Duckweed as a nutrient thief and bioremediator Hypothesis: This experiment will evaluate duckweed and its ability to remove nutrients and toxins from water sources. Thus‚ duckweed will kill the organisms that require similar nutrients‚ yet aid the organisms that would otherwise die to toxins. Specifically‚ if one was to place Elodea plants in a tank with duckweed‚ then the Elodea will die due to the lack of nutrients from the duckweed having used the nutrients for its own benefits.

diet contains sufficient nutrients‚ but also makes meals more interesting rather than eating the “same old thing” day after day. This approach is also best because no one particular food choice meets all of a person’s nutrient needs. For example‚ although carrots have a rich source of a pigment that forms vitamin A‚ you are neglecting various other nutrients found only in other vegetables. In this regard‚ diversity in your diet is essential because the required nutrients are scattered among many

Through research our group came to the conclusion that agar‚ pearlite and mulched grass could all greatly contribute to enriching the nutrient of the soil. We predict that one of the treatments‚ using the above listed ingredients‚ will have a greater growth rate than the controlled plant strictly using
