Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Situation of Analysis Plant growth is the increase in cell size and number (Fred H. Wilt, 2014). From the seeds that was planted under the soil and in to a plant that emerge from the soil. The growth of plants is a natural process that occurs every time a plant is being planted. Plants have cells that help them to grow or increase in size. Not all plants grow as tall as a tree it is according to their origin or type of plant that the seeds came from, for example, mongo seeds do not grow as tall as trees like bonsai, the shrubs and flowers. Some plants grow as tall as trees as or more than the size of it, like the bamboo they grew as three feet tall. The use of mongo seeds is a great factor for this experiment. Mongo seeds were chosen in this study due to its simplicity in planting it. The mongo seeds can be found in different supermarkets, therefore, it is used in this study. Pollution means the effect of human activities that destroys the environment; it is observed in land, air, and water (www.businessdictionary.com). It has a great effect for a plant’s growth; it can make a plant not to grow properly, it can disturb the plant and making it not to grow and …show more content…
One is the temperature of the weather. According to Bonnie L. Grant, 2014, cold temperature can freeze a plant’s cell and it can cause the plant not to grow. The experiment was done in a scientific way that would be using materials that can be used to do this experiment. They think that this experiment can be very useful for others and not only for them. They have formulated plenty of hypotheses, one in which they believe that this experiment will be a success due to the materials and places that they can found and the other being the fact that they too have an equally negative insight that they will not succeed due to the lack of the things they will need. They started gathering information on how they will do this
Other experiments using the same concept could be done. As an exemplification, one could try to use the solutions on different seeds to see if the seed type affected the experiment. Or maybe one should put the seeds in soil and then add the solution to see if the soil changes the outcome. Also, there could be an even less concentrated mixture of “Miracle Gro and water because there might have been too much “Miracle Gro” added. Additionally, it can be added to already grown plants to see the effect it has on
We were asked to correctly communicate these findings as we tested each of the substances she had encountered with both water and hexane. In experiment number three, The Relationship Between the Volume of a Gas and the Temperature, we where given a list of materials and asked to come up with our own procedure, which we did using zip lock bags filled with air, and submerged fully in a measured amount of water in order to find the volume, and then the change in volume when the temperature of the water was increased. In the fourth experiment we were asked to find the temperature of heated water, based on the cold and warm water. The experiment also required that each section be preformed several times in order to ensure accuracy, and also asked that the experimental responsibilities be split up between lab partners, each doing a section of the testing. This gave us an opportunity to work together with our fellow lab partners, with no one person doing the bulk of the work.
The scientific method includes the following steps: asking a question, do research, make a hypothesis, test your hypothesis by doing an experiment, analyze your data, draw a conclusion, and share your results. In this book, many scientists are mentioned. Some of the scientists mentioned are doing experiments on Henrietta’s cells. For example, George Gey and William Scherer did an experiment on Henrietta’s cells to test how they reacted to the polio virus (Skloot, Location 1553). They, like all other scientists, used the scientific method in order to do this.
They used charts, lists, pictures, data, predictions, and experiments to learn this information. This could be useful for many people who want to keep their plants
On day one no seeds germinated. By day two, seeds in the control group, 15% and 25% experimental groups had germinated. On day two the experimental group with 25% concentration of miracle gro’ had the most seeds
“Duckweed Recap” The duckweed lab was done to see the effects of road salt on the production of duckweed fronds. The purpose of this lab was to see if the salt concentration significantly affected the growth of the duckweed fronds. We had five different glass jar, one being a control with no salt in the water solution and four jars with different amounts of salt water concentrations and five ml of miracle grow in them. We started the experiment by putting four healthy and green duckweed plants with two fronds on each in every jar.
In 1971 Standford University held an experiment to see the psychological changes in people who are given higher authority and those who are not due to the way they act around one another. In this experiment a group of college students were split into two groups, one of which were to be prison guards and the others the prisoners. Throughout the course of the study psychologists were able to study the change in atmosphere and development of people from each group.
However, after investigation through gel electrophoresis, the three kinds of plants were not identical. This relates to the
In most cases of any scientific paper or academic works, the abstract will answer the most basic question like; why/project the study was done, what was done in the study/project and in if so how, what was found in the project/study as in results/observations, what these findings might mean, if there was any. [1] 3. The authors exposed seedlings to two different Carbon dioxide levels, soil temperature, and light conditions for one growing season. The two Carbon dioxide levels were 392 µ to a 784 µ , the two soil temperature was 17 and 22 degrees Celsius, and the two light conditions were 100% and 30% of the original 100%. 4.
Applying the idea of learning in plant systems certainly makes for fascinating future ideas and research. The mimosa pudica in itself is enough to stimulate new testing with its unique capabilities and
Based on these results, it is hypothesized that if the amount of topsoil increases by 25% then plant growth increases because topsoil contains essential nutrients required for proper plant
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.
1. If you were Monsanto’s CEO, how would you best balance the conflicting needs of the variety of stakeholder groups that Monsanto must successfully engage? Monsanto has improved in terms of its corporate responsibility; however it does not maintain the most ethical culture possible. Monsanto is in a difficult position, as it produces products that many people do not understand or trust. The corporation also does much business in very poor countries where it is very easy for critics to accuse Monsanto of taking advantage of people who do not know any better.
Introduction Plants are a major necessity in the balance of nature, people’s lives, and our terrain. We may not realize it, but plants are the ultimate source of food for almost 95% of the world population so says the National Group of Food. It’s a fact that over 7,000 species of plants are being consumed today. Plants are one of the reasons that we get clean water; as they help regulate the water cycle.
• Pollution: Pollution of air, water and soil require millions of years to recoup. Industry and motor vehicles exhaust are the number one pollutants. Heavy Metals, nitrates and plastic are toxins for pollution. While water pollution is caused by oil spill, acid rain, urban runoff; air pollution is caused by various gases and toxins
