Discussion Board for Radish Seed Germination Experiment Anna Jean Discussion The number of radish seeds germinated was most successful in a solution with a 0% concentration of Miracle-Gro, as all ten seeds germinated on average over a 5-day period. This is opposed to when the radish seeds were put in a higher concentration of Miracle-Gro, then the number of germinations decreased (Figure 2). The application of Miracle-Gro has proven ineffective in promoting the germination of radish seeds in this experiment. Although Miracle-Gro contains nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which all assist with plant growth, it seems to have the opposite effect when germinating the radish seeds. Excessive application of Miracle-Gro inhibited the …show more content…

Doing so can make the experiment’s results more accurate and less likely to be refuted by these limitations. Given the results, it is apparent that the evidence does not support the hypothesis that an increased concentration of Miracle-Gro would increase the number of germinations. This is likely due to an excessive amount of nutrients inhibiting the radish seeds from germinating. This information can be used by agricultural organizations to promote food production by maximizing the number of radish seed germinations. This experiment aimed to determine what effect Miracle-Gro has on radish seed germinations, which was that on average the number of seed germinations decreased as Miracle-Gro concentration increased. To enhance the success rate of seed germination in food production, the experiment could be redesigned to assess various seed varieties. Also, implementing different soil types as an additional variable can be beneficial, as the pH alteration caused by Miracle-Gro may negatively impact radish seed germination if it falls outside the optimal range for these

If the experiment was completed again, more higher concentrations could be applied to the seeds to see if the data is further supported. Either way the more trials the better and more accurate results, this applies to any experiment. Practical applications of the principles of this investigation may be using the correct concentration for a specific plant or seed. This lab shows that it is necessary to follow the directions and specifications when using the fertilizer miracle

The main goal of this experiment was to test Wisconsin Fast plants with both zero fertilizer and different amounts of fertilizer and see how the fertilizer affected the growth of the plants over 14 days. In the experiment the plants height was measured every 7 days until the 14 days was over, on the 14th day the plants weight was measured. My concussion is Wisconsin Fast Plants grow with the help of fertilizer in most cases, but the amount of fertilizer effects the growth of the plants over a period of time and each plant (with different amounts of fertilizer) grows but take either a longer or shorter amount of time to get to a bigger height. The fertilizer had a positive effect on the plants because it helped with their growth and structure overall. As the days progressed, the plants grew fast and become greener quick.

How would you feel if you had to be worrying about the Nazi´s taking you away for being Jewish? Or living in a Nazi controlled area? In the book Black Radishes by Susan Lynn Meyer, Gustave lived in Paris with his parents and hung out with his cousins/friends Marcel and Jean-Paul everyday until the Nazis came and Gustave and his parents moved to the unoccupied zone where he worries about his family still in the occupied zone. At the end, his family finally moves to the United States fleeing from Nazi-controlled Paris. The author uses description, tone, and revealing actions to demonstrate the goal of setting up the problem.

One thing that was definitely concluded from this experiment was that lemon juice, with such a strong ph, does not help radish seeds to grow/germinate. Since there were only three trials conducted in both the acidity and radiation experiment, the data and results cannot be completely reliable unless there were more trials to be conducted, especially in order to attempt to disregard the outlier in trial two from the radiation experiment. In the future, we would conduct this experiment in a different way by doing multiple trials on the same day and in the same room hanging it up on the same side window to try to get the results as close as we can. By making these changes for the near future, the temperature, the amount of sunlight

The plants with 200 ml topsoil were projected to have the highest average height according to the original hypothesis of increased plant growth due to an increase on the amount of topsoil added. Moreover, the original hypothesis was refuted as the plants with no topsoil in the control had a higher average height than the plants with 25 ml topsoil. The mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants with 25 ml topsoil indicated possible deficiencies in phosphorus which might have slowed their growth. Moreover, the mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants in both 100 ml and 200 ml topsoil also indicated a possible phosphorus deficiency which may have resulted in the slower growth of the plants despite having greater amounts of topsoil. The experimental results might have skewed due to the over fertilization of the radish seeds which might have led to excess nutrient levels which are unsuitable for radish plants as they require little to no fertilization for growth (Chase, 2018).

