Valencia, 1813 The aroma of freshly peeled oranges drifted through the cramped space of the flower shop, moonlight streaming gently from a nearby window. María couldn’t tear her eyes away from Noelle’s fingers. Sharp nails–like talons, she thought–cut deftly underneath the fruit’s soft rind, filling the air around them with fresh, crisp perfume. When the peel fell to the floor, all Maria could look at was the pulp gathered under the woman’s fingernail. “You’re quiet, mon chérie.” Her voice was
Variables (Independent, dependent, control, uncontrolled) (discuss) Likely impact upon the investigation How the variable will be changed/ measured/controlled Independent variable The temperatures [ 20℃ (control), 30℃, 40℃, 50℃, 60℃, and 70℃] Heating the green peas may allow the texture or color of increase in the colorimeter. The variety of temperatures will give us a view of the effectiveness on the green pease color. Dependent variable Colorimeter Colorimeter measures the amount of
The common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, is a widely eaten food that is high in digestible fiber (crude fiber). The purpose of this study was to evaluate three different breeding methods (bulk-population, bulk within F2 families, single seed descent) for the genetic potential of the progeny, for the trait of crude fiber. The majority of the sources of variation, besides for the parents and parents by environment interaction, were found to be significant at a P < 0.01 level between the three breeding
Water hyacinth is a plant species native to South America that has been introduced to some parts of the western United States, and has not ceased to wreak havoc since. The recent droughts in California have not seemed to help the situation, and the aquatic plant is a relentless pest that refuses to yield to any attempts at extermination. The state of California has spent millions of dollars in an effort to eradicate the invasive species, however water hyacinth shows no signs of leaving any time soon
Question: What is time? Stimulus: On November 24, 2013 an episode of Family Guy came out where the family’s dog Brian Griffin, was hit by a car right in front of his best friend Stewie Griffin, and died. The family decided to get a new dog name Vinnie, to replace Brian and the new dog just isn't any better. Stewie Griffin then encounter his past self at the mall and remembered that he had a time machine hidden in his backpack. (Which in the previous episode Stewie broke his time machine) He used
Evaluation In this experiment data on the effect of pH levels on seeds germination it is consistent with a single best - fit line. Best- fit line is being used to show the relationship between the pH levels and seeds root length. Since the best- fit of this data is quadratic, I have to linearize my graph to a linear graph. Since my graph is a linear graph this shows that there is a relationship between pH levels and seeds root length. The value of the y- intercept in this experiment represents
Plant height and leaf area were compared in two rapid-cycling Brassica rapa genotypes for 14 days of growth. The dwarf mutant, rosette which is relatively smaller than its counterpart the standard Brassica rapa were grown in a lab and observed for morphological difference. Difference of internode height was found to be because of fewer and smaller cells of the rosette dwarf variant. The average rosette dwarf epidermal cell was found to be about 65% of the size of an average standard epidermal cell
Age is only how you choose to feel. When surrounded by a natural, fresh aired atmosphere, age seems to be a factor. Observing a park setting and keeping in mind that factor, it suddenly brings a level of enlightenment for those that observe. The observation leaves a lingering question once it is evaluated, being; what is the behavioral differences between adults and children while at the park?; A person’s age determines the main activities and behaviors they engage in at a public park. As an observant
Permanence in Nature In the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” Robert Frost examines the idea that everything in nature and life is temporary. This poem analyzes the concept that things in nature are born and fade away so that the next cycle can take it’s place. Frost uses poetic elements such as images, figures of speech, and the setting of his poem to prove to his readers that everything, including themselves, is temporary and replaced, and, therefore, moments should not be taken for granted. The
