We are doing this experiment to study the effects on hormones on the Wisconsin fast plants Standard and the Rosette Dwarf. Hormones are chemical signals that coordinate the different parts of an organism growth and are equally important in most multicellular organisms from humans to plants. What are the effects of hormones on the Rosette-Dwarf Wisconsin fast plants? I hypothesis that the effects of gibberellic acid and abscisic acid would not influence the growth and development of the Rosette-Dwarf
Chapter-1 INTRODUCTION 1. Introduction Phosphorus (P) is one of the most essential component of the nucleic acid structure which regulates protein synthesis and plays an important role in biological growth and development. Being the most limiting macronutrient after nitrogen, P plays a significant role in increasing root ramification and strength as well as provides vitality and disease resistance. Along with these essential functions, P is also associated with complex signal transduction
Plant growth regulators, which include both promoters as well as inhibitors, are chemicals designed to manipulate plant growth and development (Arteca 2014). They are applied for specific purposes to affect specific plant responses, e.g. to control plant height, eliminate excessive vegetative growth, and enhance flowering (Grossman 1990). One of their main mode of action, particularly of those called growth retardants, is to reduce stem growth (i.e. shorten the internode length). These substances
Aloe Vera Benefits: Skin Getting an aloe vera plant proves to be helpful in more than one way. It is worth a try as a natural approach to ageless skin. Aloe vera has several properties that are effective in treating a variety of skin conditions like flaky or dry skin, cosmetic ailments, and hair and scalp problems. Due to its many uses and benefits to the skin and hair, aloe vera has now gained more popularity and has become a staple ingredient in many beauty and skin care products. In order to
Biology, the study of life and living organisms, is complex and encompasses a multitude of theories and ideas. In AP Biology, the first unit covered was evolution. Chapters 29, 31, 39, 40, 41, 42, and 43 in the textbook, Campbell’s Biology in Focus, not only discusses the four main ideas of biology: evolution, energy, information, and systems, but it also gives examples of each in order to help guide the reader’s understanding of the concepts. The first big idea of AP Biology is: “the process
Introduction Pollution has been around since Ancient Rome and is described as the contamination of our natural environment that is caused by chemicals and gas (Stromberg). Because of pollution in the air, more damaging consequences such as the formation of acid rain are triggered. The largest contributors to pollution are humans through industrial factories that expel foreign chemicals into the atmosphere and cause the formation of acid rain. This topic was chosen to explore the effect of man-made
