maculatus, prefers a certain color bean to oviposition on, we used a group of bean beetles with their natal beans being the green mung beans, which was provided in the laboratory. Next, we decided on two new colored beans to test our hypothesis. We chose the red Adzuki beans because they were a darker color and the white Black-eyed peas because they were a lighter color. Even though the colors contrasted from each other, the two types of beans were relatively the same size, which excluded size from being a preference for oviposition. To start and set up this experiment, we took 55 of each type of bean, 110 in all per petri dish and randomly mixed them in the petri dish, to eliminate any random error of the bean placement.
How The Bean Trees is a coming of age themed novel In The Bean Trees Taylor and Lou Ann struggle to come of age, or mature, with these two being very important characters I believe a major theme of the book is coming of age. There are many pieces of evidence to support this claim, therefore I will provide them. Our first example would have to be Taylor’s journey throughout the book.
In The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver, Missy, The novel’s main character changes. Said changes are what defines Missy as a whole. These changes occur as a result of Obstacles she comes across and conquers. Such obstacles drive on these changes through either fear or just a lack of will, suppressing her mind and then being confronted with a need for change The reader can see Missy’s first transition when she has a change of heart in the people of Pittman County.
As stated in the background of the lab, "seeds are considered to be in a period of dormancy, where they metabolize stored energy at a very slow rate while the seed is still considered alive" (Hands On Labs). During germination, the developing plant embryo uses the stored food supply in the seed for cellular energy and growth. Thus, cellular respiration is taking place as the seeds grow. Without water the seeds cannot begin germinating thus the seeds in test tube N did not undergo photosynthesis(Hands On Labs). B. Were the seeds in the “G” tube undergoing both photosynthesis and respiration, only photosynthesis, or only respiration?
There is always someone that is considered to be a catalyst of change in their lives and the lives of those that surround them. In the novel “The Bean Trees”, the main character named Taylor, who from a very young age, knows that she needs to make changes in her life if she is to not become like the other girls in her small Kentucky town. Taylor embodies a personality of progression and individuality. In the novel Taylor goes through different stages of transformation and learning toward personal maturity that can be divided into 4 major segments. Those segments being first her hometown life and when she decides to move away, second when she arrives to where she moved to, third her developments with the people she meets, and finally her final commitment she makes to
Relationships are always challenging, but there are certain qualities that mark either a beneficial or toxic relationship. Being able to pick up on these signs is very important to maintain a solid relationship. There is unfortunate time when one has to notice a sign of a poor relationship, and figure out how to fix it. In the book The Bean Trees, by Barbara Kingsolver, the characters Taylor and Lou Ann are great friends living in Arizona. In Matt de la Peña’s Mexican Whiteboy, Danny and Uno become good friends during one summer while playing baseball.
Because carbon dioxide is absorbed by the plant during photosynthesis less carbon dioxide present in the chamber is a sign that photosynthesis is working. The four lights used for this experiment range across the light spectrum on both sides in order to test a wider variety of wavelengths. All lights will be placed directly on the spinach leaf at the same distance so as not to give any spinach leaf a different light intensity, which could affect the data. This experiment will be able to show which light, ranging across the light spectrum, will allow the Spinach to perform photosynthesis more efficiently.
“Children learn more from what you are than what you teach” (W.E.B DuBois). Children constantly gain knowledge from their parent’s actions and decisions. Mexican Whiteboy by Matt de la Peña, The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver, and Two Kinds by Amy Tan all show different ways parents influence their child’s behavior and decisions. Throughout these three novels, parents are role models for their children through the examples they set, the way they treat them, and how they force them into situations. A child’s actions reflects the influence from their parents because they want to make their parents proud.
Within the novel “The Bean Trees”, written by Barbara Kingsolver. Within the book, abuse is taken into different terms. Abuse is not only physical, but it can also be categorized as sexual, mental, verbal, psychological, financial, elder, and spiritual abuse. The only four types of abuse that were introduced into the book was sexual, physical, verbal, and The first type of abuse is child abuse.

Next, the amount of seedlings in the tray that expressed a green or white phenotype were both counted. The group observed that there were eleven total seedlings; eight of those seedlings were green and the three remaining were white. The next step in the experiment was to add up the class totals of green to albino seedlings, as shown in table 1. After determining a group phenotype ratio of 8:3 and a class ratio of 42:10, the group questioned what defect the white plants could have that might make the seedlings appear albino instead of green. The students concluded that a lack of chloroplast could explain why some of the seedlings were albino. The lab partners also decided that for a recessive, albino phenotype to be expressed, GG, Gg, and gg had to be the genotypes of the seedlings.
These findings could aid us in finding new discoveries. Also, if the culture behind the plant can tell us something that we did not
Regarding the circumstances the plant will not grow as they do not have the ‘“sunshine” to do
The plants with the no nitrogen did not grow to be taller than the low nitrogen or the high nitrogen. Also, the lack of the macronutrient made the no nitrogen plants to have holes on their cotyledons, fewer nodes than the other two, and a thinner stem making it not a healthy plant. If there is a lack of a macronutrient, the leaves will end up having different colors and also the leaves might result in cell death. In this case, the no nitrogen had leaves that had brown and yellow pigments and the leaves were not healthy. The leaves were wrinkled and smaller.
In this process,phenolic compounds such as caffeic acid and tannin are extracted from a water fern called azolla mycrophylla, this plant does not have seed or flowers. Both these acids have immense potenial roles Caffeic acid as an antioxidant,anticarcinogenic as well as anti-inflammatory while tannin has been used to treat various diseases along with acting as a shield from external attackers like predators in plants. The extraction procedure started from the crushing of the dried azolla plant material converting it into powderous form so as to mix it with a solvent such as petroleum ether instead of ethanol for further mixing and then it is placed inside a UV sonicator before filteration using a funnel and filter papaer for removal of the plant debris,after using a seperating funnel for seperation it is placed in a rotary evaporator so that the solute and solvent gets seperated as the solvent that had been initially used is seperated out along with drying of the rest of the material which can be further used for the analysis of caffeic acid as well as tannin and for their further analysis using aspectrophotometer. Spectrophotometer analysis gave the exact peaks at the particular wavelengths. These acids have olso
