Plant

For my biology project I chose to plant a Palo verde tree. I decided to plant my tree in the front yard of my house. It is near a few cacti and some other trees. I put some black fencing around the tree to protect it from any wild animals, such as the jackrabbits that like to roam in my yard. I watered my tree every day for the past two months. I checked for the growth of it twice, and in total it grew about an inch. Trees are a necessity in this environment. Trees provide oxygen and help…

How does cyanide affect plant growth by Ethan G. and Gabe M. This project is to help determine the effects of cyanide being planted with the seed of a plant. Some seeds naturally have cyanide in them such as apple seeds, peach pits, and apricots. So what happens if a lima bean is planted with a minute dose of cyanide when compared to one without? Cyanide is found in the seeds of many common fruits, cigarette smoke, and combustion products like plastic. It gets used to make paper, textiles,…

There are several different types of plant hormones some of which inhibit or promote growth in the plant. There are also synthetic varieties of these plant hormones, specifically the plant hormone auxin which has many different synthetic compounds. There is not much data on the impact that these synthetic hormones have on plants growth rate in pea plants. In order to understand the impacts of synthetic auxin an experiment was conducted using natural auxin, naphthaleneacetic acid, and…

Discussion The aim of this study is to determine how plant growth is affected by Rhizobia bacteria and fertilizer. The histogram in figure 1 indicates that the change in biomass of pea plant species was higher under Rhizobia + fertilizer. Pea plant species comes from a legume family. According to Taiz and Zeiger (2010), these plant species enter into a symbiotic relationship with root-nodule bacteria, referred to as Rhizobia. Based on the results, the increase in biomass under rhizobia+…

Introduction: Once a plant begins growth, it depends on multiple abiotic factors to continue growing: light, carbon dioxide and water. These three factors affect the growth rate of a plant, causing it to grow quicker or slower. Furthermore, altering these factors may stunt plants growth or improve it. For example, plants require an adequate amount of water to survive. Water hydrates the plant and also breaks down the minerals in the soil. As the plant absorbs the water, nutrients are transported…

Title: To investigate the reproductive structures of the plants and to understand its importance in the survival of plant species. Introduction: Angiosperms are the dominant form of plant life in most terrestrial ecosystems, comprising about 90 percent of all plant species. Most crop and ornamental plants are angiosperms. Their success results, in part, from two innovative structures: the flower and the fruit. Flowers are derived evolutionarily from modified leaves. The main parts of a flower…

Reflective Journal 3- How Plants Tell Time After reviewing chapters six and seven in the Biology Life on Earth textbook while also considering the video titled How Plants Tell Time, it can be concluded that photosynthesis is the most important process on earth in regards to maintaining life. Photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction, meaning that the products involved in the process have more energy than the reactants (Anderson, 18). Because of this endergonic reaction, plants are able to store…

effected the growth of the Tomato plants. My prediction was that the fertilised plant will grow more then the plants that were water. The fertilied plants will grow more because the fertiliser has element that the water cant give the plants that make it grow. The elements that fertiliser has is nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This is why the fertilised plants grew so much.The experminent was used to investigate the difference between the growth of Tomato plants with fertiliser and with…

1.1.1 Describe photosynthesis and how it works in internal plant processes. Photosynthesis is a process which plants make food from sunlight. The plants convert light energy to chemical energy. The converted chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water. There are two main process in photosynthesis. (Light reaction and dark reaction) Light reactions produce organic energy molecules (ATP and NADPH). Chlorophyll which is in chloroplast…

Alstromeria known by people as Peruvian lily or lily of the Incas or parrot lily is a south America genus of over 50 species of flowering plants with its natural habitat ranging from the cool mountain of the Andes in Chile, Peru and brazil and this magnificent flower was discovered in the 18th century by the Swedish scientist Clas alstromer Fabulously beautiful with varying shades of bright green, bright purple, orange, pink, rose, purple, red, yellow, white or salmon colors, this unique color…
