It has smooth light gray bark, that you can run your hand along without getting a scratch. The leaves are dark green and simple, and turn a golden yellow during the…

Sagitaria Sagittifolia is a flowering wetland perennial that has arrow shaped leaves. Sagitaria grows tall and sprouts tall leaves, however it blooms into a beautiful flower during parts of the year. This plant grows throughout Europe and Asia but you can also find it in the pages of Susan Collins book “The Hunger Games”, where it is more commonly referred to as Katniss. This strange plant is the basis of the main characters name, Katniss Everdeen, who has a taste for the bow and arrow. These…

weight of a seed affect how fast a plant grows? A seed is “the fertilized, matured ovule of a flowering plant, containing an embryo or rudimentary plant.” (Dictionary.com) Seeds go through a process, called germination, to grow. The seed first has its roots break out and grab hold of the soil. After the roots have a hold of the soil a small plant will sprout from the ground. All plants go through the germination process. (How do Seeds Sprout?) The hypothesis is: If the weight of a seed affects…

Biol-181 L Ms. Kringel 4/7/17 Introduction Gibberellic acid is a hormone that is found in plants, that not only controls the plant’s growth and development, but also germination of seeds, lengthening of the internode of the stem, expansion of leaves, floral initiation, and the development of flowers and fruit. It is composed of C19H22O6. Plants are known to only produce a small amount of this particular type of hormone. My…

Germination of a seed begins when it is provided water and is in the appropriate conditions. Seeds imbibe the water and the enzymes hydrate, the hydrated enzymes increase metabolic activity to produce energy for the growth process. The root is the first thing to break from the seed and this is when the sed can be officially considered germinated. The environment is what triggers the germination of the seed. How does increasing the salinity of the substrate effect the germination rate of radish…

labelled with the name of the group, the name of the seed species (either Rocket Salad or Ferocactus histrix and the GA concentration with 2 bags per concentration. 2 pieces of paper towel were placed inside each bag. 10 seeds that were appropriate to the label of the bag were spread in between the two paper towels. Each towel was wet with 3 mL of GA solution appropriate to the label on the bag. A pipette was used to prevent contaminating the seeds and to prevent from touching the GA solution.…

Introduction The Effects of Oiled Wisconsin Fast Plants Seeds on the Rate of Germination In this lab report, I will discuss the relationship between oil and the rate of germination of seeds. My Null hypothesis states that oil will not effect the rate of germination of Wisconsin Fast Plant seeds. The purpose of this experiment is to test the Null hypothesis. The symptoms caused by the contamination with oil are countless and generally not specific. The same substance can induce different effects…

False Brome Invasive Activity in Oak Creek Watershed Introduction The intent of this document is to observe and characterize the activity of Brachypodium Sylvaticum (False Brome) as a noxious weed at Oak Creek watershed near Corvallis, Oregon. False Brome is a slender, drooping bladed, perennial bunch grass that is native to Europe and North Africa. It was first introduced to Oregon in the 1930’s and by some estimates, it has spread over 10,000 acres in Oregon—specifically in Western Oregon:…
