Furthermore, the use of sage might be an unbelievable resource when executing long distant space travel in the near future, but first, we need to understand how plants grow in such extreme environments. Plant growth in space has been a very stimulating debate for many scientists for generations. Plants have the ability to develop morphological, anatomical, physiological and biochemical alterations in order to adapt to factors such as light intensity. Salvia officinalis can accurately regulate…
plastic pots and were exposed to ***** mM NaCl. Further, ***** days old plants were sprayed with sodium nitroprusside (SNP, **** μM) solutions. Plant growth indices, mineral uptake, membrane permeability, lipid peroxidation, H2O2 concentration, chlorophyll and carotenoid concentrations were analyzed. Results Salinity stress caused a highly significant decrease in growth parameters,…
Wheat grass is a very rich source variety of essential of nutrients. It contains most of the vitamins, variety of minerals and other nutrients. a) Vitamin A: It enhances the skin shine and provides glow to skin and makes it disease and infection free.

Unfavorable has a negative connotation, it conjures up thoughts of ‘bad” and “non-useful” processes, however as we have learned through the case studies of muscle contraction and photosynthesis, this is simply a misconception. For in the natural world a favorable or unfavorable reaction is not a single entity but is rather part of a coupled reaction that uses the two in tandem to continue the function of essential processes. This being said, and connotation aside, an unfavorable reaction is one…
related to some of these factors, particularly human influences. A wastewater affluent region in Oso Bay showed very high concentrations of Inorganic and organic nitrogen, phosphate, and carbon; it also showed a low concentration of dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, and a more acidic pH (Wtz, et al. 2015). Signatures of eutrophication…
DESERT Deserts may be extremely hot and humid. There are actually some animals manage to survive in the desert . The way some animals survive in the desert is some burrow underground to stay cool. Kangaroos lick their forearm to stay cool. Deserts may be extremely hot but they can support plant life and. Location Every continent has a desert except Europe. The world's largest desert is the Sahara and it can found in Africa. Asia has small deserts compared to the Sahara. Australia is…
Purpose To determine the specific types of pigments found in a rose leaf and rose petal by using isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) in paper chromatography. Scientific Explanation When leaves are mixed with isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) the alcohol draws out the leaf pigments and chemically change to a solvent. When the solvent is painted on the paper towel nothing happens but when a bit of alcohol is added it easily climbs up the paper towel. This happens because the alcohol molecules are “sticky” and…
compounds, such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which allows cells to conserve and use the energy released in metabolism. 3- Nitrtate is very mobile in the soil and moves with soil water to root surfaces for plant absorbtion. 4- Lack of N and chlorophyll means the palnt will not utilize sunlight as an energy source as an energy source to carry on essential functions such as nutrient uptake. 5- Nitrogen (N) is often the most limiting factor in crop production. Hence, application of fertilizer…
The alarm sounded, and I rubbed my eyes open. I sat up did a little stretch then flipped off my blanket and hopped out of bed. I was going to New York City that day, so I got dressed and headed out. It was mid-December but felt like late April which was strange but I didn’t mind. I had the picture of New York City in my head from when I lasted visited years ago. Bright lights, beautiful sky, and big buildings flooded my mind to create a perfect scenery. The picture I had envisioned was not what…

Different plants need different amounts of water. Along with that, some plants also need water more frequently. This writing is going to explain about how plants prefer one type of water over another. There are many chemicals added to tap water. The uses of these chemicals is to disintegrate any dirt in the…
