Part A: Title: Diffusion Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of particles from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated. For this experiment‚ a 14 cm glass was filled with cold tap water. A drop of red food coloring was dropped in the cup. A stopwatch was used to measure the time it took for the food coloring to get to the bottom of the cup. The average diffusion rate was .78 cm a second. If a different color was used‚ I do not think it would have made a difference

An experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Farm‚ Bangladesh Agricultural University‚ Mymensingh during 1998-99 growing season to study the effect of nitrogen and plant spacing on the growth and yield of potato (var. Diamant). Different nitrogen levels viz. 0‚ 127.0‚ 190.5 and 254.0 kg N/ha significantly influenced plant height‚ foliage coverage‚ number of main stem per hill‚ days required for 80% maturity of the crop‚ fresh weight of haulm (g/hill)‚ number of tubers per hill‚ weight of tubers
