After Billy went to the city and collected his pups, he went on a venture to go back home. When the night came, Billy and his dogs slept in a cave, but then a mountain lion caught the scent of Billy’s dogs and roared out into the Ozarks. Billy became determined and protected his dog with his life against the mountain lion. Another example of determination in the novel, Where The Red Fern Grows is when Billy would not stop looking

As concentration of salt increases, the growth of plant will be detrimentally effected when grown in a controlled environment.

The first lab was conducted to analyze how germination affects the rate of cellular respiration in lima beans compared to dormant seeds. In order to

The results observed do not correspond with the outcome predicted by the hypothesis. Despite the nature of the subjects of the experiments, no substantial growth was observed. Only one seed of the 36 planted germinated, and it could only survive for a period of a week. The one seed that germinated reach a height of 1.2 cm. Table 1 presents the average growth observed in each quad. Each quad had a total of 12 seeds. No seeds were removed during the course of the experiment.

Throughout this experiment, we are researching the effect on the growth and survival of Wisconsin Fast Plants using fertilizer pellets to help with the growth of the plants. Wisconsin Fast Plants is a plant member of the crucifer family which is related to other plants (vegetables) such as cabbage, broccoli, turnips, etc. This plants are small and can grow very easily because they go through their cell cycle around 40 days. Wisconsin Fast Plants Fertilizers are different materials used that can provide plants with the nutrients it need to grow. (1) These plants are a good model system to study because they grew very quickly and didn’t need a lot of resources to grow making them the perfect plant to use for studies. (4) By using the fertilizers,

Colin Powell once said, “A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” A character is revealed through hard work and most importantly, determination. “Determination is the key to a goal” is what is shown throughout the book, Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. Billy (the main character) is a determined to reach all goals that will take hard work, but a lot of determination.

The purpose of this lab was to investigate and observe the effects of organic vs. synthetic fertilizers on plant growth by planting lima beans with added amounts of fertilizers, and to see how does adding different nutrients to the soil affect the growth of the lima bean? A significant difference was examined between the plants that contained manure and miracle growth, unfortunately the plant with no additional fertilizers (Plant #3) did not show any growth. The plant that grew the most was the one that contained manure, to an extent the one that grew the most in a short period of time was the one that contained miracle growth, as shown in figure I. The hypothesis explaining if the Lima Bean plant contains synthetic nutrients in the soil then

51) A botanist wanted to see if a new strain of corn could germinate in soil that was too salty for regular corn. She conducted a study on the germination success of seeds from the new strain that were exposed to various levels of salty soil, from zero to normal (100mg/L) to high (200 mg/L) to very high (400 mg/L) to normally lethal (800 mg/L)

What we were trying to find with this experiment was recommend soil salt concentrations, soil pH levels, and optimize light bulbs, for a greenhouse growth of different types of potatoes. We did this by determining ideal soil salt concentrations by calculating percent mass change in potatoes at various salt concentrations, determining optimal pH for maximum catalase activity, and using a spectrophotometer to determine the absorbance of pigment extracted from leaves. In the first experiment, we were able to find that the concentration that was hypotonic to potato cells would be 0.0M NaCl. While the salt concentrations that are hypertonic to the potato cells are 0.2 M NaCl, 0.4 NaCl, and 0.6 M NaCl.

Purpose: To see the effect of an acid introduced during seed germination, on the length of the plant roots. Also shows how salt can affect the seed germination. Acid can be introduced to seeds during germination if there is acid rain. Knowing the results of acid rain on seed germination will help us understand how to grow pants better, and how to have more successful germination. Salt can be introduced into a seed during germination because salt is put on roads and the salt builds up and can contaminate the soil. Knowing the effects of salt on seed germination will allow us to know for sure if the salt is affecting the plants growth or not.

The plants that grow in saline soils have diverse ionic compositions and a range in concentrations of dissolved salts (Volkmar et al., 1998). These concentrations fluctuate because of changes in water source, drainage, evapo-transpiration, and solute availability (Volkmar et al., 1998). Due to these varying conditions, plant growth depends on a supply of inorganic nutrients, and this level of nutrients varies in time and space (Maathius and Amtmann, 1999). Either extreme condition concerning nutrients results in deficiency or toxicity in plants, and this is demonstrated by salt tolerance (Maathius and Amtmann, 1999). These conditions vary according to the plant species and growth conditions. Little is known about the genetic basis for diversity of salt tolerance in plants, and this could be partly explained through the definitions given for salinity.
