In the BIO 14 Lab‚ the organismal system used for the last of three labs this semester is the Mimosa pudica plant. In these three weeks the stimulus-response of these plants will used to conduct experiments on the phenotypic plasticity of Mimosa pudica. Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to change its phenotypic traits in response to changes in the environment. And while very beneficial in some ways such as by allowing organisms to adapt to a changing environment quickly‚ it also

clinic in times of needs. In this situation‚ the researchers decided to find other alternative resources to treat such minor wounds and injuries. Since our school has plenty of herbal plants around‚ we have many options but we selected makahiya (mimosa pudica) and malunggay (moringa oleifera) and used rats as our subject. We measured 1 centimetre each tail of the rats and using a scalpel‚ we maim it. After that‚ we used makahiya extract to treat one of the rats and the other is treated with malunggay
