arrow-shaped leaves. The plants resemble the heartleaf philodendron with leaves that solid green or variegated with white‚ yellow‚ pink or silver veins. It is very attractive as a potted plant; however‚ as the plant matures‚ it gradully developes long trailing stems and the leaves become larger with three to five lobes. When this happens‚ you either must plant it in a hanging planter or use some type of support such a stake or pole for it to grow up on. If you would rather have your plant remain small and

Allelopathy and interference and the effect they have on plant growth. Allelopathy occurs in plants. Many plants produce chemicals that may be harmful or beneficial to other plants. In some cases a species can produce chemicals that can prevent the growth or germination of another species. An example of this is Australian native plants such as Casuarinas and Eucalypts which produce allelochemicals that prevent competition of other plants. This is a form of a defence mechanism in order to survive

spectrum causes plants to grow faster. The prediction was that read light would cause the most growth in plants and that blue light would result in slower growth. The results did not support the hypothesis. Referring to table‚ one can see that blue caused both the spinach and radish plant to grow the most and that green light cause the plants to grow less. Spinach is a long-day plant therefore it was able to grow better under a constant light source. This would have aided in the plant growing faster

include negatives and‚ if possible‚ positive controls. Is your negative control a test plant that is planted in a pot with no legume planted in the pot? Do you have any other negative controls? How about positive controls? Are there some plants which you know will grow well under the conditions that you are specifying? Are you using these as positive controls‚ while your test plants will be a different type of plant? 2. I suspect they also include a method of checking‚ periodically‚ for results "over

Rivers‚ as they flow to the sea they carry with them sediments. Sediment transportation is dominant in the upland flows where the velocity or speed of the river flow is very fast and the slope is of a steep type. As the sediments are carried along to the lowland‚ the water velocity is reduced and so there is a reduction in the speed of the

Data Analysis Does radiation affect the growth of seeds? If‚ plant seeds are exposed to microwave radiation‚ then the seeds will grow less than how a seed is usually grown. The independent variable was the amount of microwave radiation the seeds receive. The dependent variable was the growth of the plant seeds. Control variables were the amount of water (30 mL at a time)‚ the amount of light (11 hours each day)‚ and the amount of seeds. The control group was the non-microwaved seeds. The experimental

After the plants grew up‚ we measured the leaf density of both treatments. We then randomly selected 10 parents in control treatment‚ and also selected 10 parents with lowest leaf density in the experiment treatment to establish the offspring generation. When the offspring population had the same growing time as the original population‚ we measured the leaf density of the two offspring populations and compare to the two original populations. We found that the leaf density of the plants was a variable

green planet enveloped in plants. 2. What was the soundless‚ violent explosion that Eiseley refers to? Why could this be referred to as an explosion? a. The sudden appearance and domination of angiosperms/flowering plants. This can be defined as an explosion because plants went from relative unimportance to suddenly taking a revolutionary role in the entire earth’s ecosystem. Just like an explosion‚ angiosperms spread extremely suddenly and rapidly. 3. What type of plants were the first to appear
