about bean germination: * The time to germination will decrease if you soak the beans overnight * It may take 7-10 days for the beans to ‘sprout’ * Make sure the paper towels remain moist for the duration of your experiment | | | | | | | | | | Procedure 1. Think of 10-20 variables that may affect seed germination‚ recording them in Table 3. 2. From your list of variables in Table 3‚ select three to test. Form a hypothesis for why each affects seed germination. 1

was conducted to determine the effect of the allelopathic compounds of Encelia Farinosa (brittle bush) on desert native annuals and non-native seed germination. The experiment was set up by putting native wild flower seeds in six Petri dishes and lettuce seeds in six different dishes. To three of each dish containing the different seeds‚ water was added as a control. To the three other dishes‚ a prepared brittle bush tea (filtered ground brittle bush leaves and water) was added. After a week’s time

THE EFFECT OF SALINE ON BEAN GERMINATION AUTHOR: Erik Motyka Lab-partner: MWCC Biology I-109 Professor: Dr. Atryzek ABSTRACT: The response of Phaseolus vulgaris to increased levels of saline solution at germination and seedling growth was investigated. Seeds were germinated in paper towels placed in plastic Ziploc bags with varying concentrations of saline solution and incubated at 25°C. At the end of 14 days the seeds

INTRODUCTION A seed is a fertilized ovule that contains an embryo and transforms it into a new plant through the process of germination. Seeds remain inactive until conditions are right for germination. All seeds need water‚ oxygen‚ and proper temperature in order to germinate. However‚ some seeds require full light or darkness to germinate. According to Holm (1996) seeds have chemical inhibitors that prevent germination. A seed will not grow unless those inhibitors are destroyed by things like

Over the course of several weeks‚ myself and my fellow classmates have been researching and conducting an experiment that focuses on the effect of ascorbate peroxidase (a.p) as well as salt stress at different levels of concentrations on Abelmoschus esculentus (okra). Okra is a plant that is composed of 87.1% of water. In addition to being made mostly of water this highly nutritious vegetable is also composed of 0.2% of fat‚ 9.7% of carbohydrate‚ 2.2 % protein‚ 1.0 % fiber‚ and 0.8 % ash. Okra

an egg will float in salt water. The question is how much salt is needed to be added to the water to make the egg float. The problem is that no one knows how much salt is needed to make an egg float. Hypothesis It will take at least three teaspoons of salt to be added to the water for the egg to float. The reason why I think three teaspoons of salt will need to be added to water for the egg to float is because the egg a density that is lower than the density of the salt water.

Experiment 5: Percent Water in a Hydrated Salt Chemistry 1300 Instructor: 2/8/12 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the percent by mass in a hydrated salt‚ as well as to learn to handle laboratory apparatus without touching it. The hydrated salt‚ calcium carbonate‚ was heated with high temperature to release water molecules. Gravimetric analysis was used in this experiment to determine the percent by mass of water in a hydrated salt. The hypothesis of this experiment

Fresh water always freezes at 0℃‚ but that is not always so for water with salt inside. The higher amount of salt there is in the water‚ the more the freezing point decreases. So‚ salt water freezes later than freshwater. The exact measurement of how they impact each other is this: every 5 psu increase‚ the freezing point decreases by 28%.. In an ocean‚ there is frazil and brine. Frazil are ice crystals suspended in water‚ and they are made of nearly pure freshwater. Frazil is the first stages of
