THE EFFECTS OF MOUTHWASH ON PEA SEEDS GERMINATION ANITA ASARE PERIOD 1 MR. SORANNO ANITA ASARE PERIOD 1 MR. SORANNO Purpose: The purpose of the pea seeds germination lab is to determine whether pea seeds will sprout with the absence of a complete water solution and replaced by Listerine Mouthwash. Water is the most basic and useful‚ natural resources for all living things. Water is extremely responsible for carrying all life functions within

Effect of pH on Green Pea Germination Objective: To determine how pH affects the germination of green peas and to examine the degree of germination within each pH level. We will do this by using various buffer solutions (along with distilled water) to grow green peas. Hypothesis: We expected that the group of peas that encountered a pH of 7 to have the most and highest degree of germination. Materials: tap water buffer solutions pH 3‚5‚ 7‚ 9‚11 distilled

Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and Pea (Pisum Sativum) Temperature Germination Experiment Abstract: This experiment had the purpose of testing temperature for bean and pea seed germination. 100 beans were taken and split into four groups of 25. Each Group of 25 beans was folded inside a damp paper towel. Two of the damp paper towels‚ with the beans inside‚ were put in a plastic bag and then moved to a warm place and the other two paper towels were put in a plastic bag and then moved to a cold room

EFFECTS OF NITROGEN FIXING PEA PLANTS (Pisum sativum) ON GROWTH OF CORN (Zea mays) Introduction Interactions among plant species‚ particularly negative ones‚ have been a concern in agriculture (Levene 1926‚ Russell 1961). Novoa (1981) suggested that it would be advantageous to rotate certain crops by season‚ grow certain crops together‚ or avoid growing certain crops on the same land. Observations indicated that some crops require specific types of nutrients in contrast to other crop

normal rain. Acid rain has a PH level of about 5.0 compared to that of pure water’s 7.0. Acid rain is caused uniquely by human from such harmful wastes as the burning of fossil fuels. This type of rain is carried throughout the atmosphere‚ for hundreds of miles‚ harming countryside. The real question is whether or not Acid rain effects the growth or germination of plants. In this experiment we are testing if acid rain effects the growth or germination of common pea seeds. The independent variable

IRP 3: Germination Introduction: Germination is the process of which a plant of fungus emerges from its seed or spore. Germination involves activating the seed’s metabolism‚ which is done through numerous stages. The fist stage involves the rehydrating the cell by absorbing water. This allows the cell to become metabolically active. After water absorption‚ gibberellin is produced in the cotyledon of the seed. The enzyme gibberellin stimulates the production of amylase‚ which catalyzes the

Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. However the growth of a sporeling from a spore‚ for example the growth of hyphae from fungal spores‚ is also germination. In a more general sense‚ germination can be simply anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ‚ a method that is commonly used by many seed germination projects. Seed germination

This experiment shows the effects of changing the pH level has on Catalase. As predicted‚ the farther away the pH levels got from the optimum pH (7.2)‚ the lower the reaction rate. At a pH of 7.2‚ the foam of the reaction measures 6cm. At a ph of 3 it measures 2.5 cm‚ at a pH of 5 it measures 2.75 cm‚ at ph 9 it measures 2.3 and at 11cm it measures 2cm. pH measures the hydrogen ion concentration of a substrate. By changing the pH of the catalase‚ the enzyme was denatured. Denaturing is the result

Armadillium vulgare taxis response to different pH levels. Abstract The terrestrial isopod‚ Armadillium vulgare is commonly referred to as a slater or pill bug. Since transitioning from the sea to land and originally colonizing in Mediterranean regions‚ it has adapted throughout evolution to inhabit local microhabitats. The pill bug is bound by several parameters and also has specific requirements that need to be met for optimal biological functioning. As such‚ behavioural and physiological

The effects of pH on mung beans Gloria Cheng Winsy Cheung Lily Wong Christine Yen January 15‚ 1998 Abstract This experiment explores how different pH environments affect the growth of mung beans. The mung beans were grown in water with various pH levels‚ consisted of pH levels 5‚ 6‚ 7‚ 8‚ and 9. A replicated design was used consisting of 3 runs for each pH level. The following results are listed in order of pH levels allowing most growth to least growth of the mung beans: 7‚ 8‚ 6‚ 5‚ and 9. These
