The Role of Phytochrome in Lettuce Seed Germination Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the role of phytochrome in lettuce seed germination. In order to conduct this experiment three different types of Grand Rapids lettuce seeds were chosen: Waldmann‚ Concept‚ and Two Star. Each of these seeds were exposed to the following regulated courses of light exposure for ten minutes after they had imbibed for five minutes: Red‚ White‚ Far Red‚ and Darkness. It was hypothesized that the

in different concentrations on lima bean growth? Personal Engagement: For my internal assessment‚ I chose calcium because it interested me how adding a certain nutrient or element‚ can aid in growth of an organism. Calcium is a vital nutrient needed by most organisms and can be found in many things we consume like milk. Knowing that calcium helps keep humans healthy and have stronger bones‚ I wanted to experiment how calcium might aid in the growth of lima beans. Background Information: In plant growth

dependent variable was number of seeds that each solution was able to germinate. Some control variables were the amount of seeds given for each solution‚ amount of sunlight‚ and the amount of days allowed to grow. 3) The effect of pH on seed germination was an obvious pattern. The solution that had a pH closer to seven such as water (7) and coffee (7.5) germinated all five of their seeds. On the other hand‚ solutions like vinegar (3) and ammonia (11)‚ whose pH were nowhere near seven‚ grew little

Biology 101 1 November 2013 Cellular Respiration in Peas Part A: Abstract: This report examines Cellular Respiration and its functions as well as its function in germinating and non-germination peas. Cellular Respiration can best be described as a complicated string of chemical reactions. The complete Cellular respiration process begins with Glucose being oxidized‚ and the potential energy is transferred to the ATP molecule. The ATP molecule is now free to supply energy to the various

Throughout the novel‚ Kingsolver focuses on family as a major theme. Taylor ends up with Turtle‚ and together they form a family. When they move in with Lou Ann and her son‚ their family grows. Neither Taylor nor Lou Ann can afford much; by sharing expenses‚ they help each other survive difficult times. Lou Ann considers Taylor and Turtle family because they’d "been through hell and high water together" and because they know "each other’s good and bad sides‚ stuff nobody else knows." Taylor and Lou

Who or what was to blame for the outbreak of World War Two? There were a number of underlying causes for World War Two’s outbreak in 1939‚ as with any big war there are whole tapestries of inter-locking reasons why everything happened the way it did‚ thousands of threads that sew into tragedies and victories and lead onto other wars and devastations. Undeniably‚ World War One and World War Two are very closely linked and the fact that the First World War ended so messily and left Germany in such

Aim: Detection and estimation of heavy metal accumulation in chick pea cultivated on heavy metal contaminated soil. Significance: In this 21st century we are facing many environmental problems including pollution‚ global warming‚ etc. The everincreasing urge of urbanization and industrialization for economic growth have led to enviornmental pollution (Mireles et al. 2012). For instance‚ the smoke from chimneys affects the atmosphere‚ the untreated wastewater containing heavy metals when disposed

Viability of Lima Beans Introduction: Lima beans are edible flat whitish beans and are good to use for any experiment because they represent the human body in that they both go through all of the same processes of growth and development. This lab uses lima beans in order to determine whether they were viable or not. If a bean is viable‚ it means that it is alive: able to grow and develop. The two ways to find out whether a bean is viable or not‚ are a tetrazolium test and germination test. Tetrazolium
