Background
The growth and survival of a plant depends on the reactions that occur internally called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a reaction that captures the sun’s energy and converts it, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose, with a byproduct of oxygen. Glucose is a sugar that provides energy to allow for a plant to grow and live. This experiment is to test how photosynthesis can be sped up with a home solution. The variable being changed in this experiment is the solution that the plant is being given. In this instance, some of the plants will be given Gatorade, rather than water. The question being asked is, How well will a solution found in the home affect plant growth?
My hypothesis is that, if a plant is given Gatorade instead of water, then it will grow more quickly than if the plant is just given water. This is because of the components of Gatorade. Gatorade contains water, a key component of plant growth. But, because Gatorade contains various vitamins, sugars, and electrolytes, the plant should already be supplied with some of the products of photosynthesis, so the plant should produce sugars at a normal rate, plus have the additional bonus from the Gatorade.
Procedure
Four cups of equal size were filled with one cup of garden soil. Lima beans were planted at an equal depth (one inch as instructed on the bag). Every day, for 33 days, each plant received one half tablespoon of the specified liquid. Beans one and two got one half tablespoon of water each,
In this gummy bear lab, the goal was to see the movement of water in cells depending on the concentration of solutes in the environment. The control group was the type of water used. The research question for this experiment was, how does concentration of solute in the environment affect water movement in cells? The hypothesis thought of for this question was that the salt water would enlarge the gummy bear the most. The distilled water would not enlarge the gummy bear as much as the salt water.
The first lab was conducted to analyze how germination affects the rate of cellular respiration in lima beans compared to dormant seeds. In order to
The experiment was begun by obtaining four 8 oz. Styrofoam cups and punching a hole through the bottom of them. This hole was for water entry or excess water drainage. Moistened soil was packed to the 1/2 full line in the cup along with 3 fertilizer pellets The cups were labeled the following: Rosette-H20, Rosette-GA, Wild-Type-H2O, and Wild-type- GA.(Handout 1) A small wooden applicator stick was obtained a moistened at the tip with water from the petri dish labeled ‘water.’ This was to be able to attract the seed to the applicator in order to place the seed from its original container into
Title: The Affects of Acidic Solutions on Lima Bean Plants Abstract: To determine the best Ph to grow bean plants at maximal growth we have conducted a controlled experiment. First grew twenty five pea plants in twenty five individual hydroponic pots, with 250 ml distilled water, until they grew into mature plants. Then divided those plants into five different sections, each section has five plants. Then tested five different liquids all having different Ph levels. These liquids are distilled water, tap water, lemon water, Tylenol water and sparkling water.
In my chart, I have found out that 2% milk and Skim milk have the same amount of nutritional benefits. They both had 30% of Calcium and had low Vitamin A. Gummy Bears have the least amount of nutritional benefits. Not all gummies bears have the least amount of of nutritional content.
A one-pint jar was obtained and filled to one inch below the jar shoulder with hydroponic solution. Two 7-day old bean plants were picked out. A neoprene stopper with three holes was picked out. Cotton was wrapped around the stem where it was going to be inserted into the neoprene stopper to prevent the plant from slipping. The roots were submerged in the solution and the neoprene stopper was taped down. The point where the plant stem and the neoprene stopper met was marked with methylene blue dye. The entire jar was wrapped in aluminum foil and the aluminum foil was taped into place. These steps were repeated once more to create the hydroponic solution chamber for the control plant, as shown in Figure 1.The type of water, temperature, and
Key Findings Gatorade's SWOT Analysis Strengths Established market leader – Given Gatorade’s domination of the sports drink category, one of the company’s most powerful assets is the fact that they are so widely recognized and represented. The simple brand awareness and popularity amongst the masses and in the area of professional sports solidifies their grip on the market, demotes existing competitive brands such as Powerade, and strictly limits the possibility of debutants in the segment. Affiliations with professional athletes and teams – The affiliations that Gatorade possesses with major sports personalities and teams translates into a powerful utility in terms of not only expanding their consumer base but also truly embodying the sporting
