The objective is to use statistical evidence from the rye seeds to help determine whether different nutrients medium affect plant growth. The rye seeds will be analyzed by determining the shoot biomass and shoot length for each of the five treatments (1) control: full nutrient complement; (2) Nitrogen deficient (full complement minus N); (3) Phosphorus deficient (full complement minus P); (4) Potassium deficient (full complement minus K) and (5) water. The factors, shoot biomass and length that are determined will be significant for finding the cause of length. Based on the background information, one can hypothesize that there would be a significant difference between the shoot lengths and biomass promoting poor plant growth. If the …show more content…
Each treatment number represented a specific treatment, treatment 1 was the control, treatment 2 was the N-deficient, treatment 3 was he P-deficient, treatment 4 was the K-deficient and treatment 5 was the water treatment. Starting from the bottom of the container there were several layers; folded paper towels, cotton, another layer of folded paper towels, 30 mL of the treatment, evenly spread 10 mL of rye seeds, folded paper towels and 20 mL of the same treatment. The containers were placed under the fluorescent light for two weeks. After two weeks, using the dissecting probe remove 20 plants from the middle, left and right corners from each growth container. The seed and root was removed using scissors, leaving the shoot behind. The shoot was then placed on the scale and weighed for shoot biomass, in milligrams, which was converted to grams by multiplying 1000, and the shoot length was recorded in centimeters. The shoot’s biomass and length were transferred to the Data Sheet and to a table on Excel. Two individual graphs, shoot’s biomass and length, were made on Excel after calculating the statistical data. The characteristic of shoot length and biomass of rye seeds in each treatment were compared and analyzed. It is apparent, from Table 1 that the comparison of the shoot and shoot length varies among the four t-tests. The nitrogen deficient, phosphorous deficient, potassium deficient and water were the four t-tests compared to a control treatment, with all
The hypothesis behind this experiment is that the Gibberellic acid has a positive growth effect on the plant and causes it grow larger in height.
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.
The low-density radish-collard mix pots contained four seeds of radishes and four seeds of collards. The high-density radish-collard pots contained 32 seeds of each species. While our group replicated this 3x2 design four times to total 24 posts, we incorporated the whole class data. Therefore, there were 16 replicates for each treatment. For each pot, we filled soil up until about one inch from the top. We placed the seeds in the pot and piled on around 2 or 3 cm of soil on top. In 3 species levels, seeds were spaced as evenly as possible. In the mixed species pot, the two species were alternated so that each one had the same access to space and nutrients at the other. For each pot, we wrote down our section number, group name, and the contents of the pot. Our group worked at the first bench in the greenhouse and also contained our pots that were spread out evenly in four rows. Our pots stayed in the greenhouse for about five weeks, captured as much sunlight as they could, and got their water source from sprinklers that automatically came on twice a
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
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.
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,
might affect the fitness of each variant. In other words which factors might increase plant growth, survival,
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)
This is what theologian Horbury surmised about early Christian persecutions, and I largely agree with this view. The Jews sometimes persecuted the early Christians because their beliefs clashed and this caused friction between the two religions. As well as this ‘incompatibility’ between the two faiths, Donatism also developed as a separate sect of Christianity within the orthodox church and a lot of persecution and hate was directed towards the early Christians. However, without this I do not believe that Christianity would have developed and formed the monotheistic, dogmatic religion that we associate ourselves with today.
Abstract Radioactivity is the process that an atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation to form a more stable atom, and time for radioactive material decay to half of the isotope is defined Half-life. Radon-220 observed in the experiment theoretically has a half-life with 54.5s. Two methods derived from the definition of Half-life and Radioactive Decay Law used to demonstrate half-life of Radon-220 under 400V and the closest result from the whole experiment is 55.90s with 2.57% error. The relationship of remaining atoms of Radon (1/∆T) and total elapsed time (t) is the main idea to find out Half-life in the experiment.
Stichler and Livingston (1999) previously stated that a major advantage of winter wheat compared with other small grain species that could be grown for winter forage production is its excellent tolerance to abiotic stresses including cold and drought. In addition, wheat forage has relatively high nutritive values including high protein, energy values, minerals, and low fiber concentrations, compared with barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), oat (Avena sativa L.), and rye (Secale cereale L.) forages. Generally, forage yield of winter wheat from late November to early March is more consistent and productive than that of the other species (Denman and Arnold, 1970; Watson et al., 1993). Bockus et al. (2001) and Watson et al. (1993) mentioned that susceptibility of winter wheat to Hessian fly [Mayetiola destructor (Say)], leaf rust (incited by Puccinia triticina), and several virus diseases could be obstacles for successful winter forage production, especially in early planted regions.
Firstly, for the setup of the experiment, two styrofoam cups were filled with two inches worth of standard, fertilized garden soil, next four seeds from from the garden seed, and the bird seed were placed an inch deep in separate cups. The seeds were blindly labeled, with one being labeled group A and one being labeled group B. This was so as to efficiently conduct a double blind experiment. The seeds were watered with approximately a teaspoon of water per day, and kept in a sunny windowsill. They were left in the windowsill for two weeks, and watered daily.
In a business there are several important factors on making a company noticed than the rest. A company’s mission statement, responsibilities, and organizational design are big factors to a company when it comes to your customers, employees, and recognition. If I was a dog sitter service company I would make sure all these factors would benefit the company. A company’s missions is very important to customers and for your employees. I would put my missions statement as “Our mission is to provide the best customer service, understand the needs for customers and pets, and ensure all pets are healthy and loved.”
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.
While people recognize that firefighting is a treacherous job, several assume that the prevalent risks of the occupation are casualties on the scenes of accidents and fires. Although mishaps are a source of deaths in the field of firefighting, they are far from being the only hazard. With firefighters being involved in high-stress situations along with being in structures filled with smoke, a few of the most frequent risks are heart attacks as well as other diseases dealing with smoke and chemical inhalation; nevertheless, there are other dangers that account for a smaller portion of deaths.
