pollution emitted by human activities‚ such as factories‚ electrical power plants and automobiles. Two main pollutants are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)‚ which reacts with substances in the atmosphere‚ such as water and oxygen‚ to form acid rain. While rain water has a pH of 5.6‚ acid rain has a pH of 5 or less‚ which is acidic enough to harm plant life. Due to the reactivity of acid rain‚ the cell processes of plants are disrupted‚ and the cells die or become unable to function properly

I enjoyed doing the virtual lab. I treat water as an occupation so I understood how and what to add to treat the water. If you have a low (acidic) pH then you should add sodium hydroxide. If you have total coliforms‚ you should chlorinate before and after treatment. Often‚ we test houses for total coliforms and e. coli. If the bacteria is positive‚ then we chlorinate the well. After we make sure all the chlorine is throughout the house‚ we let it sit for 24 hours to disinfect the pipes and

Investigating the Effects of Plant growth within Abstract This experiment was conducted to determine whether or not those plants can grow in low fertilized‚ less sun light and the control group. Each group had there own task of making sure that the plants were always water‚ each plant had the same amount of light on them. When the plants started to evolve each individual plant was measured of the height. Most of the plants grew faster than others but over the period the plants that grew faster started

Virtual Lab: Optimizing Photosynthesis Maria Diaz March 12‚2012 Pre-Lab Questions 1. Which two variables are controlled in a similar manner? The two variables that can be controlled in a similar manner are CO2 & the light level. 2. How can you get the results to the investigation faster? You can get the results to the investigation faster by adjusting the speed at the bottom of the water weed simulation. 3. How will you be able to determine the rate of photosynthesis

Transpiration and Leaf Resistance By: Bernina Berber Introduction Transpiration is a part of the water cycle process‚ and it is the loss of water vapor from parts of the plants. It is a process similar to evaporation. Evaporation and diffusion cause the plant tissue to have negative water potential. If you were to compare transpiration it would be like saying it is close to sweating (but in plants)‚ especially in leaves but also in stems‚ flowers and roots. Stomata are dots with openings on

Biology 1st Group Lab Report Objective: - To study the transpiration rate of a plant (Gou Qi) by using the bubble photometer. Assumption: - The rate of transpiration is equal to the rate of water uptake of the plant(Gou Qi) . Theory: |Independent Variable |Dependent Variable |Controlled Variable | |The environmental conditions: | Rate of water uptake by transpiration of the |Time

the purpose was to have found out how different chemical solutions help or harm radish plant growth when the seeds of the radish plant are soaked in said solutions prior to planting. Background: The IRP project I am doing is based off the subject of seed germination. The seeds I will be planting are cherry belle radish seeds‚ freshly bought. Instead of planting the seeds in soil like it is normally done‚ the plant seeds will be placed on paper towels to grow for better observation of the roots‚ and

with temperature since transpiration is a cooling mechanism to release heat. More stomata open as temperature increases as this allows a faster transpiration rate. Although‚ at much higher temperatures‚ plants close stomata to prevent excess water loss. b. The increasing humidity causes reduced transpiration rates. This is because atmosphere is saturated with water vapor and so not much can be absorbed by the plant as humidity increases. At 100 percent humidity‚ the plant cannot absorb any more

Virtual Lab: Cell Cycle Lab (Onion Root Tip) In this virtual lab activity‚ you will be observing the cell cycle in the tip of an onion root. The root tip is responsible for the downward growth of the root and is one of the regions in the plant where cells are actively dividing and growing. Because of this‚ the root tip is an excellent system in which to observe the entire cell cycle‚ including the processes of nuclear division (mitosis) and cell division (cytokinesis). You will be submitting a
