The Effect of Vitamin C on Plant Growth Aim: To determine the effect of salt/ sugar/ caffeine/ vitamin C on seed germination. Hypothesis: The plant will grow slowly or die due to the Vitamin C. Equipment: * 2 cups * 2 measuring cups * Water * Vitamin C/ orange Juice * Soil * 4 seed (2 for each cup) * A ruler Method: 1. Pour ¾ of soil into each cup 2. Plant 2 seeds into each cup. Put it about half way down the soil 3. Mix 1mL of orange juice with 5mL

properties that affect the growth rate of plants in different ways. These properties may be the wavelength of the music‚ its frequency or even its tempo. According to a study conducted by Margaret E. Collins and John E. K. Foreman‚ entitled The Effect of Sound on the growth rate of plants (2001)‚ plants growth is directly affected by sounds of varying frequencies. They observed that when plants are exposed to pure tones‚ it affects the growth of the plant. This was due to the transverse wave which

In recent years past‚ Embryonic Stem Cell research has caused a moral and ethical debate. In order To obtain embryonic stem cells‚ an early embryo has to be destroyed. To most people this act would seem highly unethical as you are potentially destroying new life. But others argue that the early stages of an embryo lack the physical mental and emotional capabilities of a human being‚ as well as most embryos being harvested have had yet to attach to the uterus in order to further develop. In addition

The Germination of Seeds of the Native Plant Acacia decurrens Practical Report Biology 1 Introduction: In a botanical sense‚ “germination is the process of emergence of growth from a resting stage.” (http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/germination). Under favourable conditions‚ the seed begins to germinate‚ and the embryonic tissues resume growth‚ developing towards a seedling. Soils from a Cumberland Plain Woodland community were investigated to determine the presence of a soil seed-bank;

Stem cell research is an emotive subject. Some maintain that it is unethical to introduce stem cell research. While others believe that stem cell research could potentially help save many lives. With the advances in stem cell research‚ we should now be able to help save people who are affected with such diverse diseases such as Parkinson’s‚ Alzheimer’s and heart disease. Stem cells also have the capability to aid others with debilitating diseases and to help those who have suffered damage to critical

Stem cells are a growing field for research. Many pursue this field due to the fact that it can solve many illnesses. Since stem cells are extracted from embryos‚ people have an ethical problem with it. Those who research stem cells believe there are ethical restrictions‚ but that is not true. As a result of stem cell research‚ embryos are being harmed or destroyed; therefore stem cell research should only be performed if there is an alternative solution. Stem cells are undefined cells that are

Stem Cell Research: Right or Wrong? Many people believe that stem cell research could be helpful or destructive. Stem cells are the body’s raw materials. They are cells from which any other cells with specialized functions are generated. They can be used to become a specialized cell(s) (differentiation) with a more specific function such as brain cells‚ heart muscle or bone‚ blood cells. Stems cells are useful because no other cell in the human

Thanks to stem cell research scientist are able to test new medications‚ learn how to repair or generate tissues or organs‚ understand disease processes and create many promising therapies. There is endless potential for scientists to learn about human growth and cell development from studying stem cells. However‚ there is a big controversy whether or not stem cell research is ethical‚ which continues to be an obstacle in advancing research

Ethical Dilemma on Stem Research Discussion of the bioethics of human stem cell research has transitioned from controversies over the source of human embryonic stem cells to concerns about the ethical use of stem cells in basic and clinical research. Key areas in this evolving ethical discourse include the derivation and use of other human embryonic stem cell–like stem cells that have the capacity to differentiate into all types of human tissue and the use of all types of stem cells in clinical research