5. Put plastic wrap over all pots until germination 6. Track growth every day for all 15 days. During this experiment all of the cat grass pots were measured every day for 15 days. I used a ruler to measure the growth of each plant. In the outcome of this experiment the regular water plant(s) grew the most, the one aspirin tablet plant(s) grew very little, and the 2 aspirin tablet plants didn’t grow hardly at all. I think this outcome happened because when I did research most of the experiments used very little amounts of medication in the plants. Also, the plants could have been over watered because the plants were watered with one and a half cup of water and aspirin added water every day. In my hypothesis, if aspirin water is added to growing cat grass, then the aspirin will make the cat grow faster because will speed up the growth process, this hypothesis does not support the data of this experiment. Since the regular water plants grew the most, that proves the hypothesis is incorrect. I think this experiment could be a benefit to society because if other students/teachers would ever want to do this experiment they can find out how aspirin does not help cat grass
The Phaseolus vulgaris, or better known as pinto beans, is known to be one of the world’s healthiest dried food. Pinto beans typically take about 90 days to grow as a dry bean, but can be harvested sooner as green snap beans. The Phaseolus vulgaris L. plants is a dry plant that require a long growing season in warm conditions. Pinto beans must not be planted too early, due to their intolerance for damp or cold conditions. If the soil drops under or to 50 degrees Fahrenheit the seed will most likely rot and if the plant is over watered it could lead to white mold in the seed, causing it to die. The Phaseolus vulgaris L. plants are considered warm-season crop; it prefers fertile and well-drained soil, along with adequate, but not excessive, moisture (Franzen,

The bottle was then inverted four times to ensure mixture. Due to the shortage of glass bottles the NAA was prepared slightly differently. We only measured out the microliters of NAA on water days and mixed the concentration with deionized water in graduated cylinders. In order to keep the concentration of the solutions the same, we measured out 10 microliters of NAA and mixed it in a graduated cylinder of 100 milliliters. Concentrations of both solutions were .01 mL. A total of 15 red beans was split evenly into three plastic circular containers and filled with regular soil. The three containers were labeled with tape and titled. The containers were watered with their respective solution, one with IAA dilution, one with NAA dilution, and the last container as a control and watered with deionized water only. The seeds were watered with 100 milliliters with their respected solution three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for five weeks. The seeds were watered together every water day, even though the time per water day differed throughout the duration of the experiment. The containers were stored on a shelf with no overhead grow light. The conaitners received light from the classroom’s light as well as the other overhead grow lights that surrounded the shelf for the entire experimental period. Observations were recorded once a week on Monday. When observations were
Introduction: Seed germination is the process in which a plant grows from a seed, using internal stores of energy. This process utilizes enzymes, and metabolic pathways and is subsequently subject to the influences of many different conditions if placed in a particular area or condition. One of these is moisture around the seed and since the seed has very little water to begin with in its dormant state, it is necessary for it to absorb water for activity through the seed coat. After water is absorbed, starch reserves are used up and the seed coat ruptures as the seed becomes way too large for the small space. Moisture is needed to even activate the process of germination and any variation of this may play a role in creating different levels of germination and even different success stories for different plants. Another element is temperature and since the process of germination is made of many metabolic pathways created by enzymes, it is subject to temperature limitations in that the enzymes may denature if the seed is too hot or not have enough activation energy at all to catalyze the slow
Water is the most natural thing we have on earth. It sustains many organisms and those organisms depend on it almost daily. Plants are such organisms. For this study the focus is the growth of beans. Over the course of two weeks my team and I conducted research comparing the two types of waters that were selected and seeing if they had any significant differences in growing beans. The first week was inconclusive due to bean rot and negligence. Test two led to a more constant observation of growth and change of location. Results gathered from this experiment have shown a difference that different waters may have on the growth of plants. Beans that consumed certain water sources
The environmental factor tested in this experiment was the addition of fertilizer versus just water giving water alone. It was hypothesized that if seeds were given fertilizer then they would germinate faster and their stems and roots would grow longer than the seeds that were given water only.
Some rapid-maturing cultivars can obtain the 150 mm they need from water retained in soils at the end of the normal growing season
