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…

Jadelynn McIver Mr. Scanlon Earth Science 8C 16 October, 2015 Hey, Scanlocrates it's your longtime friend Jadeaphonies. Some rumor has been going around saying you do not believe the earth is round? Well I’m here to tell you that you’re really wrong I mean why would I lie to you we have been friends forever. Weren't you there during the lunar eclipse? I am going to tell you exactly why the earth is round. You do not want everyone to think you’re dumb. But I your best friend and at that a…

Results: During this lab, we finish watching the video “earth from space” and begin discussing the procedures that will be taking place at the COM field ecology laboratory. We learn about the experiments that will be conduct to study primary production, ecological succession and population dynamics in the lab. Discussion A. What is primary production? Primary production is the production of biomass from chemical energy (primarily sunlight) “during a given time of period in an ecosystem” (pg.…

The aim of the experiment was to find if Fertliser 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…

broad, with larger leaves at the base of the plant and small leaves higher on the flowering stem. The flowers are inconspicuous, yellow-green, 3–4 mm in diameter, maturing into a small, hard, dry, lumpy fruit cluster 5–10 mm across containing several seeds. Common spinach, S. oleracea, was long considered to be in the family Chenopodiaceae, but in 2003, that family was merged into…

experiment concluded to the point that seeds do grow faster in darkness, than in light. The hypothesis stated that seeds will grow faster in the darkness, which was demonstrated in this experiment. In the data table under seeds that grow in darkness had an average height of 1.85 centimeters, whereas for seeds in light average height is 0.45 centimeters, substantiating the claim that the pea plants in dark have a higher success rate than those in the light. The seeds in the darkness, sprouted…

2. Number of field generations: Data present in fig (1 and 2) and Table (2 and 3) indicated that the cottony camellia scale, P.floccifera has one annual generation, and these results were ensured throughout the two years of study of the insect population under field condition at Assiut governorate. The number of generations was taken from the annual number of peaks of nymphs. During the first year of investigation, the percentage of nymph population recorded 78.81%of the total population through…

3. Results Considering the morphological characteristics of the ecotypes, the cladode shape was elliptic or ovate, the number of spines varied among three classes (many, intermediate or few), the flowers had two types of petal color (scarlet or yellow), the fruit was elliptic or ovoid and the pulp color was white, pale yellow or orange (Table 2). The OFI populations studied showed statistically significant differences for DM of the fruits, F (17, 34.24) = 31.61, p < 0.05, which varied…

Chapter 3 RESULT AND DISCUSSION 1. Growth Responds of String Beans and Bell pepper 1.1 Height Increment of String Beans at Every Two Weeks Interval. Figure 1 shows the height of string beans from 2nd week to 10th week. Data gathered for the height were taken every 2 weeks. Result show that plant inoculated with rhizobial culture from makahiya (MR) were the tallest 67.93 cm after 10th week, followed by plants inoculated with rhizobial culture from lalaking aratilis (PR) 63.96, then PD 59.52.…
