THE EFFECT OF SALINE ON BEAN GERMINATION AUTHOR: Erik Motyka Lab-partner: MWCC Biology I-109 Professor: Dr. Atryzek ABSTRACT: The response of Phaseolus vulgaris to increased levels of saline solution at germination and seedling growth was investigated. Seeds were germinated in paper towels placed in plastic Ziploc bags with varying concentrations of saline solution and incubated at 25°C. At the end of 14 days the seeds

BIOLOGY GERMINATION EXPERIMENT INTRODUCTION: Germination is the resumption of growth of the embryo plant inside the seed. Requirements for germination: * proper temperature * the presence of adequate water * oxygen There are two types of cotyledons: the monocotyledons (“monocots”) and the dicotyledons (“dicots”). Monocots have one cotyledon. Rice and corn are monocots. Dicots have two cotyledons. Lentils‚ lima beans‚ and green beans are dicots.* Germination in Dicots 1

radiation and its detrimental effects on plant life have been widely researched. This research studies the effects of UV radiation on sex-determination in Ceratopteris richardii. Sex determination in Ceratopteris richardii is determined by antheridiogen‚ a pheromone that promotes maleness. In this experiment‚ UV radiation was used on the wild type and mutants Her1‚ which are insensitive to the male-inducing pheromone (does not form male gametophytes). Ceratopteris richardii spores were exposed to UV radiation

in Silver Nitrate Lab: Making Silver Sabrina Kate S. Carranza – Chemistry Hour 6 I. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to distinguish the relationships between reactants and products‚ in addition to expanding on concepts such as single displacement reactions‚ mole ratio values‚ moles to mass‚ theoretical yields‚ limiting reactants‚ excess‚ stoichiometric relationships and percentage errors. II. Hypothesis: /3 -If the copper metal is submerged in the silver nitrate solution

In this lab the rate of germination in relation to temperature was observed testing the hypothesis‚ if the seeds are exposed to cold temperatures then they will not germinate. In the standard germination test a total of one hundred corn seeds were divided into four groups of twenty-five and each group was used to make a ragdoll. The rag dolls were germinated in room temperature. In the cold test one hundred corn seeds were placed on four layers of moist paper towels in the bottom of a metal tray

The rate of germination didn’t really vary between the number of paper towels throughout the experiment. Most of the seeds had germinated in the paper towels. The one outlier that was strange was the one paper towels. Only 14 of the 15 seeds germinated in that group. The difference that we could observation was the healthiness of the plants. IV. Conclusion Paragraph 1 Recap (Evidence): The purpose of our lab was to see if the amount paper towels would affect the germination of the seeds. My

The dandelion population will probably grow. Eventually‚ dandelions might take over the lawn. 3a. A population grows exponentially when it has all of the resources it needs and disease and predation do not occur. 3b. Exponential growth shows a “J shaped” curve because with each generation‚ the number

Germination in plants is the process in which dormant seed begins to grow and sprout under certain growing conditions. The English pea‚ also known as the garden pea‚ is a member of the legume family and is known to grow roughly three to four inches long. Research shows that it only takes approximately 1 week for the seed to start to germinate. There are many things that can affect‚ the growth of the pea seed such as; temperature‚ moisture‚ planting depth and sunlight. The pea grows best in temperatures

Where the Red Fern Grows by Fgosal Where the Red Fern Grows tells about a man named Billy Colman‚ whose mind drifted away back on his boyhood memories when he got his dogs. The young Billy was a boy who wanted two coon hunting dogs of his own more than anything in the world. He worked very hard by selling wares and saved money to pursue his dreams. After two years‚ he finally had enough money for two dogs. Billy made a difficult journey to get his dogs. He loved his dogs very much and spent

Seed Germination‚ Dormancy‚ and Storage 1 _________________ I. INTRODUCTION Seeds role in the germination process is a critical part in the plant ’s survival. This is practically true in almost all of the plants species (Copeland & McDonald‚ 1995). As germination is defined as "the emergence and development from the seed embryo of those essential structure"‚ which‚ for the kind of seed in question indicates "its ability to produce a normal plant under favorable
