simple breeding techniques. These Brassica rapa plants develop remarkably quickly, flowering between thirteen and eighteen days after being planted. These plants are relatively small but need a continuous amount of water and cool white fluorescent lighting. Students in the botany lab were told to conduct experiments and to conduct research using the Brassica rapa. The purpose of the experiment was to examine step by step the life cycle of the “Fast Plant” Brassica rapa. Other purposes for the…

response of a plant to touch or vibration) and how it utilizes the transport of K+ in the pulvinar cells (the thickening at the base of a leaflet that causes the movement of the leaflet based on differing turgor pressure in these cells). They tested many hypotheses regarding the seismonastic reaction in the Mimosa pudica, one of which tested whether there was an increased efflux of K+ from pulvinar cells during stimulation. The experimenters used all home-grown Mimosa pudica (sensitive…

Description: One of the most critically endangered big cats with only 35 left in the world. They have been critically endangered since 1996. If the amur leopard becomes fully extinct this will cause the ecosystem to become unstable. Reasons why they are critically endangered/threats include habitat loss. It is estimated that between 1970-1983, the Amur leopard lost an 80% of its territory. They will have nowhere else to go. deforestation cutting down trees, Poaching illegal trade, prey being…

All wood in growing trees contains a considerable amount of water which is commonly called sap. Water is contained in wood as either bound water or free water. The bound water is held within cell walls by bonding forces between water and cellulose molecules, while the free water is contained in the cell cavities and is not held by these forces. The amount of water in wood can be calculated and expressed as a percent of the dry weight is called the “Moisture Content” (MC). The hygroscopic nature…

Our planet is in the middle of the sixth mass extinction of mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and plants. We are currently experiencing the worst case of extinction than the dinosaurs which was 65 million years ago. Extinction may be a natural event but there has been a recent increase of species extinction from 1000 to 10,000 per year. This means in the future we may lose species every day [1]. Before extinction was caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruption and climate change but this…

MORAL DILEMMA Ant and Grasshopper Stephanie Gardner Should the ant give food to the grasshopper? Yes and no. Now I say both for a variety of different reasons. I have a feeling that the ant in this situation is not mean enough to just let the grasshopper go hungry. But is the grasshopper allowed to just get off without any punishment for not working hard? This is a classic argument of mercy verses justice. The ant can't show the grasshopper the mercy that he desires and at the same time have…

Rotavator Saeed Firouzi and Mohammadreza Alizadeh (2012) [1]: has performed field experiment to evaluate different weeding method for groundnut. The weeding method included two power tiller operated weeders Cultivator and Rotavator. Study was carried out at three different forward speeds of 1, 1.5 and 2km/hr. For all the factors Rotavator gave superior results than Cultivator. The maximum soil manipulation was achieved by Rotavator at lowest forward speed of 1km/hr. which leads to higher crop…
