5. Salt kills the plants because the cells of plants contain water and many other dissolved substances. Since the water has a lower concentration, water molecules try to move the inside and outside the cell wall to equalize the concentration of dissolved substances in the cell, which is called osmosis. Water molecules will be sucked out of the cell by a high concentration of salt, and resultingly it causes the plants to dehydrate due to an osmosis.…
4) The amount of water the plants receive. This can be controlled by measuring a precise amount of water, using a tool such as a beaker, ensuring that each plant gets the same amount of water every day.…
Radish plants usually grow in about three days if optimal conditions are kept. Optimal conditions for radish plants includes a soil whose pH is from 6 to 7. The soil has to be fine and not crumbly in order for the roots to grow. Also, they need at least 6 hours of sunlight and their soil should always be kept moist (GardenAdvice, 2007). In this experiment, 5% concentrated vinegar and 5% concentrated ammonia will be used on the radish plants in order to see which chemical kills the plants faster. It is hypothesized that ammonia will kill the radish plants faster than vinegar or both vinegar and ammonia combined.…
Purpose: In this experiment, the purpose was to have found out how different chemical solutions help or harm radish plant growth when the seeds of the radish plant are soaked in said solutions prior to planting.…
Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to examine how low and high densities of radish and wheat seeds affect the plants growth rate and competition. The competition occurs when resources are limited to the plants. The two types of competitions that occur are interspecific and intraspecific. Interspecific is a competition between two different species and intraspecific is a competition between the plants own species.…
Some scientists believe that germinating radish seeds give off a chemical that interferes with the germination of other seeds. A few years ago, a group of scientists published a scientific paper that demonstrated that germinating radish seeds have an allelopathic effect upon lettuce seeds. A year later, another group of botanists repeated the experiment. The second group claimed that the radish seedlings had no allelopathic effect upon lettuce seed germination or growth. Now it is your turn to determine if radish seedlings do have an allelopathic effect upon lettuce seeds.…
For each treatment, we obtained two planting trays with cell flats- in which one corner cell was cut out to water the plants. We filled all cell flats with the fertilized soil and used forceps to place one seed with 3-4mm deep in the middle of each cell. After all trays of cells were planted, we brought these trays in a growth room and watered the plants. In the growth room, the amount of light, the temperature, and the humidity was kept the same for both control and experiment treatments. By using a ruler, we poured water into the trays up to 3 cm through the open-corner cells. We then watered the plants up to 1cm every Monday and Wednesday and up to 3cm every Friday. We also made a log of water that recorded who watered, how much water, and observations of the…
9. Suppose a gardener picks some radishes and finds that they are too small. Since radishes are biennials, the gardener leaves the remaining plants in the ground, thinking that they will grow larger during their second year. Is this a good idea? Explain.…
The question being asked here would be “Does a plant grow bigger if watered with milk? Or water?” In my opinion the answer would be milk because milk contains vitamins and calcium that water does not have, but the answer is to be found out later during the project. Well, it is known that for a plant to survive it will definitely need air, soil, water, light, and space to grow, but maybe if we replaced water with milk, plants could grow bigger and quicker, you never know. To test my theory, every morning before school I will water two of my plants with water like I regularly do, and two of my plants with milk which will be something new and will hopefully help my plants grow big and strong. The milk will probably help make the plants stronger. We humans need to have nutrients which we get from the food we eat that helps our bodies grow and stay healthy. Of course, just like us, plants also need the nutrients to grow. Milk actually contains quite a few nutrients, which may or may not help the plant grow bigger. Milk could also act as the plants fertilizer which could improve the plants growth. Those are just some of the ways that milk would help a plant grow.…
In the summer where space allows it, children can grow vegetables e.g. potatoes, carrots and radishes. It is also possible to grow salad indoors during the winter months in window boxes.…
In order to choose a great location to build a garden, you must not start it in a windy area and also the most important is the amount of sunlight the garden will recieve.…
- Plants usually grow better in this sort of environment because they can receive all the proper nutrients needed to live.…
Some plants grow taller than others and so they need to be planted accordingly. Also some plants flower all summer long, some only in spring, some in fall. So, before planting, you need to decide where to plant so that it can keep your garden look more exciting and…
Growing indoors is fairly more difficult than growing outdoors. To grow indoors you need special requirements which are a suitable growing place, best if the space had all white…
