Plant Growth Lab

Introduction For plants to carry out photosynthesis, they need carbon dioxide, light, and water. We are going to investigate how sunlight affects plant growth of radishes from the seed stage to plant stage.

Methods
1. You place ten seeds in each of the two separate plant containers.
2. The amount of soil, water, and temperature remain constant throughout the experiment.
3. The control group will have no sunlight and the experimental group will have sunlight.
4. Measure each plant on a weekly basis for 3 weeks (the first week should have no growth since the experiment is just starting).
5. At the end of the experiment create a chart in excel that shows average growth compared to treatment (sunlight versus no sunlight)

Ectothermic Metabolism Essay

INTRODUCTION Plant allelopathy is all around us; however a lot of people don’t know what it is. Allelopathy in a nut shell is chemical warfare between plants. Plants do this by creating chemicals that inhibit the germination and growth of neighboring plants. In a discussion with my Professor before the lab he talked about how we can notice and spot when a plants is allelopathic. In last week’s lab all the groups exposed seeds to two different types of plants, in order to determine if the plants are allelopathic…

Plant and a. Fatua Essay

Bay Biology 3110 Lab 1A Professor Thomas Gabel April 11, 2015 Introduction A plants’ density is the amount of space that remains between plants in a given area. Such density influences the growth and yield of the individual plants involved. The effects of density may also vary when one or more species are planted together or by themselves. When two plant species are grown together and are competing for the same resources this is known as interspecific competition. When a plant species is grown by…

Phaseous Vulgaris Plant Essay

study the growth and germination of the plant species in different salinities of water. Research question: What is the effect of different salinity levels in the soil going to have on the growth and germination of the seeds of the Phaseous Vulgaris plant? Background information The purpose of me choosing this experiment in finding the effect of salinity levels on the growth and germination of seeds is because this has been my biggest interest since the start of studying about plants. I always…

PLANT LAB Essay

Sychowski 1 Danielle Sychowski #28 03/05/2015 Artificial Selection Lab Purpose: This lab was intended to show the process of artificial selection by choosing the tallest plants in generation 1 and crossbreeding them to whether or not tall plants would be produced in generation 2. Hypothesis: If, after 16 days, the tallest 25th percentile of plants from generation 1 are crossbred, then the plants in generation 2 will have a taller average height after 16 days since the genes for…

American Waterweed Experiment

Introduction Sunlight is the one of the most important contributions to life and growth on earth. All living things on earth require sunlight in order to receive the proper nutrients and vitamins in order to properly grow. For example, Plants use sunlight to perform a process known as Photosynthesis ( 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2.), during this process plants use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Without sunlight, most life on earth will suffer tremendously…

Brassica Rapa Essay

Foundations of Biology 2 Laboratory Thursday 2:30 PM Professor Cheek April 21, 2011 ABSTRACT The Brassica rapa is a rapid growing plant that has a standard form and a mutant rosette form. Relative to normal plants, the rosette form is shorter and takes longer to flower. The mode of inheritance of the rosette gene was tested by crossing two true-breeding plants, one of each form. The F1 generation was then cross-pollinated to produce an F2 generation. The phenotypes of each generation were recorded…
