Silas Ferrao Dr. Hurd AP Biology 08/26/2013 “Windows On Research”: The Effects of Enzyme Complex On Performance‚ Intestinal Health‚ and Nutrient Digestibility of Weaned Pigs” The research completed (August 2013)‚ evaluates the effects of inserting an enzyme complex (amylase‚ protease‚ xylanase) on the performance‚ intestinal‚ and nutrient digestion of weaned pigs. Experiment one had 108 piglets (28 days weaning) feeding on 0‚ 100‚ or 150 ppm enzyme complex. 6 pigs‚ at the end‚ from control

Carnivores can affect the size of prey populations in a community and determine the places prey can live. Herbivores can affect both the size and distribution of plant populations in a community and determine the places that certain plants can survive and grow. For example: let A represent a carnivore‚ B represent a herbivore‚ and C represent plants. If A is abundant in a given area‚ there will be less B because A hunt B. Since B hunts C‚ there will be more C where there are more A‚ because of the lack

Although not considered to be part of the rainforest destruction list‚ the palm plant actually spreads and regrows or sprouts into two new branches when harvested and do not die. After the harvest‚ the xateros is then shipped to North America and Europe where florists use them to add greenery color and beautiful

The Effects of Sildenafil on Plant Growth using Brassica rapa seeds Introduction: Plant growth and development are affected by an overwhelming amount of factors in their environment but all these factors can be manipulated and given the perfect conditions the plant can grow to reach its peak size and potential. Rate of plant growth intrigued my fellow group members and I so it was decided that growth in mm as well as germination of the seed itself would be studied. With research being conducted

Flowers and weeds are completely different in which they grow to reproduce or grow to destroy. Knowingly that weeds also reproduce. Flowers are known to be a brightly colored and conspicuous example of such a part of a plant together with its stalk‚ typically used with others as a decoration or gift. While weeds are not capable

However‚ not all daylilies are the same genetically‚ which complexifies the process of breeding the plants. If the two plants are not of the same genetic ploidy‚ then the two plants cannot produce seed without

The Venus Fly Trap The Venus Fly Trap‚ Dionaea muscipula‚ is a carnivorous plant native to the bogs and swamplands of North and South Carolina(Halpern 2). It preys on insects with its uniquely shaped terminal portion of its leaves. Each leaf has two primary regions: the leaf-base and the trapping mechanism(Souza 3). The flat typical leaf-like region is called the leaf-base and it is capable of carrying out photosynthesis and grows out of the ground. The trapping mechanism‚ called the leaf-blade
