My hypothesis for numbering of fruits was that Vita Lite was going to have more fruits by a good amount but the normal lighting did end up producing more druits maybe due to brighter conditions it was able to simulate. The vita lite seemed very dull. {draw:frame} Figure 5 explains the germination of the beginning of the expierment how well the seeds germinated. My Hypothesis was undecided because I knew for germination neither of the different lights were going to make a diffrence with the germination. Due to it only needs to be watered and get some nutrition.
This allows your body to pass starch through without turning it into glucose. Without starch, fat cannot be stored in the form of carbohydrates and less weight will be gained. This may sound too good to be true. Though carb-cutter does actually block amylase, there are many other factors that go into the breakdown of the carbohydrates. Students at the University of Georgia have taken it upon them to test this rumor and see if carb-cutter really stops the breakdown of starch to helps weight loss.
Then, we performed an f-test and a t-test to determine if there was any germination difference between the treatments. We hypothesized that ammonium nitrate would promote spore germination because past research on Botrychium dissectum revealed that the presence of ammonium on the medium had a positive effect on spore germination (Melan & Whittier 1990). However, in our experiment, the highest germination was observed on the media lacking ammonium nitrate. We calculated a spore germination mean value of 115.83 on the control group compared to 56.33 on the experimental group. We concluded that ammonium nitrate inhibits C. richardii spore germination.
Abstract Intraspecific and interspecific competition plays a major role in stabilizing environments. These mechanisms ensure that no species can go beyond its environments carrying capacity. The purpose of this lab is to determine the effects of density on biomass of plants and the effects of predators and abiotic factors in an environment. This will be tested with the spinach plant Spinacia vulgaris of varying densities in the same sized pots and with the use of P. aurelia, P. bursaria and P. caudatum divided into control and experimental groups. The results showed that the increasing of the density leads to a decrease in the biomass of plants and that the experimental groups are not much different than the control groups.
These plants do not live near the sea normally. Many plants cannot live in soil with high salt content. Salt is called an abiotic factor because it is a non-living factor. Salinity lowers their ability to absorb water and they die. We will experiment to see if beans can be grown in a soil with varying levels of salinity (salt).
April 30, 2011 Final Exam Assignment The company of Odwalla, Inc. should be held responsible in part for the overall outbreak of the E. coli bacterium in their fresh juice products. Some of the factors that contributed to the outbreak of the bacterium in the case were the producers of the apples used in the juices. Odwalla concluded that the FDA did not have any requirements for microbiological testing, and the microbial monitoring of the finished products and raw material used in the processing was inadequate. The batch of apples used to process the juice may have contained ground apples that may have been contaminated by cow or deer feces. I believe that Odwalla, Inc. is responsible in part and not in wholly because after the regulations and FDA testing at the Dinuba manufacturing plant was reported to had found no evidence of E. coli O157:H7 that was found in its products, the only source led to the growers and suppliers.
Wilson English 101 (Extra Credit) How to Grow an Avocado Tree: Have you ever eaten an avocado and wished you could do something with the enormous seed? Well, you can; with a little luck and a little skill, you can grow an attractive house plant from it. Caring for an avocado is not complicated, provided you follow a few simple rules. Wash the seed in tepid water, removing all the pulp. Suspend the seed with the broad end pointing down in a water-filled glass or jar by driving three toothpicks into the sides for support.
There are no warnings about taking Stevia while pregnant or breast-feeding; but it is advised to stay on the safe side and avoid use. Stevia might cause an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae family of plants. This family includes ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and many other plants. Reference Ogunjimi, A. (2011, May).
PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether magnets have an effect on the growth of radish seedlings. I became interested in the study of the effect magnets, when I discovered that magnets could make you heal faster. Later I decided that that it would be a better idea to study the effect of magnets on plants to keep it a safe experiment. The information gained from this experiment may be used to help gardeners growing radishes or other plants. HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that the stem of each plant will be attracted to the magnet.
Some of the knows health risks from GM are that in stores they do not have nutrition facts/ingredients for GM chemicals in the foods therefore people who have allergies to nuts est. would not be able to eat Gm food because of the chemical traits, by this I mean when scientists put genes into some crops the mixture causes the crops natural genes to be unpredictable and scientists can not analyze for harmful affects within the crops. This leads to unknown toxins and this may cause allergic reactions.
