Plants gain a lot of nutrients in their daily lives. They get it mostly from water and also the soil. Water is a molecule made up of the following atoms, Hydrogen and Oxygen. In this molecule the electrons are not shared equally between these atoms. Electrons are negatively charged so if they spend more time around an atom the atom becomes negative. The electrons turn Oxygen negative because they spend more time together. The reason for the electrons to be around Oxygen is because Oxygen has…

Plants require certain substances that are necessary for their survival. These requirements are carbon dioxide, water and mineral nutrients. Mineral nutrients are essential chemical element that are critical for plants to sustain life function and complete their life cycle (Uchida, 2000). These nutrients are classified into two groups micro a macro nutrients. Micronutrients are elements are used in very small amount these include boron, chlorine, cooper, iron, manganese and zinc. While…

conducted an experiment to find out the effects of sodium chloride on the plants that are not naturally grown in salty soils. Wisconsin Fast Plants, which are naturally grown in low to no sodium chloride concentrated soils, were planted and grown in several different salt concentrations to discover whether the plants grew better or worse in given soil concentrations. After multiple measurements, the results came back that the plants do not do well in concentrations greater than one percent salt…

Imhoff, Joseph. "Adopt-a-Tree." Plant a Wish. N.p., 09 Apr. 2014. Web. 20 Mar. 2017 According to Imhoff Joseph, there are many benefits of planting native plants and trees, such that increasing the diverse species, especially insects and the native animal. In addition, those plants and trees also improve the soil and landscape even more appropriate to the environment, therefore, when the landscape is strong and appropriate enough, it will make the water flow properly, which will reduce the…

soil is a major source and natural medium for plant growth which has a direct impact on yield and quality of crops growing on it. 2.1.1 Nutrients in soil Most plants raise by absorbing nutrients from the soil. Soil is a major source of nutrients needed by plants for growth and development. There are two main classification of nutrients in the soil; Macronutrients and Micronutrients. Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O) are also essential for plant growth, but not considered as soil…

three basil plants that will be watered differently, how much water will a basil plant need daily to stay healthy if I pour a quarter of a pitcher in plant A, a half pitcher in plant B, and one pitcher in plant C? Hypothesis: My assumption is that plant B will be the healthiest because it seems that plant A will have an insufficient amount of water, and plant C will have too much water, making the basil plant too turgid, resulting into temporary to permanent wilting, leading to plant B having…

Question: Do Snow Green pea plants grow faster in a mixture of 25% potting soil and 75% compost, in 50% potting soil and 50% compost, or in 75% potting soil and 25% compost? Hypothesis: If Snow Green pea plants are grown, starting from seeds in three different ratios of soil to compost (25% potting soil and 75% compost, in 50% potting soil and 50% compost, and in 75% potting soil and 25% compost) then the peas that were in the 75% potting soil and 25% compost soil will grow the fastest.…

about a total of 13 weeks for the Brassica Rapa Plants to complete their full life cycle (Figure 4). To begin, F1 Wisconsin Brassica Rapa fast plant hybrid generation seeds made from a cross between a homozygous purple pigmented plant and a homozygous green pigmented plant are planted in soil. This process required obtaining a six-celled tray filled with 75% soil. Within that soil contained one MiraceGro All Purpose Plant Food fertilizer. The Fast Plant seeds…

diversity and abundance of birds and native plants that can no longer survive in the new environment. This is troubling as birds perform certain ecosystem services, services humans can benefit from, such as pollination, consumption of pests and bring aesthetic value. Native plants provide a valuable food source to wildlife and help prevent soil erosion. In this study, we aim to determine if there is a correlation between urbanization and bird and plant diversity, and if…

Plants are just like animals in which they need food and nutrients in order for them to maintain healthy in order to survive. Plants search for food and nutrients below ground and sometimes even above ground. The daughter plant is a plant I learned about that has seventy two hours to find food and nutrients before it end up dying. This vine like structure feeds off of other plants by finding the perfect plant to take the nutrients out of it to maintain alive. The plant grows in circles very…
