tests the process of germination with various pH levels. The pH level of something is its measure of acidity or how basic it is‚ solutions with a pH of less than 7 are said to be acidic‚ and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are said to be basic. The tap water that was used to water our beans had a pH of 6. In this lab‚ we studied the process of germination (the process by which a plant grows from a seed). Certain environmental factors can cause or stop a seed’s germination‚ and these factors include

Effects of water pollution. The water pollution is very harmful to humans‚ animals and water life. The effects can be catastrophic‚ depending on the kind of chemicals‚ concentrations of the pollutants and where there are polluted. Below‚ we shall see a summary of the effects of water pollution. The effects of water pollution are varied and depend on what chemicals are dumped and in what locations. Many water bodies near urban areas (cities and towns) are highly polluted. This is the result

Bioassay of Radish Seeds Bioassay is a type of scientific experiment used in the development of new drugs and monitoring pollutants. It estimates the potency of a substance‚ by testing its effect on living matter. In other words‚ it determines how much of the substance is needed to poison an individual‚ without testing it on any humans or animals. From here the TC50 of the substance can be adjusted for dealing with humans and animals over plants. In this lab we attempted to find the potency of
