Abstract The investigation was conducted see the effects of salinity on pant life more closely, with series of plants watered with different percentages of salt water. To determine how different salinity levels effect the plants growth, and also observe the other effects, if any, that may occur to the plant. The experiment was set up and each plant was watered with different levels of salinity, and measurements of the height and number of leaves was taken twice a week. The results concluded that…

Introduction As the threats of climate change have increased, so has research on alternative energy. Alternative energy differs from classic fuel sources (i.e. coal, shale, natural gas) because it uses natural resources that has the ability to be consistently replaced; thus it is also termed “renewable energy.” “Biofuels” are a specific class of renewable energy that refers to biomass (versus other natural resources like sunlight) or harvested metabolites from living organisms that can be…

Introduction: - Mitochondria is a double membrane organelle that is found in all eukaryotic organism. There are some evidences that proves that some of the eukaryotic organism lack this organelle but there is no true evidence which says that this specific organism completely lacks mitochondria. Mitochondria is also known as a power house of the living body cell. It stores energies in the cell and releases when its needed. Every organelle in Mitochondria have their own specific roles which helps…

Mackenzie Warfield Bio Lab 100 Section 2 Experiment Rough Draft Does Hydrogen Peroxide Help or Harm Seeds? Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a common household item. It is made of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. It is most commonly used in small concentrations to clean small cuts and scrapes by killing bacteria. This antiseptic kills the bacteria by tearing down their cell walls. In the last few years, hydrogen peroxide has been added to pesticides. This means that the food we consume has…

Textbook Reference: 6.4 What Are the Active Processes of Membrane Transport? Page: 120 5. Barrier formation is only one function of the cell membrane. Describe some other functions of the membrane and discuss how the membrane is suited for those functions. Answer: Membranes function in processing energy transformation and in the organization of chemical reactions. Integral and peripheral proteins contribute to these functions. The membrane serves as a holding site for the catalytic enzymes…
