Observation: I want to know what effect salt has on the growth of grass. So I measure out 3 equal-sized squares of grass out the back of the Green Building. The first square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water from a watering can every day. The second square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water with 2 grams of salt mixed in, every day. The third square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water with 4 grams of salt mixed in, every day. I measure the height of the grass after 14 days and note the following observations. The first square is green and 15 cm high. The second square is greeny-yellow and 6 cm high. The third square is yellowy-brown and looks dead and is only 2cm high. What could we infer about the effect salt has on the growth of grass?

- You are working as food technologist with a pectin supplier. A jam manufacturer calls you regarding a few problems he was facing during the jam production. Troubleshoot the problem and suggest appropriate solutions. • The jam failed to set properly. • The blackberry jam set too fast. • The citrus peel in marmalade float near the top. • A lot of air bubbles trapped in the jam.arrow_forwardThis lab simulation will use an instrument called a spectrophotometer. This instrument quantitatively measures the amount of light that is absorbed or transmitted by molecules in solution. Different cells and culture media absorb best at a specific, known, wavelength. In this case the amount of light transmission is related to the number of bacteria present. Optical Density is the value given to the measurement of turbidity. Environmental factors, such as temperature and pH, can disrupt the structure of enzymes, resulting in denaturation and making them unable to function.The growth of microorganisms can be controlled in the laboratory by altering environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen content, osmotic pressure, and pH. write in your own words the Microbial Growth - Effects of pHarrow_forwardName a functional plant which have antibacterial, anti cancer and anti diabetic activity?
