The Results of Densities in Brassica Rapa
Introduction
Brassica Rapa is a a type of flower that comes from the mustard family. It is grown through the United States and Canada. Now
High density , Low-density. In either case, photosynthesis will be key. Photosynthesis is “The process in green plants and certain other organisms by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water using light as an energy source. Most forms of photosynthesis release oxygen as a byproduct” . The main job of photosynthesis is to convert CO2, H20, and light into sugar, or food, and oxygen. Now, to create these products, two processes have to occur: light reactions and the Calvin cycle. Light reactions occur in the thylakoid, C4 plants and C3 plants also exist.
Methods For the experiment, a Biology class was gathered at Oakland University for the summer term of …show more content…
For instance, one of the students that watered the plants could have over-poured or under-poured water for the plant and as a result, it could slow down its development. Moreover, the plants that were provided were genetically engineered by a professor at Oakland University. Therefore, the results that were gathered could not be related to normal Brassica Rapa plants. Now, although the genetic modifications may affect the outcome of the experiment, it showed results under a certain amount of time for a class in the university. It did provide students with quick results, but the reality is that it would be difficult to compare this experiment with other studies. Also, several other experiments may use natural sunlight which comes at specific times during the day, and therefore, the experiment created may not reach a level of authenticity; with the aid of 24/7 sunlight, it increases the plants’ growth, but the span of time is incomparable with other
