Plants

Conclusions: In conclusion, sugar didn’t make the plants grow faster it made them grow slower. Although the plants with added sugar at the end started to grow faster, the heights for the 1 tsp of sugar plants doubled in size. I think this is because the plants needed to get used to the sugar and once they did it acted as a steroid and made them grow faster. I think to prove my hypothesis I needed more time to carry out the experiment to see if the sugar acted as a steroid or if in the end it…

Organisms to Improve Efficiency Besides using just genes from the plant itself, scientists have been able to introduce other genes from other organisms into the plant cells, one of the first being (Fructose-1, 6-Sedoheptulose-1, 7-biphosphate). The (Fructose-1, 6-Sedoheptulose-1, 7-biphosphate) gene comes from cyanobacteria and was introduced to a transgenic tobacco plant. Once again, through the use of overexpression, the tobacco plant showed an increased photosynthetic rate and increased…

planning to go and pollute it again. The Port of Tacoma is planning on making a methanol plant for a company based in China. They should not build a methanol plant because, it will pollute our air with different chemicals, and it will cost a lot of money. These are only a few reasons why they should not build a methanol plant at the Port of Tacoma. The first reason why they should not build the methanol plant is that it will pollute our air. One textual evidence that shows this is from…

3. Evaluate, on the basis of research, ways in which different societies or cultures have used plants to sustain human populations while supporting environmental sustainability (e.g., sustainable agricultural practices in developing countries such as crop rotation and seed saving; traditional Aboriginal corn production practices). The agriculture and hunting of Aboriginal people focuses on taking in only what is necessary (7). Around the world millions of tons of edible food is wasted and in…

important to manage invasive plants in order to preserve our native habitat; to care for our fields, forests and waterways; and protect farmlands. Controlling the spread of invasives can be a complicated issue, because complete eradication is unrealistic in most cases. Managing the most common invasive plants, different control techniques, and tips for preventing new invasions from occurring can help to stop the spread of such plant species. Non-native invasive plants change the landscapes we…

Invasive plants are an issue that we need to address because, they are causing a lot of damage to our infrastructure, animals, and other plants and are putting them in danger. “An invasive species is a plant, fungus, or animal species that is not native to a specific location (an introduced species), and that has a tendency to spread to a degree believed to cause damage to the environment, human economy or human health.”(Wikipedia) Although invasive plant can be used as a natural pesticide, they…

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…

show that the plants that were being watered without vinegar grew the most by height. The plants with a 20% concentration and 50% concentration of vinegar did not grow at all. I believe that this data is correct and valid because I conducted the experiment with 2 different pots for each type of water, and each pot that had similar water showed similar results. Also, all of the plants were placed in similar conditions, except for the ph of the water that was being given to each plant, thereby…

native plants and not Brisbane city council has a program that offers free native trees for you to grow freely (in selected areas) in your backyard. For this assignment I am proving the argument that the city council should only give native plants to the selected suburbs of Brisbane and not plants from other parts of Australia or the world. Using local native plants in your garden have a lot of benefits top offer, for example wildlife and better growth due to the local soil. Using local plants…

History All plants need water, but plants may prefer one type of water over another. There are two main types of water, tap water and rainwater, and each type of water has its pros and cons. 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…
