Radish

was actually very excited to go the supermarket because she saw in the local newspaper advertisement that they would be selling "exotic food" such as her foreign culture's classic food; ginger, daikon, and udon. As she pushed the heavy half glass half oak doors open she immediately felt all eyes were on her and her son. She walked to the produce to try and find the new goods that the store was selling. While walking, she passed by a big double chinned white shelf stocker. She smiled at him and said a heavily accented "Good morning." The worker gave her a cold blank stare with his grey eyes in return. "They all hate me." She thought while trying not to bust out crying. After searching around the section she finally found a daikon radish. Now she could finally make real Japanese style pickles. As she walked she went through the process of making them in her head she soon found herself in the frozen aisle. This aisle always captivated her because back home everything was always fresh and not in a package. It amazed her that people could eat things that have mystery meat and have been frozen for who knows long. When passing by this section she always walked down it very slowly to engulf herself with the American food. She would always think that maybe if she was seen here people would think she was American also. While gazing at the frozen meatloaf and swanson tv dinners as if by fortuitous her son bumped into a slender white lady with perfect makeup, pearls, and…

Abstract This experiment is about the effect of microwave radiation exposure on the percent that radish seeds germinate. The hypothesis in this experiment is if the radish seed is placed in the microwave for 8 minutes, then the percent of germinated seeds would be the lowest out of all the times. This experiment is important because if something happens and radish seeds are exposed to microwave radiation people would be able to know if the radishes would germinate if they knew the time they…

Karma is defined as the doctrine that the good and bad acts have inevitable consequences in this and future lives. In the story of Radish and Lady Leek Stem, we karma in action. Radish entrusted Lady Leek Stem, his mother, with money to give to monks who came to the door to beg. Since she did not give money to the monks, she lied to him when he returned. As a result of her lie, instead of reaching salvation, when she died she went straight to hell, where she suffered terrible torments (such as…

Plants get mass from the air, specifically carbon dioxide. The results from both VonHelmont's experiment and the radish seed experiment support this idea. In VonHelmont’s experiment, the plant gained 164 pounds in 5 years while the soil only lost 2 ounces in weight.These results reveal that a plant does not receive its mass from soil. The roots of the plant absorbed water from the soil in order to photosynthesize causing the soil to lose 2 ounces overtime. In the radish seed experiment, the…

The original hypothesis, “If ascorbic acid has positive effects on radish seed germination, then radish seeds germinated with ascorbic acid concentrations of 0, 100, 300, and 500 parts per million (ppm) solutions will exhibit longer seed radicles (measured in millimeters) than control seeds germinated in distilled water alone” was incompletely supported. For example, Graph 1 shows the Control trial achieved the greatest average length (31.5 mm) by the end of the experiment in comparison to all…

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 Mediterranean region.” Being the radishes are grown…

at the same time for me. I wanted to see which bag of radish seeds will grow when it was inserted inside a microwave. This experiment looks interseted because i wanna see what would happen to the seeds as soon as they last 10 seconds inside the microwave. This can be a good project for others it looks preety cool, it can be used in the REAL WORLD. There are people who plant these Radish Seeds and put them in the ground were it can get enough sun and they can water the seeds. The seeds can…

The problem that was tested in this experiment was, how will the color of light effect the germination of the radish seed? The experiment consisted of testing five germinating radish seeds under four different color lights, red, blue, green, and normal fluorescent light. The seeds were placed in a Petri dish covered in a wet paper towel and a piece of colored cellophane was also placed on top. The results were quite interesting because the seeds showed no difference in number of germination…

Then seeds begin to expand and break out of the seed coat. It is important to know the process of germination before you can begin the experiment, because you need to know what factors can affect how the plant grows. The radish seeds germinate fast only in about three to five days which is why we are going to use it The purpose of our experiment is to see what other factors can affect the germination rate of the seed. We will do the first trial by microwaving the radish seeds for…

Number of accumulated germinations of poppy for each concentration of Gibberellic acid (group data) Graph 3. Number of accumulated germinations of radish for each concentration of Gibberellic acid (class data) Notice that the trend are similar for all . Graph 4. Number of accumulated germinations of poppy for each concentration of Gibberellic acid (class data) Discussion Regarding to graph 1 for radish seeds, the data suggest that the seeds without any gibberellic acid are the ones…
