Abstract The purpose of this lab was to see if radiation has an effect on the cultivated radish seeds that we used. From the observed data that we collected‚ we were able to conclude that when seeds are exposed to radiation‚ it affects how they grow‚ if there is any growth at all. Introduction Radiation is an important environmental abiotic factor for plants‚ and one small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum‚ is called the Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)‚ provides

Aim: To investigate the effect of one environmental factor on the phenotype of pea plants Background Information: Pea seeds are available with identical genetic information for height - tall or dwarf peas. These seeds can be used to demonstrate the effect of the environment on the final height of the pea plants. Tall or dwarf peas can be grown in identical conditions where all variables are kept constant apart from one environmental factor. Any differences in the height of the pea plants will be

"To examine the effects of salinty on fenugreek seeds." INTRODUCTION Since the arrival and settlement of European farmers two hundred years ago‚ dryland and irrigated-land salinity have become problematic for the Australian environment‚ despite the fact much of our natural landscape is naturally saline. The response of plants to salinity has been explained as a two-phase growth response. The first phase of growth reduction is characterised by osmotic stress due to salts in the outside solution

six different branches and six different types of apples. The more common way to reproduce is sexual reproduction. In order for this to happen gametes must be produced and fertilized. Seeds‚ fruits‚ and embryos must also be developed. The two main advantages of reproducing this way are new genetic combinations and seeds spread over a large area. The following are the reproductive parts in this process. The first part is the flower‚ which has four types of modified leaves. The first one is the sepal

concentration of Miracle Gro was ideal for the germination of seeds. I hypothesized that the 1.25% concentration of Miracle Gro would allow the plant to grow the fastest‚ unfortunately‚ my data does not support my hypothesis. According to the information we collected‚ the amount of concentration with the fastest speed and greatest height of growth was the 0% with plain tap water (control group). Two days after “planting‚” my group measured the seed with the greatest rate of growth: 0% exhibited 2.5 cm of

grow more rapidly than a plant given the recommended amount of water. To prove my hypothesis I will use the following materials: • Bean and mielie seeds • Cotton wool • Tap water My preparation includes: • Putting one cotton wool ring on six separate saucers • Placing one bean and one mielie seed on each ring • Covering the seeds with another ring • Label three as A and three as B Group A got 10ml water as a start and from there on 4ml three times a day. Group B got 50ml water

shape and image are often used to depict the sun. It has a rough‚ hairy stem‚ broad‚ coarsely toothed‚ rough leaves and circular heads of flowers. The heads consist of many individual flowers which mature into seeds‚ often in the hundreds‚ on a receptacle base. From the Americas‚ sunflower seeds were brought to Europe in the 16th century‚ where‚ along with sunflower oil‚ they became a widespread cooking ingredient. Leaves of the sunflower can be used as cattle feed‚ while the stems contain a fibre which

added to the radish seeds effects the speed of growth during the six-week time frame of the study. The major variables with this study are proficient communications among the team‚ the seeds‚ soil‚ water concentration‚ fertilizer‚ light exposure‚ temperature of the room‚ consistency of following watering (watering the plant same time every day) and seed depth. All of these variables can affect the germination process in some sense but seed depth is the greatest‚ on the back of the seed packet it states

in class is to see whether or not competition between plants for water and sunlight will affect their growth. To do this we will set up two pots with soil in them‚ one will have a radish seed inside and the other will have a radish seed surrounded by crest seeds. The independent variable will be the amount of seeds in each pot and the dependent variable will be the height of each radish at the end of the experiment. The constant factors will be the amount of sunlight each pot receives; this will be