Conclusion: Asian ginseng did affect the germination of the sunflowers seeds. We believe the germination of the sunflower seeds were affected by the nitrogen containing compounds that are found in the roots of Asian ginseng. Question??? Methods 25 sunflower seeds were divided into 3 different petri dishes. 2 of the petri dishes were soaked in water, and the third was soaked in liquid Asian ginseng, for 5 minutes. The seeds of each individual petri dish were placed, wrapped and rolled in 3
The Venezuelan avocado grows oblong, blooming viridescent at the swell and contorting its body at an 80 degree angle; the flesh appears to convulse. Dreaming, Lucia saw a field of cicadas washed pale. The pit pulses. “—poor Sasha. Poor girls.” His collar twitched against his neck, rows of anchors raising and dropping when his vowels dipped or jaw stretched around his neckline. Ebbing. Lucia thought his coat was stupid. He flicked the knob of her cheek, “tus ojos son graciosos,” and stared at
Trees rings are rings within the trunk of the tree. A method that scientist use to analysis the pattern of the growth of a tree is known as Dendrochronology. The way that tree rings are produced, is during growth season the trunk grows thicker that produces a new layer of wood (United States Environmental Protection Agency). Paleoclimatologist use tree-rings to analysis the climate changes and the health of the forest or the environment around it. Each of the rings is consist with a year of growth
AFTER “386,059…” I walk over a branch of an oak tree, moss growing on the left side, still green. “386,059….” I kick a small rock, smooth on the bottom and sharp on the top. “386,059...” I'm off guard but I don't mind. I look to the side of the newly made trail, and A light gray, almost blue, hare hops to the green tree a few feet away. The hare makes a sharp turn of his neck and looks at me. Blue, the color of its eyes. I look for a quick second, staring back then proceeded to walk. “386,0-” “for

The mansion has different section, such as: entrance to the mansion, jungle room, Vernon’s office, Trophy building, Elvis Presley Automobile, Racquetball building and Meditation Garden. However, no artists would make a place where people can see a historic Mansion so valuable in the 20th
Navinika Moon was a teen photographer and her aesthetic was the lush forest near her small town of Morganville. She went there almost daily to take pictures of the beautiful trees and their golden leaves. The crisp sound of their crunch beneath her feet sent shivers down her spine. She pulled out her camera and set up her tripod to take time lapse photos of the leaves falling. She grabbed her bag and nestled down against a large cedar tree, she then pulled out her sketchbook and started to sketch
“Scrap Scrap” said the tree as I was climbing up it. This was a big jungle tree about the size of a skyscraper. It grew tall it had slippery green moss on the side and had long branches the size of a huge limo, but I don’t know what that is because I have never seen one. I have lived in the jungle all of my life with just a van and a little bit of gas left in it, in the middle of nowhere and I can’t do anything about it. When I was little my parents had got divorced and I had to go to an orphanage
Pineapple is the most significant plant in the Bromeliaceae family. Bromeliaceae family is split into three subfamilies, which included Pitcairnioideae, Tillandsiodeae and Bromelioideae (Kuppusamy, 2012). Pineapple is included in the subfamily Bromelioideae, order Bromeliales, genus Ananas and species comosus. It is a perennial evergreen herbaceous and monocotyledonous fruit tree that produces one of the most famous tropical fruits besides maize, banana and citrus. The genus Ananas has distinctive
Leguminosae or Fabaceae family. It has seeds born in pods, compound leaves with numerous leaflets, and the roots are associated to bacteria that symbiotically fix nitrogen. This plant produce foliage and that are usually abundant in nitrogen compounds with a good indispensable amino acid composition. In addition. The plant provides food and good habitat protection for wildlife, and is browsed by both wildlife (white-tailed deer) and domestic (goats, sheep and cattle) ruminants, especially in periods

excessive moss, use a moss killer two to three weeks before scarification. The lawn should be newly mown and moderately wet to successfully scarify it. Use a hand spring bok rake or a powered scarifier. The goal is to tear up the thatch, dead grass plants and any weeds. The grass will usually suffer extensive visual damage after scarification. If bare patches occur, consider patching the areas by
