Sucrose Experiment

Results After the seven days of quantitative and qualitative data collection, the results showed that the substances individually had a significant effect on their respective plant. Furthermore, the original hypothesis was shown to be accurate regarding the sucrose and caffeine receiving plants, and inaccurate in the case of the plant receiving carbonated water. To begin with, it is important to note the control plant experienced unusual results, as the plant had a sharp decrease in the quantity of blooms. However, the height and width experienced little deviation and the coloration and structure of the plant experienced no significant change during the experiment. Therefore, the hypothesis remains true for the control, even with the obvious
Contrastingly, the caffeine receiving plant was stagnant in this regard, as after the first day it experienced very little deviation. Figure 1. Graph of Number of Blooms over Time Overall, the caffeine receiving plant had only slight change in its width, height, and bloom count. Each of these factors changed slightly day-by-day in the experiment, and deviation was low. However, there was notable change in the characteristics of its appearance. The plant showed signs of withering in the bottom parts of its leaves and its color began to darken. A noticeable characteristic of the plant, which was also shared by the sucrose-receiving plant, was the lack of reflexivity in the stem of the plant when moved. In consideration, this slight decline is in line with the original hypothesis. Figure 2. Photograph of Caffeine Receiving Plant's Leaf Withering on Seventh
Interestingly, the data from the carbon dioxide receiving plant is not continuous with the previous studies, however, this is not a discount of the studies of Lake et al. and Kallarackal & Roby as their information declares an impotent effect of carbon dioxide on the entirety of the organism and our current study was limited in studying only the exterior aspects of the organism (2012;
