How will acid rain affect the growth of seed development of Brassica rapa (mustard plant)? If we pour acid rain on a plant then it won’t grow and there will be the same amount of seeds because the acid poisons the plant and kills it. Based off of the results I recieved after doing the experiment, my hypothesis rejects the data and is the complete opposite. I made this hypothesis based off of all the harsh effects that acid has on things, but in this case I was proved wrong.
During this experiment we had record the heights each day to track to rate they were growing at. Once the 11 days were over, we had to find the average for each day and make a separate table. The average for day one was 1.88cm, day two 2.43cm, day three 3.25cm, day four 3.88 cm, day five 3.63cm, day six 5.75, day seven 6.63, day eight 7.5, day nine 7.88, day ten 9.25, and day eleven 18.83cm. In addition the averages for the experimental plant on day one was 1.18cm, day two 3.25cm, day three 3.5cm, day four 4.3cm, day five 4.75cm, day six 5.25cm, day seven 8.63cm, day eight 9.25cm, day nine 12.25cm, day ten 12.25cm, and day eleven 18.83cm. For the average number of seeds collected at the end of the lab, the average number for the controlled was 6 seeds and the experimental was 8 seeds. The resulted in this data because given to what I know about biology, I think the pH was too high to effect the growth rates and number of seeds. Due to the fact that they received a lot of water, the …show more content…
This could have messed up our lab because the weaker ones will have a harder time developing and growing faster than the others. Another error could have been that we were over watering the controlled plants because they were watered three times a day and placed on a watering system. Over watering is bad for the plant because it fills the plant and doesn’t allow enough oxygen to get
