Caudatum grows at a very steady pace. Aurelia grows at a faster rate because it can feed on more than one type of food. 6. Describe what happened when the Paramecium populations were mixed in the same test tube. Do the results support the principle of competitive exclusion?
Buying local foods also has many advantages. Local food is always going to be fresher and taste better than food shipped
With the vast amount of crops that the Virginians would grow they constantly needed to expand their portions of land. Thus they moved westward into fresh, unsettled land where they could produce more crops. With the constant movement they would rarely mess with the deeds to the land. They also still followed the head right system after becoming a royal colony. But because Virginia had a better climate than Massachusetts they would grow more exotic crops.
Part one: Katherine wants to investigate if the time of day a plant is watered affects the growth of the plant. She hypothesizes that a plant watered in the morning will grow faster than a plant watered at other times of the day. 1. Identify the specific independent and dependent variables that will be involved in an experiment to test this hypothesis. Independent: time of day the plant is watered- dependent: how much the plant grows.
Abstract Inspecting Growth And Life Span For Alcea With Different Types Of Water This project could help gardeners by trying to find the right type of water that can make the Alcea grower taller and longer. It is hypothesized that the plant watered with the regular type of water will grow taller and longer than the sugar water or salt water. Three plants of the same kind were placed in a pot and were each watered a different kind of water. The data showed that the plant that was watered with regular water did indeed grow longer and taller. Based on the information found the hypothesis was correct because in the research it says that some plants do not grow well with water with salt or sugar added.
So I have drawn the conclusion that the caterpillars that are raised in the warmer conditions will also be healthier and probably larger than those in the cooler conditions due to the simple fact is that is what is embedded to their DNA to survive in the warmer climate. Cody Gibson ENT 110 Caterpillar Project – Methods METHODS To begin the experiment each student was given a thermometer, a ruler, and two Cabbage Looper Caterpillars in a plastic container with a food substance for them. In the experiment we are to place the two caterpillars in two separate locations within a room but at a place that one will grow and develop in a warmer temperature climate than the other. I started by labeling them Alpha and Bravo. Alpha would be the caterpillar that would grow in the colder climate while Bravo would be the specimen that would grow in the warmer of the two climates.
Scientific Method Assignment Scenario 2: Katherine wants to investigate if the time of day a plant is watered affects the growth of the plant. She hypothesizes that a plant watered in the morning will grow faster than a plant watered at other times of the day. 1.) Identify the specific independent and dependent variables that will be involved in an experiment to test this hypothesis. To test this hypothesis, she must include the times of the day as her independent variable and the plant as her dependent variable.
This map would be useful to answering the question because it would display the negative effects of the Green Revolution visually and let me accurately compare the different regions and see where the consequences were worse. Some people would agree that the Green Revolution expanded agricultural supply and immensely benefitted farmers and the society as a whole (Docs 1, 2, 4). The technological advances that came along with the revolution helped with the growth of food production as well as world population by allowing farmers to manufacture an abundance of food suitable for more people. Since 1950, the wheat yields of Mexico and India multiplied about 4 times as much as the Green Revolution progressed (Doc 1). Because the Food and Agriculture Organization were the ones who
First of all, during the Industrial Revolution, there were a lot of positive effects on the society which made peoples’ lives easier and a better place to live. There were a lot of changes especially on agriculture, transportation, manufacturing, and technology. Before the Industrial Revolution, majority of people had to work on land to produce food for their living, or everyone would starve. However, as the Industrial Revolution started to take place, new farm technologies were invented which led to an increase in food supply, which in turn led to an ongoing population. In addition, the population increase provided many people in the factories with machinery which was much more easier to work.
Genetic engineering can be very beneficial to human society, and is defined as when selected genes from one species are inserted into the DNA of another living organism. Genetic engineering allows for an increase in time efficiency because the farmer does not need to spray the potatoes with any insecticide or pesticide. It also lowers the amount of crops lost to pests and diseases. Pollan looks at genetic engineering as, “…It allows a larger portion of human culture and intelligence to be incorporated into the plants themselves” (198) and he comes to the conclusion that his “NewLeafs are just plain smarter than the rest of my [his] potatoes” (198). Pollan goes on to explain that with the NewLeaf potatoes, a gene is taken from the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis and this gene allows the NewLeaf to produce its own pesticide/toxins.
