This lab report is over the effects of acid rain on plant germination and growth. Testing was done to see the acid rain had an effect on the radish seed germination and growth of the radish plant. Radish plants, also known as raphanus sativus, a cultigen plants. This means that the radishes have become what they are now, due to selective breeding over the course of thousands of years. “Grown worldwide for its fleshy, edible taproot, radish is thought to have originated in the eastern…

Plants grow when watered. In fact, plants grow when watered because it gets water, sunlight, and nutrients also known as photosynthesis . In addition plants use a process called photosynthesis. During this process called photosynthesis plants trap light energy with their leaves. Equally important plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. They also grow when watered because the plants absorb nutrients dissolved in water. They absorb the water…

invasive non-native plant that threatens significant portions of Canada and the United States marsh, swamp, and coastal habitats. It has many common names such as spiked loosestrife or purple lythrum and its scientific name is Lythrum salicaria. By crowding native wetland species, purple loosestrife reduces biodiversity, eliminates food sources for marsh animals and changes water flow patterns. It can grow 1 – 8 feet tall with a width range between 3-6 feet. Numerous reddish-purple stems grow…

Bambara groundnut is believed to be autogamous and floral reproduction starts 30 to 35 days after sowing and may continue until the end of the plant’s life (Directorate Plant Production, 2009; Swanevelder, 1998). Flowers are normally carried in pairs on short peduncles by a pedicle which arises from the axis formed by the petioles and the stem (Doku, 1968). Flowers formed on the same peduncle do not open simultaneously, although they will open within a 24 hours interval. Delayed flower opening…

Plants are essential for life on earth; they are the backbone of all life. Plants are considered as autotrophic organisms, seeing as they are able to produce their own food. They are a crucial resource for many different uses, as plants are primary producers; everything we eat comes directly or indirectly from them (Schaffner, 2010). They provide a whole range of useful products, including food, fibres for cloth, and energy sources. Wood, coal and natural gas are all sourced from plants, these…

acid rain and water began to sprout roots, and all of the seeds in test two and three began to sprout. Seeds one, two, and three in the acid rain test one group’s roots began to curl on day four and the stem was just barely visible in seed one. The water seeds in test one, two and three the stem became visible. The acid rain roots are curled and the tap water roots are not. See appendix five for pictures of the tests daily. Between days five and six the seeds embryo grew and the roots became…

distribution is essential to plant growth. Both garden beds at the Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy need water, but different amounts. In our area, because of climate change, Chattanooga has a rainfall that alternates between flooding, normal, and drought situations. One way to address this issue of the climate-change conditions, is to use a raised bed, which would be conducive to sprinkler or irrigation system. Water is a major asset to the growth of plants.
