Bioassay of Radish Seeds Bioassay is a type of scientific experiment used in the development of new drugs and monitoring pollutants. It estimates the potency of a substance‚ by testing its effect on living matter. In other words‚ it determines how much of the substance is needed to poison an individual‚ without testing it on any humans or animals. From here the TC50 of the substance can be adjusted for dealing with humans and animals over plants. In this lab we attempted to find the potency of

Effect of seed germination Purpose: To see the effect of an acid introduced during seed germination‚ on the length of the plant roots. Also shows how salt can affect the seed germination. Acid can be introduced to seeds during germination if there is acid rain. Knowing the results of acid rain on seed germination will help us understand how to grow pants better‚ and how to have more successful germination. Salt can be introduced into a seed during germination because salt is put on roads and the

Sofia Dominguez 10-O 19/03/14 Effect of pH on germination of seeds: Design Practical Introduction: The term pH stands for Hydrogen Potential it is used to determine the acidity of a substance. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. The values that are smaller than 7 indicate the range of acidity. Higher pH values are alkaline and a pH of 7 is neutral. Acidity is a function of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+)‚ or protons. The strength of alkaline solutions is measured by the concentration of hydroxide

Radish Seed Lab Report Problem: What caffeinated drink (monster‚ coffee‚ or green tea) will the radish seeds grow in the best form over a nine day period? Hypothesis: If the radish seeds put in the dish with the drink Monster‚ then the seeds will grow faster because of the amount of energy given to them. The amount of caffeine in Coffee is much greater than the amount in green tea and Monster‚ but neither coffee nor green tea contains any extra type of an energy booster like the Monster does.

Justification Paper Jim Lammers There is no disputing the fact that performance enhancing drugs have the potential to raise the level of competition in athletics. The goals in sport can be boiled down to higher‚ farther‚ and faster; therefore in order to improve competition it is necessary to make athletes bigger‚ faster and stronger. Professional athletes (not collegiate or interscholastic) should be allowed to make choices in their training regimen which will make them better prepared to do the

Germination in plants is the process in which dormant seed begins to grow and sprout under certain growing conditions. The English pea‚ also known as the garden pea‚ is a member of the legume family and is known to grow roughly three to four inches long. Research shows that it only takes approximately 1 week for the seed to start to germinate. There are many things that can affect‚ the growth of the pea seed such as; temperature‚ moisture‚ planting depth and sunlight. The pea grows best in temperatures

In this lab we used radish seeds planted in twelve different pots and three different percentages of isopropyl alcohol (5%‚ 10%‚ & 20%). The first three pots were the controls and they were only given tap water. The second set of three pots were labeled as the low group and they were each given 5% of isopropyl alcohol. The third set of three pots were labeled as the medium group and they were each given 10% of isopropyl alcohol. The fourth set of three pots were labeled as the high group and they

practical report‚ its about effect of salt in seed germination) I put seed in plastic container in the dark room…please help me with systematic and random errors) I need to hand up my assignment on 31st of October-2013‚ can you please help me AS SSON AS POSSIBLE THANK YOU‚ I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE YOU IN YOU HELP ME‚ YOU WILL BE GREATFULL FOR ME ) Abstract: The problem was to determine the effect of salt water on germinating radish and sunflower seeds‚ and also to determine if there was a maximum

this experiment was the bag that contained the radish seeds with tap water. This was an important part to have in the experimental design because I was able to compare this to the other bags that contained coffee‚ ammonia‚ and vinegar. With the results that I collected‚ I was able to gather more observation and data. 2) The independent variable in this experiment was the pH level of the solutions‚ whereas the dependent variable was number of seeds that each solution was able to germinate.

The purpose of this lab was to investigate how size of seeds impact respiration rate. It was hypothesized that bigger seed will require more oxygen because more energy is needed to sustain the seed’s homeostasis. For this experiment 4 groups was set up with 0.5 mL worth of the following seeds: peas (1) ‚ black beans (1)‚ radish seeds‚ and glass beads (control). The black bean served as the biggest size‚ peas were medium‚ and radish seeds were the smallest. After setting up the microrespirometer and
