The effect of water and fertilizer on corn seedlings Biology 1108 Lab Section November 7‚ 2012 Abstract The effect of water and fertilizer on corn seedlings was examined. It was hypothesized before the experiment that enough water with sunlight and air should make the plants grow healthy. It has to do with photosynthesis. Fertilizer is also going to make the plants grow much faster; this is because of the nutrients in it. The experiment took about four to six weeks to complete; it took some

arguments made over genetically modified organisms or GMOs are health safety‚ environmental safety‚ and economic reactions. A genetically modified organism is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. GMOs are used in food to make crops more resistant to factors such as disease‚ pesticides‚ and drought (Blackwood‚ 2004). GMOs are made when the DNA of the organism is changed. One example is corn. Over 80 percent of corn in the United States is genetically

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) Nature‚ Science and Moral Autonomy Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and genetically modified foods (GM foods) have become a highly contested topic in public debate. The controversies are the result of differing views from scientists‚ philosophers‚ economists‚ and even politicians concerning the products of “new biotechnology” in particular with regard to recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology. rDNA technology has allowed scientists to move genes across species’

Environmental Impacts used to enhance a more common food crop‚ such as corn‚ it might introduce a similar allergen which could have a severe health impact to the consumer. An alteration to a certain plant might make it inedible or harmful to another organism such as an insect that relies on it for food. It can harm organisms that are desirable or can upset the balance of the food Organisms that have been

Effect of ions on living organisms (24 marks) An ion is a charged atom or molecule. This is because it does not have an equal amount of protons and electrons‚ therefore giving the atom an overall charge. An example of an ion is ‚ this is sodium and the plus sign represents an overall positive charge. Ions are very important to living organisms as they are essential for life‚ they play an important role within the cell allowing mechanisms within the living organisms such as respiration‚ to take

GENETICALLY ALTERED CORN Corn or maize only exists in its modern form because of humans. Evidence from archaeological And genetic studies suggests that corn was bred and cultivated by early Mexican inhibiters as Early as 10‚000 years ago. The early Mesoamericans managed to develop corn from its grassy Ancestor by selective breeding. Corn was bred from a wild grain called teosinte. Teosinte is so unlike modern corn that originally botanists didn’t think the two were even related. An ear

How would you feel if I told you that the food you’re eating was made in a science lab? Genetically modified organisms‚ or GMOs‚ are the outcome of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially manipulated into the genes of an uncorrelated plant or animal. Crops are often genetically modified to be resistant to pesticides so farmers would be able to spray them without harming the crop itself. However‚ there are many consequences regarding consumers’
