Does Fertliser Effected The Growth Of Tomato Plants

Decent Essays
The aim of the experiment was to find if Fertliser effected the growth of the Tomato plants. My prediction was that the fertilised plant will grow more then the plants that were water. The fertilied plants will grow more because the fertiliser has element that the water cant give the plants that make it grow. The elements that fertiliser has is nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This is why the fertilised plants grew so much.The experminent was used to investigate the difference between the growth of Tomato plants with fertiliser and with water. It aimed to test to see if one liquid made the Tomato plants grow more than the other liquid. The growth of the pants were recorded.Independent Variable: Half of the plants are fed with fertiliser

    Note that the four hormones have different concentrations. In order for this experiment to be valid, the amount of hormone exposed to each corn seed must be equivalent. It was decided that each hormone treatment would include a hormone paired with 6 mL of water. The control would be treated with 6 mL of water alone. For starters, it is important to convert the concentration of ABA into g/L.…

    Each lab table was responsible for growing a pea plant. Nine pea plants were planted in total. The pea plants were separated into three groups. The first group was without any auxin, the second group had 500 ppm of auxin, and the last group had 5,000 ppm of auxin. The growth of the pea plants were recorded and ranked using a Wilcoxon test to determine which peas showed significant growth.…

    The groups split into many smaller groups so that they could test the plants in many different sodium chloride concentrations. Each biology lab group spilt their class into six groups. The first group created a soil containing 6 percent sodium chloride, salt, by adding 15 milliliters of sodium chloride to one cup of soil. The next group took ¼ a cup of the six percent soil and mixed it with ¼ cup of plain soil making soil containing a three percent sodium chloride concentration. The group after that took ¼ cup of the three percent soil and mixed it with ¼ cup of plain soil making soil containing a 1.5 percent sodium chloride concentration.…

    Liver Lab By: Jonah Stillman Background Information: Catalase enzymes are inside of nearly every living organism that is exposed to oxygen. Some examples of catalase enzymes are bacteria, plants, and animals. The main job of a catalase enzyme is to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. When an enzyme is exposed to hydrogen peroxide or certain other chemicals it is prone to react. Catalase enzyme reactions also depend on the temperature they are exposed to.…

    For this experiment my hypothesis was correct. The control petri dish germinated nine out of ten radish seeds, and the acid rain petri dish germinated zero out of ten radish seeds. For the second experiment, I said in my hypothesis was that both sets of plants, that were given the acid rain solutions, would underperform compared to the control; and the set of plants given the acid rain solution with a pH of three would underperform the control, as well as, the set of plants given and acid rain solution with a pH of five. For this experiment my hypothesis was half correct. Group B, with the acid rain solution with a pH of three, underperformed both group C, with the acid rain solution with a pH of five, and group A, the control.…

    Next one person in the group measured out 40ml of CaCl2, CuSo4. This person also measured out the 80ml of fish water and the 2 grams of miracle growth. Following this step, we then put 20ml of each the CaCl2 and CuSo4 into 4 beakers. This allowed us to have to have more information on the effects they would cause. The fish water then was put into 4 beakers and with 20ml going to each one.…

    Pill Bugs: An experiment Introduction Pill bugs are very small and can be found anywhere. Under rocks, in between cracks, in your science class; they are everywhere! However, it is common knowledge that pill bugs do not like to be in open spaces. There are just too many dangerous possibilities, and they don’t need to take the risks. In this experiment, we tested to see if light affected the decisions of where pill bugs like to stay.…

    Osmosis Theory

    The hypothesis of this experiment was that the salinity of water would decrease plant growth due hypertonic solution and the results support the claim. Over the experiment time, plant 1 grew 0.5cm (2.38% increase) which was as expected as it didn’t have a high salinity. Plants 2, 3 and 4 all decreased in height, with plant 2 height decreasing by 1cm (5.26% decrease), plant 3 decreasing by 1.5cm(8.33% decrease) and plant 4 with a decreased height of 2cm(10% decrease). As you can see from the graph, plant 1 stayed in the same position while as the other plants decreased with plant 4 having the most significant decrease in height. Research supports the claim that salinity effects the plant growth significantly, this can be shown by the slow, stunted growth and how the leaves get darker in colour (Earthwiseharmony.com, 2015).…

    Radish Seed Experiment

    Abstract This experiment is about the effect of microwave radiation exposure on the percent that radish seeds germinate. The hypothesis in this experiment is if the radish seed is placed in the microwave for 8 minutes, then the percent of germinated seeds would be the lowest out of all the times. This experiment is important because if something happens and radish seeds are exposed to microwave radiation people would be able to know if the radishes would germinate if they knew the time they were exposed. This could also be used to find out if people could grow radishes in space because there is a lot of microwave radiation.…

    Addition of the Plasmid vs the Expression of the Added Plasmid Introduction The earliest example of genetic engineering was performed by Gregor Mendel in 1865, when Mendel performed artificial selection on a population of pea plants in the monastery where he lived (http://www.sciencegroup.org.uk/ifgene/history.htm). Once the technological advancements of the 20th century was introduced to the science field, genetic engineering took on a whole new light. Scientist could now transform organisms in ways that no one ever could. E. coli is the perfect test subject for this lab because, as stated by Pearson schools, “E. coli reproduce very rapidly; a single microscopic cell can divide to form a visible colony with millions of cells overnight. Like…

    However, when compared to container B it is slightly slower as the growth of the duckweed in B is much faster due to 10 more grams of fertilizer being added. In container C there is an initial large increase in speed due to the highest amount of fertiliser being added to it, however the growth decreases as time passes possibly as a result of the nutrients in the fertilizer being absorbed faster because there is more available or due to there being a larger initial growth of duckweed which absorbed the nutrients before more could grow. In container D the growth stayed constant as this was the control which allowed us to compare the growth of duckweed with added fertilizers as opposed to no fertilisers. Therefore, as this is parsimonious, it was shown that the speed of growth of D was not as fast as the growth of A, B or C which had added fertilisers. Declaration of authenticity We, Diyajal Ramraj, Jivarn Rahaman and Benjamin Eliason declare that this is our own unaided work.…
