The Effect of Water on Germination and Plant Growth in Marigolds Question: How does the amount of water given to a plant affect how much it grows? Hypothesis: If I give water to a marigold seed then it will germinate and the plant will grow more than a seed not given water. Independent Variable (IV): the amount of water given a seed/plant Dependent Variable (DV): the amount of plant growth Control Group: The group of plants given water Experimental Group: The group of plants given no water

Lab #4 The Synthesis of Organic Polymers CHM2123‚ Section C October 21‚ 2014 Introduction: Organic polymers are macromolecules that are composed of smaller molecules called monomers. There are two main groups of polymers: natural polymers and unnatural (synthetic) polymers. Natural polymers include proteins such as cellulose and starch and are a necessity for our existence. On the other hand‚ synthetic polymers such as the polycarbonate in our lab goggles

Molecule Assignment Parmvir Deo The molecule that I chose was creatine Creatine’s organic role cannot be disparaged. It assumes a key biological role for mammals‚ fish‚ reptiles and amphibians. Creatine helps muscles in delivering adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ the substance that facilitates blasts of energy down to the cellular level. Creatine is put away in muscle cells as phosphocreatine and is utilized to produce cell vitality for muscle compressions. The phosphate of ATP is exchanged to creatine

Carnivorous Plants In a world where plants are at the bottom of the food-chain‚ some individual plant species have evolved ways to reverse the order we expect to find in nature. These insectivorous plants‚ as they are sometimes called‚ are the predators ‚ rather than the passive prey. Adaptations such as odiferous lures and trapping mechanisms have made it possible for these photosynthesizers to capture‚ chemically break-down and digest insect prey (and in some cases even small animals.) There
