Dry Phaseolus Vulgaris In Navy Beans

508 Words3 Pages

Methods
Dry Phaseolus vulgaris (Navy beans) were purchased from the local grocery store. A handle full of beans were sifted through to remove any beans that were damaged or halved. The beans were then filtered by size to remove beans smaller or larger than 1.5 cm. Removing the abnormal beans lessened the possibilities of variation in plant growth. The remaining beans were soaked in room temperature mineral water for 1 hour to accelerate germination. We soaked over 15 beans with the knowledge that the beans could split again after being soaked. After the soaking process was complete six beans were chosen for planting.
In preparation for planting, two 8 oz. plastic cups were utilized for the control and experimental groups. For adequate drainage the bottom of the each cup was punctured three times. The cups were then filled with approximately 4 oz. of the soil provided to us for this experiment. Three beans were placed in each cup of soil 1 in. deep and 1 in. apart. After planting and gently covering the seeds, the soil was moistened with 1 oz. of distilled water. We printed a 27 cm ruler and taped it to the inside of each cup for accurate measuring. The cups were placed in a window sill with sufficient access to sunlight. The window is fitted with a …show more content…

Previous experiments on the subject carried out this procedure once or twice a day. We conducted this process once a day at 9 a.m. to observe how the smallest amount of stress altered the plant’s development. Nitrile gloves were worn during the encounters to reduce any chemical exchange between the hands and the plant surfaces. After measurements were recorded, each plant was watered at the base of the shoot with 0.5 oz. of distilled water. None of the leaves came in contact with the water to ensure that the plant’s responses would only be affected by touch. The plants were then returned to the window

    Both Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco var. menziesii) and red alder (Alnus ruba Bong) use seeds as a method of reproduction. Gymnosperms, such as Douglas-fir, have “naked” seeds (i.e. no fruit), while angiosperms, such as red alder, usually have seeds in fruit (catkins for red alder).

    As a result, plants have adapted ways to protect themselves against their natural predators by implementing “defense mechanisms”. Such adaptations may be structural or chemical, where structural mechanisms are simply parts of plant structural arrangement, such as thorns. Chemical defense mechanisms are more complex, and involve production of retarding chemical compounds and toxins. These volatile compounds are often released when the plant is damaged, and have physical effects on the predator.

    Although there were no major set changes, the piece created to mimic a house in Indiana seemed quite accurate. In this show, it's incredible how such a simple set piece functioned in so many different ways. As the characters moved from the living room to the ¨kitchen¨, functioning doors and sound effects created a realistic environment for the characters to perform in. Furthermore, the window in the house was a necessary component when cottage cheese rained down on William´s potential boss in one of the final scenes. Without the window in the set, this scene would become impossible and unrealistic.

In the third step you will now designate a pot for your control group by labeling the pot with “ control group, 15 mL, and your name.” In step four you will label the pot not labeled control group by labeling it, “experimental group, 23 mL, and your name again.” Now, in the fifth step you will want to have your graduated cylinder and fill it with water to the 15 mL line and place the water into the pot now labeled control group, you will want to evenly water your pot so each part of the soil has access to water.

    Because Esperanza is capable of finding love as she says, the window acts as a device that she can direct her hope through. While fantasizing about a different life, “away from Mango Street”, Esperanza describes a house that she would find nice, a house with “flowers and big windows … [that] would swing open, all the sky [coming] in” (Cisneros 82). Esperanza isn’t content with her current life and wishes for a life with something more, a life with a house to call home. The windows that bring in the sky in Esperanza’s dream home act as a symbol for significance in life, the windows are big because they are part of Esperanza’s hopes that she has been dreaming of through windows and the sky coming in represents Esperanza being wild and free from the bounds of her current unsatisfactory environment. Windows symbolize the novel’s theme of struggling to attain a gratifying life by acting as an object for the characters to direct their hope

  • Summary Of The Intelligent Plant

    1417 Words  | 6 Pages

    The mimosa is a prime subject for this testing as its reflex behavior is observably quick enough to document the reactions; upon contact, the fernlike leaves of the plant recoil from the touch. This behavior is likely used as a defense mechanism to scare off insects but in the study, it was used to measure the plants’ responses and help to conclude if they were adapting to the conditions. The experiment Gagliano conducted tested nearly five dozen mimosa plants’ reactions to being dropped a small distance every few seconds. Gagliano noted how the organisms initially reacted by folding up but after only a few drops, the leaves began to reopen. The ecologist took this as evidence that the mimosa plants recognized that there was no harm in this particular movement and “had concluded that the stimulus could be safely ignored” (Pollan).

    As Geyh argues in her essay, the window is the boundary of the house, which simultaneously separates and connects the inside and the outside (111). By turning the light on, it goes dark; “[f]unctioning as a mirror, it creates a circle of inwardness” (111). It sustains the illusion that what is inside is the only reality that exists, since the outside is no longer visible. The window then emerges as a separation tool from nature outside rather than a means of

    After this encounter, she looks out of the window to attempt to see who was knocking at the door. Cieraad (1999) describes the importance of the window, and what the window represents to the home. Windows can be portrayed as a transparent border that separates the inside and outside realms, disconnecting the private home to the public world. She notes how houses in the 18th Century had large sash windows. These act as a visible barrier between the home and the outside world.

    Introduction: In this task I will be researching the effect that acid rain has on the rate of plant growth. Acid rain is any type of precipitation with a high pH, with high levels of nitric acids. The reason why I had chosen this topic was because acid rain seems to have a great effect on the effect of plant growth, and plants play a very important role in our ecosystem. Acid rain is a major problem in our environment when we are not able to neutralize the acidity.