The people seeds case: You desire to open a window in your house knowing that there are these seeds similar to pollen that could enter your house, take root in your living room and use your house for the duration of the growing period. Understanding the consequences you go out and buy a metal screen, the very best protection, in order to best prevent a people seed from entering your house. After opening the window and installing the screen a people seed still manages to enter and take root. People seeds argument: If a fetus has the right to the use of your body just because you willingly engaged in an activity knowing that it could result in a pregnancy, then the people seed has the right to the use of your house just because you willingly

Radebaugh’s “Colossal Crops” comic strip may have seemed a bit outlandish when it was published on January 28th, 1962, but today it holds quite accurate. The comic portrays an extremely large ear of corn loaded onto a truck, and a gamma ray “sprinkler” irradiating the tomato plants in the background (Radebaugh). Due to a significant increase in the size of crops over time and the modern practice of food irradiation, Radebaugh’s 1962 “Colossal Crops” comic was a justifiable, albeit hyperbolic prediction of agriculture in our modern age. Much has changed since 1962, especially in the realm of food production.

for his toxic plants. The insensitive scientist is unconcerned that his daughter has been permanently stained with toxins from the garden’s flowers. Consequently, Hawthorne depicts scientists as cold-hearted individuals who can be characterized as evil and merciless. However, several sources concerning GMO’s contradict this belief as scientists create food with better texture, flavor, and nutritional value. While Hawthorne focuses on scientists’ value of experimentation over human life, many articles describe how crops are modified to benefit society.

In this experiment we shall be looking at how pH effects the change in biomass of lettuce seeds after 8 days of germination. It will be interesting to see which seeds radicles begin to grow down and the plumules up and by what amount. To see how the behaviour of the enzymes involved in germination changes when placed in different pH buffer solutions will be fascinating and will help increase my knowledge of the matter. When the pH is low this means that there will be a high concentration of H+ ions present thus making the buffer solution more acidic and vice versa for solutions with high pH. It will be extremely interesting to find out the optimum pH of the enzymes which are present during germination (for example amylase which breaks down

This includes not using the right soil, not letting the seeds germinate first before giving them the different solutes, and also using too much/too little of the solutions. All of these could have had a big effect on the outcome of the experiment because of how important these variables are. If the seeds were able to germinate first, then there wouldn’t have been an issue of plants not growing initially, and they would have been in a more controlled environment. If the wrong soil was used, then the seeds wouldn’t have had some of the necessary nutrients they need to grow. Also, with watering the plants too much or too little, this could also kill the plants or hinder their growth because of how strong these variables

The overall project goals and central questions that has to do with the project is mostly trying to determine the isotonic concentration of the salt in potato roots and the use of the ideal soil salt conditions for the potato plant growth. In part 2, we had to test the enzyme activity that is in the was involved in the potato, so we can also determine the ideal soil pH conditions for the potato plant growth. In part 3, we were able to test absorb the leaf pigment at various wavelengths that determine the optimum light absorption conditions and was able to make recommendations for the light conditions that would be used un greenhouses. The goal of the first project is to determine the ideal soil salt for potato roots and we can relate this to the project is to find out if Solution A or Solution B has more solute in it. The goal of this project is to determine the meaning of Osmosis.

This suggests that as the temperature increased cellular respiration increased until it reached an optimal level somewhere between 400C to 600C. (Text book ref) BIOLOGICAL UNCERTAINITIES I bought the seeds two days before the experiment attempting to purchase seeds of the same age with almost identical sizes. However, even though I attempted to control the biological factors, some seeds germinated faster and at a better rate than others. The seeds that germinated better would also consequently give a higher rate of cellular respiration than the rest. I tried to correct this by choosing germinated seeds of almost similar visible size and also added in each respirometer the amount of dry/fresh seeds and beads that would equal to the total volume of germinating seeds and water in a graduated
