The Effects of Sodium Chloride on the Growth of Brassica Rapa
Introduction
The world has some wonderful species which can be so useful for our society in many domains such as nutrition and health. Brassica rapa is one of them. That species is a very good and easy species to study because it grows very fast. The purpose of this research is to figure out the impact of salt (sodium chloride) on the Brassica rapa development (growth). According to higher bitesize.com, growth can be defined as irreversible increase in the dry mass and height of an organism. . We will measure our plant growth base on this definition. We will measure each plant from leaves to roots. Many factors can affect growth, such as temperature, nutriments availability, pH

    The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to create a clear aqueous fertilizer that had a pH range of 6.0-7.0 with first three solid compounds the first day and then four solid compounds the second day. To complete this experiment, make calculations to find how much of each compound is needed in grams, use an analytical balance to measure out compounds accurately, mix the compounds in DI water until they are dissolved, test pH levels, effectively add acids or bases depending on pH level, and administrate EDTA when a precipitate has formed. When only components that include 0.06g Nitrogen, 0.0497g Phosphorous, and 0.0399g Potassium are combined, on the first day of the experiment, a very basic solution with a pH level of 13.0 formed. The addition of 18 droplets of hydrochloric acid lowered the pH level to 6.0. When combining components…

    Green plants are multicellular, autotrophic eukaryotes. They use their roots to absorb nutrients and water from the soil. “Fast Plants are a type of crucifer (a large group of plants that includes mustard, radish, cabbage, and more) that have been bred and selected to have a uniform, short flowering time (14 days) and grow well under in a small indoor space, with little soil, under artificial lights”(The Story of Fast Plants). Wisconsin fast plant are plants that grow at a very high speed rate. Their scientific name is Brassica rapa.…

    Plants get mass from the air, specifically carbon dioxide. The results from both VonHelmont's experiment and the radish seed experiment support this idea. In VonHelmont’s experiment, the plant gained 164 pounds in 5 years while the soil only lost 2 ounces in weight. These results reveal that a plant does not receive its mass from soil. The roots of the plant absorbed water from the soil in order to photosynthesize causing the soil to lose 2 ounces overtime.…

    My data supports my hypothesis because the water that is used as a growth solution, with an acidic concentration did not experience any growth. The average of the growth of all of the plants that were given vinegar and water, as a growth solution was zero cm. However, the average of the growth of all of the plants that were given just plain water, without any concentration of acid, received around 1.44 cm of growth, from the top of the soil in the pot of soil, to the top of the average height of the plant. The difference between the averages of the plants given vinegar, and the plants that were not given vinegar was 1.44 cm, the growth of the neutral-watered plants was drastically higher than that of the acidic-watered…

Which leaves only 1% safe water and out of that, 70% is used for irrigation, 22% for industry and 0.8% for domestic use that consists of basic tasks like sanitation, drinking etc (Heimbuch,2010). This issue is known as water scarcity it is the lack of sufficient water for daily needs, without water the humankind will die off eventually it is extremely important for survival. According to recent estimates from the International Water Clean “potable water is an essential ingredient of a healthy human life, but 1.2 billion people lack access…
