Plant Growth Lab
Investigating the Effects of Plant growth within

Abstract
This experiment was conducted to determine whether or not those plants can grow in low fertilized, less sun light and the control group. Each group had there own task of making sure that the plants were always water, each plant had the same amount of light on them. When the plants started to evolve each individual plant was measured of the height. Most of the plants grew faster than others but over the period the plants that grew faster started to slow down while the others caught up to them. Some of the seeds wouldn’t grow fully, they will just freeze the growing and eventually stop evolving.
Introduction
The purpose of the lab was to record and notice the growth of the plants from all the different variation, like the low fertilizer, control, shaded group. There should be certain information that could help them grow fast. Water became the biggest part of this experiment. Some days the plants wouldn’t have been watered, that would have changed the data a large amount because if all the other plants were watered and the other plant specimens weren’t then that would mean that they have a higher chance of growing fast and stronger. Some unknown factors are

Each plant had grown at different rates; some didn’t grow for about another couple of days. Couple days have passed, the plants were all growing rapidly, each time the data was recorded of the height and how long the leaves were, while making sure the water capacity was up to check. Then through out the time of watching the plants grow the measurements bigger, while watching, leaves came to show as well as buds and some yellow flowers started to bloom. More of the plants became more delicate to handle and some leaves would fall off, showing that they might not be getting enough water. Always make sure your data is correct as well as watering the plants and watching the changes

    2. Five variables that should be controlled during the experiment is the amount of sunlight, room temperature, amount of water, the time of day the plant is watered and the certain type of plant. To make sure the plants get the same amount of sunlight, make sure to put them both in the same spot so that one plant doesn’t get more sunlight than the other. To make sure they both stay in the same room temperature, put them both in the same room. With the amount of water come up with a measurement, and then make sure you give both plants that amount. Pick out a time of day for the plants to get watered make sure you water one earlier than the other since it is part of your hypothesis that they grow faster when watered in the morning. Finally, make sure that…

    The dependent variable is the Brassica Rapa and it is depending on the temperature. Before the experiment took place, all plants were in 22 degrees Celsius for three weeks to grow to the preferred maturity. They were then taken out and pollinated. After pollination the plants were set in separate temperatures to mature for another two weeks. After the two weeks were over, the plants were taken out of their temperatures and soil to determine maturity and productivity. To do so, the plants were weighed, the length was measured, the pods were counted, and the amounts of mature seeds were counted as…

    Following the three week period, the number of seeds that germinated and the shoots mass were noted from each pot (Walsh and Walsh 2015). This process was conducted by cutting the end of the plant shoot and counting the number shoots which rose (Walsh and Walsh 2015). The shoots mass was noted by, compiling the shoots that were cut, using a digital weighting machine (Walsh and Walsh…

    Gregor Mendel is an Australian monk, who worked in a garden at a monastery. He experimented with pea plants, and soon became known as the father of genetics. The reason he studied pea plants was because they grow quickly, the traits can be easily observed, and the plant is easy to pollinate. Mendel’s method was to control the pollination of the pea plants and create offspring’s of the two plants that were pollinated together. Using self-pollination and cross pollination, Mendel was able to select plants that had specific traits and observe the traits that appeared in their offspring. The F1 generation is the offspring that is a cross between two parents. The F2 generation is the offspring that is a cross between two individuals in the same F1 generation. A dominant factor is the dominating factor, and the one that masks the effect of the recessive factor for the same characteristic. A recessive factor is one whose effect is taken over by the dominant factor for the same characteristic. Basically, a trait that is controlled by a recessive factor would not appear when paired with a trait controlled by a dominant factor.…

    The results for the first fast plant grew taller by three centimeter or five centimeters each week. The number of leaves also increased each week by two to three leaves. Because of the more fertilizer added to a plant the fast plant grew taller and grew more numbers of leafs. The results for the second fast plant were very similar. The height of the plant had increased by three centimeter to five centimeters. The number of leaves also increased each week by two to three leaves. The last week…

    Though the petite plants did not grow nearly as much as the plants of different phenotypes, the petite plant grew the most when competition was not present (Figure 1). Similarly, the seed pod production was higher in the single-plant treatment than the three-plant treatment (Figure 2), further supporting the hypothesis. A t-test determined that the data of growth in petite plants were statistically significant (t-test p-value = 0.00452), so competition affected the plants’ growth. Meanwhile, the data relating to the seed pod production were not statistically significant (t-test p-value = 0.146), meaning competition did not affect the production of…

    Seeds require moisture to germinate. By presoaking a seed, it strips of the protective layer of the seed and speeds up the rate of germination. But the longer someone presoaks a seed, the greater the chance it has to rot. When presoaking seeds, one should avoid planting them in dry ground due to the risk of the moisture being taken out of the seeds instead of sticking with it to germinate, leaving the seed back to its original state. purpose - There are many factors that affect germination, however this lab will determine how moisture, specifically presoaking seeds will affect germination.…
