Too Much Water Affect How Many Plants Grow Essay

Superior Essays
Some plants don’t need water as a necessity to grow,while others need all the water and care they can get get to sprout.When working on the CGLA Community Garden PBL project,various groups learned that the amount of light exposure does in fact take away from the moisture levels.Also, that a plant not having enough moisture does impact the plant 's growth. According to Bodie V. Pennisi., a extension floriculture specialist (v.1), a lot of light time does affect your plant’s moisture levels.It can also,damage the roots and bulbs.When watering the plant make sure you don’t drown it.The light is the most important thing for a plant. Light is needed for plants to produce and survive.If plants get too much light they appear “off color”. Adequate light is crucial.Too much light exposure does affects the moisture in soil levels. Too much water in soil is detrimental to plant growth ( All Science Fair Projects v.1).Greater amount of water, will make the plant grow faster. But however, plants can die from not receiving any water at all.Many people have heard that more water can help plants,but only to a certain …show more content…
Every student should be able to pick a reasonable seed when planting.I think it should be a more spacious place where we plant our seeds. To me the seeds shouldn’t have be already germinated if the were going to grow that fast, so my suggestion would be to not germinate the seeds before we use them.Let the seeds be in the pack before we can even use them.I really think that was a let down, when the seeds had already starting growing before we even planted them. Overall, the project was success and nothing should be changed except the way our seeds came before we planted them.When going on you should think about how you can get every student involved instead of just STEM

    Roots are only used for staying still and not being able to move. Some plants have leaves floating on top of the water to expose themselves to sunlight and that creates chlorophyll which is only the upper part of the leaves that are waxy and repel water. Some plants create seeds that can float.…

    After looking at the final results, the number of leaves seemed to vary from one wavelength to another. However, it was clear that the growth rate under visible light was the greatest in comparison to the rest of the lights. Duckweed under visible light experienced an average of approximately 353% increase in the number of leaves from its initial value. However, other wavelengths experienced growth changes as well. Red light (wavelengths between 680nm and 720nm) experienced an average growth change of approximately 45%, which was the third best growth change in the experiment.…

    The greenhouse effect would cause the heat produced from the lamp to become trapped underneath the container with the plant. As more heat gets trapped and little heat escapes, the inside of the container gradually becomes warmer. The less volume the container is, the more heat is confined to a smaller area, causing the temperatures in the containers with less volume to become more heated than those with more volume. The plants underneath the smaller containers did better than the plants underneath the larger containers because the smaller containers had higher temperatures, which caused the plants to prosper; not because of the carbon dioxide…

    In order to properly grow, plants need certain macronutrients and micronutrients. They need the macronutrients: nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, sulfur, magnesium; and the micronutrients: boron, chlorine, manganese, iron, zinc, copper, molybdenum, and nickel. (3). Fertilizer enhances the growth rate of plants. Fertilizer adds nutrients and modifies the water retention and aeration of plants.…

    Oaks trees (Quercus species) have adaptations to withstand drought but the trade off of those adaptations is multiple long-term negative effects on photosynthesis. These adaptations help to tolerate harsh conditions, specifically in drought. In situations of long periods of drought it has been researched that oak trees lose their ability to effectively perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which sunlight is converted in to chemical energy. Plants make their own food by using energy from the sun to make glucose.…

    (Gaston, 2013, Pg. 915). However, It should be noted that not all instances of light pollution can cause negative effects. In some instances, ambient lighting has no impact whatsoever on an animal or plant, while in others it may prove to have positive impacts, such as increasing the time that an animal spends being active and increasing the chance it will find pray or a mate (Kyba, 2011, Pg.…

    Discussion The purpose of our experiment was to compare the rate of photosynthesis and respiration of Brassica rapa in ambient carbon dioxide concentrations, but grown in variable CO2 concentrations. The results we concurred from this experiment were the same as we had hypothesized, the variable growth conditions of the B. rapa plants had no significant difference on the rates of respiration and…

    This should increase transpiration since the extra light would increase evaporation. Our results were actually not significant compared to the control, so the rate of transpiration was unaffected by light. The rate of transpiration due to light is -0.1413 with a standard deviation of 0.018. This average was slower than the control, but not statistically significant due to the standard deviation overlap. This is different than the known literature.…
