The Wonders of Plants Experiment 2 – Upside Down Mungbeans Experiment 3 – Plant Labyrinth 6/18/2015 Mt Gravatt State High School Trinity Wong Abstract Introduction: Plants can’t move like animals do but they respond to certain stimuli‚ making them change the direction in which they grow. Plants are very sensitive to their environment and have evolved many forms of "tropisms" in order to ensure their survival. A tropism is a growth movement whose direction is determined by the direction

Growth of Plant under Different Colored Light Problem: Does the color of light affect the plant growth? Hypothesis: Red color will have the most impact on the plant growth‚ meanwhile; black will have the least impact on the plant growth Variables: • Dependent Variable is the color of light • Independent Variable is the type of plant used Materials/Apparatus: • Plants (of the same type) • Water • Ruler • Colored Construction Paper • Colored Transparent Print Paper • Lamp with Incandescent

The symbolism of the plant in A Raisin in the Sun One might ask how the scientific facts of the functional purpose of a plant would connect to a literary piece‚ especially the well-known play‚ A Raisin in the Sun‚ written by Lorraine Hansberry. The plant in the text symbolizes the foundation for the family‚ honest hope‚ and Mama’s dreams. Symbolism is not a definition of an item‚ but represents something specific other than itself. Much like Mama’s plant‚ it represents many meaningful ideas with

What affect does fertilizer have on the rate of growth in plants over a certain period of time? When tested‚ there is no affect on the growth of plants from a change of an environmental factor‚ such as an exposure to fertilizer. By changing the independent variable (whether or not the plant was planted with fertilizer)‚ you are testing to see how the dependent variable would change (the growth of plants). In order to assure that there is no experimental error‚ a control must be kept to produce the

Experimental Design Bio 1110 ! ! Background: Plants need water to survive. Water makes up 80-95% of the mass in plant tissues. Transpiration is the loss of water from plants in vapor form. 95% of the water is absorbed from the soil for transpiration and 5% is absorbed during photosynthesis for producing necessary carbohydrates for growth. The rate of transpiration is dependent on the amount of water in which is available within the plant‚ soil‚ and on sufficient energy to vaporize water

building of coal-fired power plant in Aborlan‚ Palawan has swiftly been a controversy. Environmental organizations and the residents of Aborlan have strongly opposed the said proposal. Why? What makes them oppose such power plant? But first of all‚ what is coal? Coal‚ which is the most abundant fossil fuel‚ is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock usually occurring in rock strata in layers or veins called coal beds or coal seams. Coal-fired power plant converts heat energy of combustion

The Effect of Watering on the Plant Growth 1. Problem/Question: Sarah observes the small garden in their house. She ask her mother why are the plants needed water but it has fertilized already. Their plants aren’t grow . So she decided to experiment on what is the effect of watering on plant growth. 2. Observation/Research: She water them every day‚ they have good soil‚ and they’re in the shade. 3. Formulate a Hypothesis: Sarah think plants will grow better if they’re in the sun

for both genotypes. However‚ seedling length and germination percentage was better in NM 19-19 as compared to Azri mung-2006. Elevated levels of protein were observed under metal stress in both genotypes. Heavy metals induced oxidative stress in plants‚ causing membrane injury as observed by enhanced level of malondialdehyde (MDA) contents. Increase in antioxidant enzymes activity was detected for guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) and catalase (CAT). However‚ ascorbate (APX) activity decreased under stress

of fertilizers on plant growth | | | Year 11 Biology Year 11 Biology Abstract An investigation was carried out to compare the effect between inorganic and organic fertilizers on plant growth. Tomato seedlings were used‚ which were divided into 3 groups - the inorganic fertilizer group‚ the organic fertilizer group and the control group. Besides using different fertilizers‚ all of the seedlings were planted in the same condition. The result has shown that the plants using organic fertilizer
