Radish Seeds Lab Report
Radish Seed Lab Report
Problem: What caffeinated drink (monster, coffee, or green tea) will the radish seeds grow in the best form over a nine day period?
Hypothesis: If the radish seeds put in the dish with the drink Monster, then the seeds will grow faster because of the amount of energy given to them. The amount of caffeine in Coffee is much greater than the amount in green tea and Monster, but neither coffee nor green tea contains any extra type of an energy booster like the Monster does.
Design: This experiment has a manipulative variable of caffeinated drinks with the range set from the energy drink, Monster, regular Premium Dark Roast coffee, and finally unsweetened Green Tea. We set our control as something that the plant may usually

    In the lab with germinated and dry peas along with glass beads, determining the rate of respiration in each different type of seed was the goal. The hypothesis stated that since the germinated peas were still alive, they would contain a higher rate of respiration needed to remain healthy compared to the dried peas and glass beads.…

    The purpose of the experiment was to observe how density and competition among individuals of the same species and of different species affects the growth of leaves and survival of collards and radishes. The experiment was carried out in the Greenhouse at the University of South Carolina, and utilized set up with six groups with four pots per group. The pots consisted of low density radishes, low density collards, high density radishes, high density collards, low density radishes and collards together (mixed-species pots), and high density radishes and collards together. After six weeks of growing, biometrics were taken, and specifically…

    The experiment did not contain any form of reaction mechanism since no chemical identity had been changed. The lab demonstrates the use of chemical molecular behavior to isolate a particular set of molecules. Caffeine had already existed in the leaf itself but needed to be separated from the other chemicals. Caffeine’s chemical structure is relatively similar to the nucleic acid purine in that they use nitrogen and is bicyclic but lacks an alkene, amine and an amide. Caffeine has a solubility of 67.0 g/100 mL in boiling water but tannins also boil in hot water to form catechin. Catechin cannot react with water but it can with calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate was added into the reflux beforehand so the catechins can quickly change to form glucose and salts of gallic…

    Spinach Lab Report

    In this lab, a test was conducted to determine how the relative redox activity of chloroplasts from spinach leaves, which were performing photosynthesis, would change when in the presence or absence of light. To observe these changes in redox activity, the chloroplasts were exposed to DCPIP, a chemical that changes color according to such activity. By determining the redox activity of the chloroplasts, it could then be inferred which chloroplasts were photosynthesizing more actively than others. Redox activity, otherwise known as oxidation-reduction reactions, is the loss or gain of electrons. These two reactions, where electrons are lost through oxidation and gained as a result of reduction, are always coupled together.…

    Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to examine how low and high densities of radish and wheat seeds affect the plants growth rate and competition. The competition occurs when resources are limited to the plants. The two types of competitions that occur are interspecific and intraspecific. Interspecific is a competition between two different species and intraspecific is a competition between the plants own species.…

    In this experiment, the independent variables are the different types of beverages that will be used. The dependant variables (the variables influenced by the different beverages) is the running time (the time that the person will run in one lap), the amount of pushups done in one minute, how many sit-ups is completed by two minutes, and the number of jumping jacks that are done in thirty seconds. I believe that Gatorade will help your athletic performance the most, therefore the other drinks such as water, Arizona Tea, milk, Mott’s Apple Juice, and Coca-Cola is the control group. The controlled variables in the experiment (items that will stay the same) is…

    Seeds require moisture to germinate. By presoaking a seed, it strips of the protective layer of the seed and speeds up the rate of germination. But the longer someone presoaks a seed, the greater the chance it has to rot. When presoaking seeds, one should avoid planting them in dry ground due to the risk of the moisture being taken out of the seeds instead of sticking with it to germinate, leaving the seed back to its original state. purpose - There are many factors that affect germination, however this lab will determine how moisture, specifically presoaking seeds will affect germination.…
