WEAKNESSES OF INVESTIGATION 23 IMPROVEMENTS OR FUTURE INVESTIGATIONS 23 CONCLUSION 25 INTRODUCTION Hydroponics is a technique of growing plants without basing them in soil. Hydroponic systems have been used since ancient times; it is believed that the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon employed a technique of ‘flowing water’ to keep plants alive. Chinese and South American cultures appear to have used hydroponics in cultivating crops since around 1300AD (Turner. B. n.d.). There

home to many species of plants‚ both known and unknown. Our dependencies on tropical plants are vast ranging from the daily essentials of food and shelter‚ to cures for cancer and possibly AIDS. As destruction of the rainforest continues‚ the effects on plants are immense through the loss of genetic diversity and the disappearance of species. Plant species extinction is reaching critical levels. With this extinction comes a cascade of effects on the ecosystems in which plants play a vital role.

I predict that as I increase the temperature‚ the distance moved by the meniscus will also increase. I believe this will happen as aerobic respiration is taking place. This is respiration involving the consumption of oxygen gas‚ producing carbon dioxide and water‚ as shown below. C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36ATP This process allows energy to be produced in the form of ATP‚ Adenosine Triose Phosphate. This occurs by converting glucose into pyruvate via glycolysis. Pyruvate is then transported

The Effect of Concentration‚ pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity Biology For Majors October 4‚ 2012 Abstract We examined the reaction an enzyme has when its concentration‚ pH and temperature are altered. In order to do this‚ we added different levels of pH into different test tubes with the enzyme (sucrose)‚ and substrate (sucrose)‚ and we then inverted the tube. The higher pH produced more enzyme activity. Temperature effects enzyme activity by decreasing its stability when the temperature

Schlimm’s article is mainly targeted towards children and teenagers. She begins by expressing the main point that some people rely on their cell phones for everything and gives reason of why this may be and list examples. Schlimm then extends her argument and tells how cell phones are used and what they are

EFFECTS OF WATER SOLUTIONS IN PLANT GROWTH CHAPTER I Introduction Plants are affected by different substances that come into contact with them. These effects may be good or bad. There are certain substances such as fertilizers‚ which have a positive effect on the growth of certain plants‚ more specifically pechay (Brassica rapa variety chinensis). Pechay is commonly used in cooking in Filipino households. It requires little attention as it is a very hardy plant. It is rich in vitamins A‚
