Abstract
Plants need sunlight and water to grow. For this project I will be using two plants that are as identical as possible (both barely starting to grow), sunlight, and a UV light. I will find out whether UV light affects plant growth or not.
Background
We may all know by now that plants need sunlight and water to grow. But that’s not it! There’s more to it. Plants also need nutrients in fertilizers, a certain temperature, and air. Plants are living organisms that eat, grow, and reproduce. We know that most plants need some type of energy

    In this lab experiment the effects of plant growth and the pattern of plant growth in a lima bean plant had been eye opening. Using different liquids had a different outcome on each plant. the different types of nutrients and PH level in each liquid played various roles in the development and growth of each plant. the plant that had been exposed to sprite and milk showed a effective growth and decay starting from day 5. An incredible 3.2 cms was the growth for the plant which was exposed to pond water and on day 5 the plant that was exposed to the liquid of naturel 2% milk showed a decrease of .2 cms.

    Then, ultimately, plants get their energy from the sun. This means that any energy that humans have come from the sun in one way or another. This is how Crosby got his name for the book Children of the Sun. The main point of this book is to explain the history of the prime movers and how they turned into new ways of obtaining energy. According to Crosby “ physicist have paired the concept[of prime movers] down to mean any machine (using that word broadly) that converts natural energy into work.

    Indoor farmers understand the importance of light. The survival of a plant depends on light; without it, a plant cannot mature into its full-grown state or cannot offer the flowers and fruits it typically provides. Typical indoor farmers utilize LED lights over fluorescent bulbs in order to furnish their plants with the necessary nutrients they need to grow. However, LED lights have a large benefit over their fluorescent bulb alternatives because of the technology seen in LEDs and the light made within an LED chip.

  • Biology: Photosynthesis And Respiration

    593 Words  | 3 Pages

    All organisms use food molecules, like glucose to produce ATP. The production of ATP occurs during cellular respiration. ATP provides the cells with energy that is necessary to produce oxygen. The seeds/plants are autotrophic organisms, which produce their food from the energy that the light provides them. To release the stored energy within the food molecules, the germinated seeds carry out respiration and the release of carbon dioxide.

    One of the focuses of this semester was the ability to identify biological processes that require energy and explain why they require energy. In the work I completed I demonstrated being able to accomplish this. This occurred in several different projects, including the cellular respiration lab involving the respiration rate of germinating seeds, the potato core lab and the photosynthesis lab. In these labs, we were able to identify the biological processes that required energy for the different processes to take place to allow germination to occur.

  • Chloroplast Research Paper

    The chloroplast is another organelle that is used by the cell to convert and make energy. By absorbing energy from the sun and using the energy in addition to water and carbon dioxide in a process called photosynthesis, to make sugar and release oxygen, chloroplasts can convert sunlight into usable chemical energy for the cell. Chloroplasts are only found in photoautotrophs, which are primary producers such as, photosynthetic algae and plant cells. All of the other organisms that are consumers depend on photoautotrophs or on organisms that get their energy from producers. Animal cells do not have or need chloroplasts.

  • How Does Acid Rain Affect Plant Growth

    1186 Words  | 5 Pages

    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.

    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.
