Does wind speed affect the opening of stomata? I am exploring the effect of wind speeds in light and dark environments on transpiration. If the wind speed is high enough during the night time will this cause the opening of stomata and transpiration‚ even though it is against the plants bioloical clock to do so? I’ve got 3 different wind speeds on the fan and I’m keeping the temperature constant in both light/dark environments. Wind speed does not normally cause stomata to open. Indeed‚ high

Bioassay of Radish Seeds Bioassay is a type of scientific experiment used in the development of new drugs and monitoring pollutants. It estimates the potency of a substance‚ by testing its effect on living matter. In other words‚ it determines how much of the substance is needed to poison an individual‚ without testing it on any humans or animals. From here the TC50 of the substance can be adjusted for dealing with humans and animals over plants. In this lab we attempted to find the potency of

Ninety percent of GMO crops are designed to be Roundup ready. What that means is farmers can spray Roundup weed killer DIRECTLY onto crops that will be turned into the food that you and your family eat. That’s right. These crops that are turned into food that finds its way to your dinner table‚ have been genetically modified so that they can be sprayed directly with Roundup poison and survive. The poison is absorbed internally into every cell of the plant. It is then harvested‚ processed into food

Animal Testing Animal testing or animal experimentation is the use of non-humans in experiments conducted inside of universities‚ medical schools and pharmaceutical and commercial facilities. The researchers study genetics‚ toxicity testing and cosmetic testing also animals are breezed for education and defense research. Animal testing should not be continued because the tests put animal through pain‚ some tests do not even work and there are alternative which protect animals that can be used instead

Generally people associate raves(Underground Techno parties) with designer drugs like Ecstasy(MDMA)‚ Speed(amphetamine) and other acids like LSD. These drugs are called the Techno Drugs for that reason and most of the time have uplifting and sensatory effects. To understand more clearly the relationship between the raves and these drugs‚ we first have to understand the philosophy behind the Techno era‚ and a little about the music. "Techno‚ can lift the spirit and become a new world of freedom and

His symptoms had matched the general symptoms of an ibuprofen overdose in cats. According to the Ibuprofen and Naproxen Toxicity article the common overdose symptoms included vomiting and diarrhea.

GMO Foods The topic of genetically modified foods is one that is hotly debated‚ but the problem is that the phrase GMO is very broad and encompasses techniques and modifications to food that you potentially should and shouldn’t be concerned about. At this point in time there doesn’t seem to be an overt benefit or risk to consuming GMO foods. According to the FDA‚ the big three GMO foods are soybeans‚ corn‚ and canola. But the FDA has also evaluated the safety of genetic modifications to flax

Having worked for a busy animal hospital‚ I can attest that we got many cases of chocolate toxicity‚ pancreatitis‚ intestinal obstructions‚ bloody stools and lots and lots of V+D‚ which was simply an abbreviation meaning vomiting and diarrhea. Many of these problems could have been avoided‚ if only a few precautions were taken. What may seem like
