unused motor oil affect the percent germination of Romaine Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia) seeds? Research Question How does unused motor oil affect the percent germination of Romaine Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia) seeds? Background Germination in seeds is when the seed coat breaks revealing the embryo or sprout of the plant (Biology Online). For a seed to properly germinate it must have water, oxygen, and the correct temperature (BBC). Each type of seed has a…

This article looks at the seismonastic response (the response of a plant to touch or vibration) and how it utilizes the transport of K+ in the pulvinar cells (the thickening at the base of a leaflet that causes the movement of the leaflet based on differing turgor pressure in these cells). They tested many hypotheses regarding the seismonastic reaction in the Mimosa pudica, one of which tested whether there was an increased efflux of K+ from pulvinar cells during stimulation. The experimenters…

The seed that bears two vines. This fraze has been interpred into many diffrent meanings, one is the vine of life and the vine of death. "The Tunnel", "The Bridge" and "The Scarlet Ibis", each feed off this vine. Some psoitve and negive vine, each vine has a meaning that refers back twards the stories. All three stories have symbols that refers back into the two vines. "The Tunnel" has many symbols such as the mothers beach being the safe beach, then boys beach was dangerous where one could get…

Rotavator Saeed Firouzi and Mohammadreza Alizadeh (2012) [1]: has performed field experiment to evaluate different weeding method for groundnut. The weeding method included two power tiller operated weeders Cultivator and Rotavator. Study was carried out at three different forward speeds of 1, 1.5 and 2km/hr. For all the factors Rotavator gave superior results than Cultivator. The maximum soil manipulation was achieved by Rotavator at lowest forward speed of 1km/hr. which leads to higher crop…

This lab report is over the effects of acid rain on plant germination and growth. Testing was done to see the acid rain had an effect on the radish seed germination and growth of the radish plant. Radish plants, also known as raphanus sativus, a cultigen plants. This means that the radishes have become what they are now, due to selective breeding over the course of thousands of years. “Grown worldwide for its fleshy, edible taproot, radish is thought to have originated in the eastern…

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…

Believe it or not, some plants can feel just like us, but even better, thanks to thigmotropism. Thigmotropism is a plant’s way of touching, or feeling. Thigmotropism is one of the tropisms, in which plants use to react with their environments. “Scientifically defined, it is the directional response of a plant organ to touch or physical contact with a solid object (1).” When a plant comes into contact with an object of a solid state, the response is to curl around it. “A Morning Glorie’s sense of…

Algae, a form of biomass, help lakes, but they do need the right environment with the correct pH and different light conditions in order to aid the lake’s health. Algae use sunlight to make food for themselves and give themselves energy through the process known as photosynthesis by using chlorophyll. They also absorbs carbon dioxide, turning it into energy, which would take place more in the nighttime when it’s dark. In this longer-term experiment, I will be evaluating the sun or lack of sun’s…

prevented the germination of R. sativus seeds, but also to specifically find if there had been a parallel between the changing concentration of E. microcorys to the seed germination. The resulting data supported the stated hypothesis to a substantial extent. The hypothesis was supported because when the concentration of concocted E. microcorys substance increased, the slower the seeds germinated. This was evident from compared trends of the total number of germinated seeds of five different E.…

thrives in direct sun, finely textured soils, and shallow fresh water. Wildlife Uses Stands of Rush form deep, fibrous root systems. These provide shoreline protection, filter pollutants, absorb nutrients, and facilitate soil health. The plant’s seeds and vegetative parts are utilized for food or cover by waterfowl, muskrats, non-game birds, moose, and domestic livestock. General Information The plant is an angiosperm and a monocot. The…
